It tells them that even if they effectively execute a #US #citizen who presents no threat on camera on a public street, they will face no consequences—a recipe for future tragedies. The state’s interest in finding a way to at least create some deterrence to deadly federal lawlessness is not just a matter of #justice: It is also a way of keeping its people safe moving forward.

Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.!'"

The demonstrators marched in a circle outside in the bone-chilling cold.

"Today, general strikes are rare in the #US largely because they are difficult to coordinate. But lawmakers and the courts for decades have also restricted the power of #unions.
The two largest general strikes in US #history are the #Seattle General Strike of 1919, where the city of 315,000 people stopped working, and the #Oakland General Strike of 1946, where nearly 130,000 workers refused to work and shut down commerce throughout the area."

"Friday may be the largest worker action in the state’s history, said Christa Sarrack, president of a labor union... Ms. Sarrack said some of the #union members’ employers had decided to close for the day, while others were allowing employees to not come to work.
“We cannot simply sit by and allow this to continue,” Ms. Sarrack said. “We must use every tool that we have to fight back.”"

"The time to organize for that is right now. Talk to friends, talk to family, have a plan.
But beyond that: There are people in your community, today, doing the work that needs to be done. Reach out to the immigrant rights organizations that exist in your town... Find out how you can help. Find the food banks and pantries in your area, ask what you can do... Find the mutual aid groups... These groups, these people, they all exist, near you, right now."

"They have come to the Twin Cities with 2000, 3000 troops & the people of #Minneapolis St Paul have answered back with tens of thousands more.

Nobody should have to do this.
But we do it."

#DOJ "refusing to investigate Ms. Good’s death...
But the real explanation may be more sinister. Since she was killed, we’ve seen multiple videos in which #immigration officers refer to her death to threaten people lawfully observing or recording them. The real motivation appears to be to make all the other Renee Goods out there, the liberal “wine moms” watching over immigration raids, wonder if they might be next."

"We use words like “police state.” Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

Trump sent a text message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre... And I genuinely need you to read this, because summarizing it doesn’t do justice to how absolutely deranged it is:
Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
