The Violence Is The Point
Over the weekend, Minnesota representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their homes, and Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were shot and wounded, by a masked man impersonating a police officer. What ensued was the largest manhunt in state history. This is a foreseeable outcome in a fascist state full of politicians that promote violence at every turn.

Stephen Miller Is A Creep
Apparently journalists are getting fired for saying mean things about Stephen Miller, so let me try my hand at it. Now that this creep is running things, we're stuck with the putrid ideology that's spreading hate and disinformation while ruining the lives of immigrants across the country. All because of this guy's fragile ego. Yikes.

Habeas Corpus Has Already Been Suspended For Some
When habeas corpus, the right to challenge your detention, is suspended for some of us, that creates an opening for the writ to slowly be denied to more and more of us. While Stephen Miller announces that the Trump administration is "looking into it" and Kristi Noem can't seem to define it, we are all left to watch as the writ is blatantly eroded, despite judicial rulings and precedent.
