A MAGA Christian nationalist dressed up like a police officer to shoot and kill Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. We should still be talking about it. If lawmakers aren't safe, not one of us is safe.

Yes we absolutely should
And Mike Lee should be on his way out of the Senate. Both Dems. and Repubs. just shrug and let it go.
And Mike Lee should be censored.
GOP has blocked significant immigration reform since 2001, while promoting racially based unrest. Republicans have killed immigration & border bills by refusing a vote in either the House or the Senate in 2013, 2021, & (at Trump's request) 2024. Congress often disregards the preferences of voters.
Oh, we would be hearing about it 24/7 if it had been any form of identifiable Democrat who shot Republican lawmakers. Our media is owned by right-wing billionaires who largely determine what America is talking about and when. These propagandists must be pushed out of the US.
Absolutely 💯
So many wannabes using the "crisis's to fulfill their dreams of being "police".
😡😡😡
corporate media here won't even acknowledge that he is a MAGA they just mention that he might follow extremists
Puts good cops in a bad situation as well. How the hell do you trust that it's really a cop at your door?
Still waiting for the white house statement sharing tots and pears.
The WH statement was a rant about Walz.
They'll never accept responsibility for the hate they spread. They know they're doing it. It's part of their strategy for control. "Stand down, and stand by." MAGA is a malignant tumor.
✊
And it makes anyone with sense wonder if the other people cosplaying as law enforcement really are!
There are masked men that can send us to death camps with no due process. I think the danger remains more real for us normal folks than for any politicians.
Every armed MAGA scares me.
Exactly. It's a national emergency. And will get worse if not addressed properly.
Seems a civil war has started because Republicans are already shooting.
What you need to understand is that the entire Republican Party is traitorous, fascist trash. And so are the ignorant rubes who vote for them. There are ZERO adults in the room. The Republicans in congress are there to ensure the oligarchs have absolute power over us. We are a fascist country.
I do understand, unfortunately. Only small hope there may be against their big beautiful bill is for a few that are either moderates or just too fearful of reactions of their constituents to hold out against immediate passage. Midterms seem too far away and I’m not sure what will be left by then
Every Republican member of congress knows full well that the people who vote for them consume no factual political news. They don’t know what’s in that bill; most of them probably can’t even remember the name of their rep in congress.
They can be instructed to believe something by right wing media one day, and something the opposite the next day, and they will never question it. These people are so ignorant, so lacking in any kind of literacy or ethics or civic values, they ALWAYS reward fascist who harm them by re-electing them
"A MAGA Christian nationalist dressed up like a police officer to shoot and kill Minnesota Democratic lawmakers." yeah,. this need far more attention!
If lawmakers aren't safe, they will keep voting as they are told to vote.
Oh yeah whatever happened to him? Is he replacing Big Balls in the administration?
Thank you. I agree keep talking about this horrendous murder by a white Christian nationalist MAGA cult member.
A government of the people cannot afford to let families of politicians be targeted in any way. Who would endanger their families to serve? There is a responsibility that goes with Liberty. And I think we should be making the families of politicians off limits legally and socially. The big shun.
You’re confused. The Republican Party wants and actively stokes this violence. They want civil war and war abroad. It’s very profitable for the oligarchs that own our government (because our voters are so fucking stupid they handed it to them on a silver player).
Not to mention that a maga christian cosplayed to kill an elected official...
We are still talking about it and mourning the tragedy locally, yesterday I posted a few updates that have come out.
😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
I think we are too loving. Being law abiding is an anchor in deep waters. Criminal REPUGS have broken all the rules and laws. If they feared for their lives they might stop being bad. I know it seems such an unhinged response. Someday I fear people will realize I was right. As they land at a gulag.
Lone wolf, mental health, thoughts and prayers, water under the bridge, why are you stuck in the past? Oh, also, check out all of these new crimes we've done!
Americans are tuned out, totally ignorant. That’s why we’ve lost our democracy. They’re lazy, they don’t read, and their heads are full of trash. Americans don’t have the motivation or the courage to be informed, active citizens. We’re a fascist country now due to this laziness and ignorance.
