Now some of those woods off the Echo Trail near Ely are burning, raising the question of whether any of the forest fires blazing in Northeast Minnesota could have been blunted by allowing the previously approved plan to move forward.

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Absolutely embarrassing state of politics in the US that a mayor is a titan among men because he is willing to say that war criminals aren’t welcome in his city. Every governor should be echoing this message and every dem who wants reelection should be too.

The fatal shooting of an immigrant in Maine has renewed concerns about the Trump administration’s push to quickly hire officers for mass deportations, after a woman said her abusive ex-husband told her he was the officer who fired his gun.

ICE officer’s troubled past renews questions about vetting

Ashley Brouillette said her former spouse, David Brouillette, told her he is the ICE officer who shot and killed an immigrant in Maine. She and others said Brouillette has a volatile history.

"A government that conceals its identity cannot demand perfect recognition from frightened civilians," writes @jamilsmith.bsky.social. "ICE mistook Lorenzo Salgado Araujo for another man. He was expected to identify ICE instantly. Only one side was allowed to make an error."

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is dead. How long will ICE be allowed to hide its face? | Jamil Smith

A government that demands instant obedience while concealing its identity cannot expect trust – or escape responsibility for the consequences

Michigan, we have the opportunity to send a simple, crystal clear message to America that we cannot and will not continue to fund genocide. We can change the course of history. Thank you, @rokhanna.bsky.social, for your courage and steadfast values of humanity, dignity, and peace for all.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

It's not radical to believe everybody in the richest country in the world should have healthcare. It's not radical to believe we shouldn't send our money abroad to bomb people when we need money for our schools here. It's not radical to believe corporations shouldn't be able to buy politicians.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

Minnesotans if you want a Senator who won’t lick ICE’s boots after they kill your neighbors you should vote for Peggy Flanagan on August 11

To date, immigration officials have shot and killed 11 people, including two Minnesotans. Across the country, they operate with no respect for human life, the law, or consequences. There's no reforming this agency. Rip it apart.

The White House launched 25 Freedom Fuel gas stations, all selling fuel at $3.47 a gallon.

Secretive dark money groups have already spent more than $12 million trying to buy this Senate seat for my opponent. Minnesotans deserve transparency about the real funders behind these ads. Minnesotans are not naive, and Congresswoman Craig shouldn't treat them like they are.

We're putting the many over the monied interests who want to buy this seat. If you believe that this Senate seat isn't for sale, I hope you'll join @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social and me for a rally in Saint Paul on July 24. www.mobilize.us/peggyflanaga...

I think it’s cool that taking us back a hundred years on the racism front isn’t enough for these freaks. They want to take it back a thousand years where the Normans don’t count as white.
