One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
“Please get the truth out about our son.”
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
"He had a gun" is just the latest MAGA variation of "we are allowed to kill you whenever we want."
Because they definitely think they're allowed to carry loaded weapons wherever they like.
He was trying to help someone else they'd knocked to the ground. And for that they started pepper spraying him. And then the pistol whipped him and murdered him.

One former Cigna executive recalled how the US health insurer used to frequently face threats when claims were denied. “We’d have times when you’d deny proton laser therapy for a kid with seizures and the parent would freak out,” said the former executive. Another industry executive said: “What’s most disturbing is the ability of people to hide behind their keyboards and lose their humanity.”
this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional
In recent days, a handful of people on this website have asked me what @tpm.bsky.social is all about. Our publisher is a smart guy named @jragazzo.bsky.social and he answers that question really well here ⤵️
1. As they say, @bsky.app has the juice. Over the last several weeks, we at @tpm.bsky.social gained a lot of followers, some very familiar with TPM. Some less so. For those less familiar with TPM, here’s what we’re all about, a thread. (with a little reward at the very end)
