Body Cams Won't Protect Us

Kristi Noem has agreed to issue body cams to all DHS agents in Minneapolis and across the country. But study after study shows this does nothing to increase accountability and instead will just continue to increase the bloated DHS budget and give them more tools to surveil all of us.

This IS Fascism. And Congress Won't Save Us.

In response to Alex Pretti, ANOTHER US citizen, being ex*cuted at the hands of ICE/Border Patrol, Pam Bondi has issued a ransom note and requested MN voter rolls, and Congress will do very little to stop the carnage.

The New Trump World Order

Trump wants Greenland. At first it was a joke, now it is not. European leaders are responding more forcefully to defend against increasing US threats. New tariffs and a breakdown of the NATO alliance could create chaos at home and abroad.
