The head of Minnesota’s state investigations agency said Thursday that the U.S. attorney’s office has barred it from taking part in the investigation into an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman.

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said in a statement that after the agency consulted with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the U.S. attorney’s office and the FBI following the Wednesday shooting of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Macklin Good, “it was decided that the BCA Force Investigations Unit would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI” and that the “BCA responded promptly to the scene and began coordinating investigative work in good faith.

He said the FBI informed the BCA later Wednesday that the U.S. attorney’s office had changed the plan.

    They know midterms are coming and they need to get to the full dictator plan before then. Sure, they could just steal the vote like they probably did in 2024, but it appears they are going all the way. When that happens, all of this pretending that the courts can stop him, that the media matters anymore, that he is still beholden to some tiny facet of constitutinality will be 100% gone.

    Then we will have to make the decision that was always coming for us. Liberal democracy was never going to save us, no organization or institution would ever challenge capitalism and the status quo to actually make a difference. Because that’s what this is. This is the rich getting tired of pretending to be “woke” and pro-democracy and just going mask off for the sake of total wealth accumulation and control. Fascism is simply outward imperialism coming home and affecting the denizens of the “core” so to speak. But of course that outward imperialism doesn’t stop, see Venezuela, Columbia, Greenland, Cuba, Panama, Canada, and Mexico.

      My theory on this is that Donny is trying to cause as much chaos in Central and South America, eventually most if not all countries will unite against him and eventually there is a possibility of a South American Isis, forming regardless of their intentions. Trump will use that to declare war on everyone south of the border, and he will use that to justify canceling the midterms as well as suspending the election in 2028 to stay in power forever.

      Oh, please, what the fuck are you on about? Don’t take pages out of their playbook, it never ends well.