MAGA Christian nationalist terrorist.
When they are pushing the horribles at us through a firehouse, the news cycles are shorter. Yes, it is important to investigate & prosecute those responsible & look for ways to halt the extremism. Also, there is that Big Ugly spending Bill. Urge followers to call Repub Senators to vote “NO”!
Until proven otherwise, I'll assume the murderer was, in fact, a LEO. We have people claiming to be ICE agents wearing masks, no uniforms, no badges, no I.D., no nothing except weapons. We know a huge percentage of LEO's are magats.
He owned a company that provides “private security.” Rent a cops. Posing as real cops. It’s easy and the real cops like to let you do it.
Not really the point I I was making, but OK
I mean, many weren't safe before he was killed. Lawmakers aren't the baseline or the "last straw". They're an indication of how far some are willing to go or let happen before they enact change.
No. We are NOT safe
Especially the general public. IMO, if there is willingness to be this high profile …
We should also be talking about Trump's attempted assassination, who was planning to attend college, NOT die. Stephen Miller is smearing the young man but as per this article, are they investigating anyone else? Who radicalized him? We still don't know enough. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...
Im am sick to death of trump’s Nazi regime. Impeach the crude lude and rude monster 👹
And yes, we all long for the days (8 months ago) when we could focus on a project that was not about stopping the over-ruling of our democracy. But, this is what we have. We must prioritize our efforts & act to preserve voting and democracy. There are many ways to help. Volunteer: mobilize.us
As a group, voters have more ability to change this than all the Dems in Congress! CALL the Republican Senators & House Rep of your State/District before July 2nd. Urge them to act in your benefit. Read a BBB summary. Urge them to vote “NO” on the parts of the BBB you don’t like. Be specific.
Amazing to me how this dropped off from media coverage. wtf?
Try being a brown or black person.
Correct 🎯
I recently attended a private fundraising event for my Congresswoman. I have been to dozens of similar events for this person over the year. There were 2 uniformed police officers outside the event this time. This is because of MAGA violence.
Who definitely should not stop talking about it are real uniformed policemen. Someone stealing their legitimacy and using it to commit a heineous criome is among the worst things that can happen. They should go loud about this, denounce it every chance they get.
They're fascist goons though, so they won't. They're tacitly on the shooter's side.
My guess is they are have various opinions and mindsets internally across the whole spectrum. But even fascists hate it if their authority is usurped, sop they should have a similar stance here.
There's no such thing as a leftist cop, so, no, definitely not "across the spectrum". And their authority isn't being usurped; the violence is the result of stochastic terrorism by their Nazi bosses. They are still, for now, keeping up appearances by arresting him, but that's about it.
If someone poses as a policeman he usurps authority, like someone who poses as a fireman or a judge. A uniform is a legitimization, to wear it without permission is usurpation of power. As for diversity of political opinions in US police, here is a source: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Never argue with a watermelon emoji.
I'm out of the loop, what's the watermelon emoji denote?
Solidarity with Palestine
Thank you.
This should be reposted every single day so no one forgets.
Local MN is glorifying Vance Boelter by plastering has face EVERYWHERE on their websites and giving his wife a platform to excuse her way out. What other charged murderer is sensationalized like this? Meanwhile very few stories about the victims and not PEEP from 🤬MN GOP🤬
Two people and their dog were assassinated and people are like “meh.” Another two people were shot up and left for dead, with one of them covering their daughter’s body to protect her, and people are like “meh.” But people will lose their mind bc a trans kid wants to run xc.
Slimestream Media has moved on. tRump sucked the air out of the story. I’m waiting for MAGA Christian Nationalist dressed up like ICE to show their face. The outrage is not loud enough yet.
Interesting that it got almost no coverage & 4 people were shot w/ 2 dead & are still recovering? Not a Happy Sunday Father's Day for their families changed forever?
@cnn.com @msnbc.com @nbcnews.com @meetthepress.com @apnews.com @wsj.com @nytimes.com Why have you all stopped talking about this?
