I am CuTRis

Invading Greenland, taking over Venezuela, attempting to use federal gestapo troops to force the democratic and tough people of Minnesota to follow a demented dictator, destroying the White House to build a giant ballroom, placating Putin, ruining the economy with tarrifs... all of this distraction is to draw attention away from the Epstein files still waiting, a month after the ordered release. The Trump administration does not follow the laws. They know that even the MAGA faithful will distance themselves from a known pedophile. Let's finish this. We know where the Achilles heel is. One rich, convicted felon is not worth the destruction of everything (Renee) Good.

Trump will not allow executions in Iran. But he's okay with executions in Minnesota

There are only 3 reasons left to support Trump. 1. You are obscenely rich. 2. You are racist. 3. You are dumb. Either you are profiting at the expense of others, or you can't get over your own prejudices, or you are too stupid to admit your country is being destroyed by a fascist dictator. There are no other choices that are real.

The footage from the agent's cellphone shows me he walked around the entire vehicle. When he walked in front of it, he dropped his phone while using his gun to murder the driver. The Trump people want me to reject what I saw, and repeat what they tell me. That's not happening.

The wrong picture circulated for the victim of the woman murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. Then, the wrong name for the shooter circulated. There is also a lot of bad AI being posted. This is all dangerous. When those fighting the fascists participate in this garbage, the lies only strengthen the lies of the Trump led murderers. Stick to facts so we can expose the criminal liars.

Playing now at the Trump Center, "Murder Most Foul!"

This was murder by a Federal agent. Trump and Noem say it was self-defense. I also don't see any cars stuck because of inclement weather. It's a typical Minnesota, plowed street. Also, the murderer does not appear to be injured and needing hospital care as we were told. Be advised this video is difficult to watch. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16rxu8x5HT

I guess people are trying to find the appropriate response, which is that no one should get assassinated for political dialogue. However, it almost feels too late for that, and it all goes back to the President and his supporters, who have been preaching violence since way back when Donald Trump was suggesting that Hillary Clinton should be assassinated in 2016. So you can't fault the people who now see the connection between the rhetoric and the actions of a sick country.

This morning, on the news, they reported a need for school resource officers. That struck me as interesting, because a few years ago, there was anger, and people wanted those officers removed from schools. This is proof that dumb exists on both the political left and the political right. A few years ago, George Floyd was in the news and now it's the Annunciation school shooting. Narrow views produce narrow results.

Saying that "prayer is not enough," when children get shot at school, is NOT being, "anti-prayer." It IS being "anti-do-nothing," like those who value living children less than they value guns (or unborn children). It's time to call-out the hypocrisy.

Waking up to the news of two Minnesota politicians and their spouses, all Democrats, being shot in the middle of the night by an assassin dressed as a police officer, has me thinking that the assault on democracy is still progressing- even in light of the "no Kings" protests today. Please remain defiant, and be safe. Obviously, things are very volatile right now. For the past few weeks, I've had a steady stream of 1960s protest music playing inside my head with good reason. It is extremely sad that things have progressed to this point. Or perhaps, I should say regressed.

In my dream I'm packing. It's reminiscent of my time in Boy Scouts packing for camping trips. Only I'm packing for war. I think it's Vietnam. That was the war when I was a little kid. That was what I thought was going to happen when I grew up. It's funny, we don't think about it that much anymore, but Vietnam changed our lives as sure as covid-19. Even my immediate family was indirectly created by that war. My wife's family fled from Laos when she was a small child. Many years later, we met and got married and had our son. But why do I still dream of that fate that never transpired? Why do I still dream about going to war? I suppose it could be that there is a war in the news all the time. Plus, there is a war in our streets as mass shootings have outnumbered the days of the year. There is a war in our government, in our politics, and an attempt to take over our democracy. There are the continued excuses about guns not killing people, that people are killing...

It is terrorism to shoot schoolchildren. It is the extreme of cowardice. For it to continue as it has year after year, shows a lack of (real) concern for our most valuable and most vulnerable citizens. I'm tired of the excuses, because there is no excuse.

I'm not sure that this will ever sink in for those people who love their guns more than life itself. Perhaps if they had to witness the bloody aftermath that those who were first on the scene now have emblazoned into their memories... I'm not sure that would help, but it might be a good place to start. It's too easy to fall back on the stale excuse of taking away the "rights of the good people." If you actually had to witness a class full of elementary school students being gunned down, I think that might change some minds... If it wouldn't, then those people have lost all sense of what is good.

I'd like to send a message to my conservative Republican friends. You know who you are. If you could refrain from posting pictures of "beautiful 20-week-old, unborn children," then I won't have to post photos of 9 and 10-year-old children who are dead and full of holes from an AR-15 Assault Rifle. Your desire to protect the unborn, is overshadowed by your desire for guns that kill the living. Thanks for your understanding.

Seven years ago a guy having a road rage attack, chased my car for several miles while pointing a gun at me. Had I pulled into a dead-end alley rather than a police station parking lot, I might be dead. When the police caught up to the guy, they found the Glock 9mm I had described on the seat of the truck. It had a high-capacity clip. There was also a filet knife in the door of his truck. He told the officer that I was (his words written in the police report) a "raghead from Pakistan." He also had a small amount of marijuana. They released him because he had a permit to carry a gun; and he said he never pulled the gun out. Last year I needed to see a medical specialist. It took two months to get in. After a scan, it took two more months to get in for the follow-up. Fortunately, the doctor said I was okay. But it took four months to find that out. I've been told that we can't have national health insurance in the U.S. because in countries where they do have it, it tak...
