Governor Walz has recommended that we cancel No Kings events across Minnesota because the individual who assassinated a Democratic lawmaker is still at large. For the safety of all involved, we are cancelling events across the state that are not already underway.

Right now the MAGA media audience can’t decide whether to falsely blame it on the left or celebrate it as a victory against the left. It’s deeply unnerving, the open blood lust.

Within weeks of taking control of the legislature, half-a-year after Dobbs, Minnesota Democrats in 2023 pushed through legislation to enshrine the right to access abortion.

Perhaps most famously—in that it became more of a national story when Walz ran for VP last fall—Minnesota made school meals free.
Here's the House writing about it when it passed it:

Today, two (Dem) state legislator objects of assass attempt by man in police uniform w/ police car. One and spouse killed, others wounded.
This has not happened before. Hate speech from hate-filled *leaders* matters.
Lincoln invoked 'better angels'
Trump incites the darkest and worst.

I get we all want answers immediately but please, if you’re thousands of miles away, understand that your desire to know what’s going on does not override actual on the ground reasons to keep information concealed for now, nor does it mean there’s some conspiracy.

UPDATE: The Minnesota State Patrol is urging people not to attend today’s "No Kings" demonstrations across the state. The authorities said that fliers for the “No Kings” events were found in the vehicle of the suspect, who remains at large.

Which again makes me think that they got bad orders/guidance.
4. This could really escalate over the wknd w/ the planned protests tomorrow. If they really are operating with instructions that permit civ LE functions, we’re going to see a lot of detentions. This needs to be cleared up ASAP. 6/6

3. The fact that the case isn’t even ambiguous when it comes to threat of violence or disorder is especially bad. The Standing Rules for the Use of Force authorize force in very limited situations… a dude trying to get into his office doesn’t come close to qualifying. 5/

2. THIS WHY THE MARINES SHOULDN’T BE THERE. We still don’t have an explanation of the legal authorities the admin is using to deploy the Marines; 10 USC 12406 only applies to the *GUARD.* Involving the Marines is not just superfluous but creates MORE, not less, confusion. 3/

They have hundreds of SWAT, FBI, and police looking for persons of interest. They found a manifesto in the vehicle that “identified targets” on a “list of individuals” including the people shot. They will not confirm who else was on the target list publicly right now.

On the same day it’s leading to mass protests in the streets!
But no doubt way more critical is the pressure from said President’s most important supporters (business owners/employers), who are finally suffering enough from these policies to speak out. So much to unpack here. “Shift in focus” smh