Christian terrorism
Criminals, other than ICE, are pretending to be ICE criminals so they can get away with kidnapping crimes. Same kind of deception.
The former House Speaker, her husband & dog are lying in state at our Capitol tomorrow. It will be a long time before that is forgotten here in MN, but it's not even a sidenote when stories about ICE randos snatching people comes up. Feels like ppl are getting numb to outrage & it's scary
Absolutely! 💯
They will be lying in state at the Minnesota Capitol tomorrow. With their dog. We will not forget.
Recycled Nazis LOVE to hide behind flags and religion. As they fill out their kill list.
It’s amazing it’s not even a blip anymore.
Not one of us is safe. Trump is attacking minorities, lgbtq, the poor and democrats. Only maga is safe in the US right now.
MAGA attitude, it was just Dems😒
We haven't been safe since January.
It’s not good. I’ve resisted owning a gun since I got out the USMC IN 1974. Not resisting any longer. My father fought fascists in 1944.
He also murdered their dog.
He almost certainly had help. These fascists have pretty sophisticated militia networks and plenty of contacts in both state and federal law enforcement.
Get a gun — several if you can — and learn how to use it. Especially if you live in a red state. Melissa Hortman won’t be their last victim. Trump sent them a clear directive when he pardoned 1500 of their cohorts on his first day back.
Notice how the media does a great job of selecting the news and for how long or short they post things. I recall all the GOP flap about bathrooms and what to name them, Hunters Laptop, months on Hillary and Benghazi, Obama's birth centrifugate. Yes crickets in a short time on shooting of Dems?
How long did maga talk about a singed ear? Dead people are not even a concern for maga.
No injury because no real threat. If that whiny orange bitch got shot he would scream about it EVERY DAY! That was the big lie.
Has the shooter appeared in court yet? Said anything further? This story is disappearing because they seem to have disappeared the Maga Republican culprit
Agreed, keep on keeping on
And the media barely spent one day on the story.
Instead, we're arguing over the word " obliterated". 🙄
Notice how we've quit talking about it already? But if it were Republicans that a Biden-voting Democrat had assassinated, the ICEstapo would probably be looking at voter registrations right now.
None of us are safe. But Republicans will never care until it affects them personally. They actively cheer when it hurts immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ people, women, Native Americans, etc. They will never have empathy for others.
It is SHOCKING how quickly that disappeared from mainstream media
And it illustrates how easy it is for criminals to dress up like ICE and commit violent crimes.
bsky.app/profile/dere...
The new episode of "Conspirituality" podcast does a great deep-dive on the murderer and his American Apostolic Reformation ties .(Same 'church' Paula White, Mike Flynn, and many other WHouse staff are tied to..the murderer was an ordained minister for them.)
😡😡😡
Let's not forget the freaking CAR BOMB outside an IVF clinic.
Instead, let’s talk about the Felon in Chief dropping the F-bomb. 🫢 (Clearly, they have not heard LBJ stories.) Though I gotta admit that it was funny how he used the word like a 10 year old cussing for the first time. That’ll show daddy.
Especially lawmakers aren’t safe if they are Democrats. Trump is probably cheering them on.
You're in my prayers, Jess
NONE OF US ARE SAFE! But now that it affects law makers, maybe more important people that can do something people will wake the fuck up??
TRUTH!
If you want to know if you are safe in Donald Trumps America check your bank balance. If you ain't a multimillionaire you ain't safe.
That only counts if you've paid tribute to the King recently.
Even in this day and age… it’s SHOCKING how quickly this story has just been … forgotten
Don't worry they'll increase their protection.
It was out of the news two days after they caught him.
More horrifying than sleeper cells, are white, Christian Nationalist terrorists who are brazen enough to murder state legislators. I loathe how male violence is implicitly normalized in our society.
The entire Republican Party exists to perpetuate and condone and ensure there are never any consequences for this kind of violence. The white nationalist terror threat was the top domestic threat according to the (pre-fascist dictatorship) FBI.
