US white evangelicalism is a death cult

Help catch Vance Boelter.

The graphic lays it out quite clearly.

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

They were assassinated

Fuck fuck fuck

Metro Transit is announcing that all B line festivities have been canceled, presumably due to a developing situation in Champlin and Brooklyn Park involving the shooting of two Minnesota state legislators.

Melissa Hortman, key architect of the Minnesota Miracle of feeding kids and protecting women’s rights, has been shot in her home as were her husband and dog. Another democrat, John Hoffman, was also shot in his home. I feel like I’m going to throw up. God help us. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnes...

Absolutely unreal… Absolutely unreal…https://www.twincities.com/2025/06/14/targeted-shootings-champlin-brooklyn-park/

Considering the live question of when we begin to say “assassination attempt”. (and praying that it stays an attempt)

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Frankly, this is ALWAYS a good idea. If there's a cop at the door, call 911, and verify that they're actually a cop, and who they are.

Assuming all B Line events in Saint Paul AND Minneapolis are cancelled. I'm so sorry.

Awful news on a morning that has already had its fair share

METRO B Line opening day festivities have been canceled. Bus and train service will continue as scheduled. The decision to forego these public events was made after receiving reports of an evolving public safety situation. We urge you to rely on the Dept. of Public Safety for the latest updates. ~BG

Pls share, transit folks.

JFC man

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

The assassin also shot Hortman’s dog

Something truly terrible is unfolding in Minnesota right now. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

Preliminary info: www.fox9.com/news/melissa... Rep. Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman shot in 'targeted' shootings: Sources | FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul

This story on the shootings in Brooklyn Park and Champlin is outside the paywall. Our reporters are working to confirm details as quickly as possible. www.startribune.com/brooklyn-par...

That sound you hear? It’s A LOT of people holding their breath.

Gov. Tim Walz said there targeted shootings in both Brooklyn Park and Champlin on Saturday.

FOX 9 confirms two Democratic lawmakers shot. John Hoffman and Melisa Hortman.

Tom Hauser now identifying legislators shot overnight in Minnesota by gunman impersonating a police officer. MNCrime has additional details of what sounds like serious shootings, with one victim going into cardiac arrest on way to hospital. www.mncrime.com/latest/gunma...

It can’t be a coincidence that this happened the morning of a major planned protest. This WILL have a chilling effect, and the terror is the point. This is terrorism. Be safe, be smart, but don’t be discouraged. Come what may, we WILL take our country back from the fascist takeover.

“Suspect is white male, brown hair, wearing black body armor over blue shirt and blue pants and may misrepresent himself as law enforcement.”

Per FOX9: -shooting in Champlin -Shelter In Place ER alert in Brooklyn Park Not confirmed: any victims’ names, shooter not apprehended yet

Our streets should look like this more often.
