Madel: "There are citizens hiding in their homes right now in Minnesota. They're afraid to go outside. We have citizens because of the color of the skin are carrying papers, their passport with them, because they're afraid of being picked up by the federal govt. That is antithetical to everything our country is about. Literally everything. I want my daughters to know I stood up and said 'no.' It's far more important that I said 'no' to this than I become the Republican gubernatorial candidate."
This is the SECOND TIME in a MONTH that a fucking *basketball game* has opened with a moment of silence for a Minnesotan who was just murdered by the federal government.
America is a dystopia.
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. https://t.co/GWkzLyoHPz

This is not what America, or anywhere, should be

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was an ICU Nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. Under the fascist authoritarian Trump regime, in the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.
I feel like a disabled autistic 15 year old child going missing and ending up in ICE custody should be far bigger news.
Especially considering he’s been located yet NOT returned to his mother.
This is kidnapping.
Yet the combination of racism & ableism means it gets ignored.
The No Kings protests aren’t for Trump to see.
They’re for the marginalized so they know they aren’t alone.
…for unaffected people so they know this isn’t normal.
…for Republicans so they know their blind obedience to fascism won’t be tolerated.
Today I participated in the “No Kings” protest, here in Tallinn, even though I was all alone. I stood for an hour in front of the US embassy. I cannot accept what is happening in the US. This is not the country I grew up in.
BREAKING: Analysts are calling this the biggest protest in American history. It’s far bigger than any rally Donald Trump has ever had. This is Boston. Rallies just like this are happening in cities big and small all around the country. Let’s go.
The United States has informed the guarantor nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.
This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts. The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.
Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire.
The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground, and advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole.
