The list also targeted abortion providers and pro-abortion rights advocates, alongside other lawmakers across several states. Both Hortman and Hoffman were explicitly named, confirming they were deliberate targets in the early morning shootings on June 14.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley described the suspect, now revealed as Vance Boelter, as “clearly impersonating” a police officer, using a convincing uniform and vehicle to execute the attack. Governor Walz condemned the violence as “politically motivated,” noting the manifesto’s focus on progressive leaders. “This is an assault on our values and democracy itself,” Walz said in a statement.

The revelation of the manifesto has heightened fears of escalating political violence, particularly against progressive figures. Authorities have notified all individuals named in the document and increased security measures. The public is urged to remain vigilant and verify the identity of anyone claiming to be law enforcement.

As the manhunt continues, the attack has sparked renewed calls for addressing right-wing extremism and protecting elected officials. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Brooklyn Park Police Department.

 

 

 

BREAKING: The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New York drops a bombshell on Donald Trump by rejecting his desperate request for them to rehear the $5 million E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse case that he lost.

And it gets even worse for this adjudicated rapist...

"E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today’s decision,” her attorney Roberta Kaplan stated. "Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation."

A majority of the judges on the court came together to deliver this defeat. Trump was hoping for an overturning of the civil jury verdict that held him liable for sexually abusing Carroll. That decision also found him liable of defaming her after she went public with her horrifying story about him.

The two judges who dissented in this new ruling were, not surprisingly, appointed by Trump in 2019 during his first presidential term.

The only recourse left now to Trump is the Supreme Court, which may not choose to hear his appeal at all. A MAGA spokesperson has already stated that Trump intends to pursue this final avenue.

This decision from the 2nd Circuit could not come at a worse time for Trump as he is desperately trying to project a persona as a "law and order" president in order to justify his fascist crackdowns against anti-ICE protests.

It's hard to argue that you're upholding the law by targeting undocumented migrants when you yourself are a convicted felon and sexual abuser.

 

THIS WAS ON A FRIEND’S PAGE: An anguished question from a Trump supporter: ‘Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?’

THE SERIOUS ANSWER: Here’s what the majority of anti-Trump voters honestly feel about Trump supporters en masse:

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../trump-university.../502387002/)

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you exclaimed, "He sure knows me." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../president-donald.../4073405002/)

That when you heard him relating a story of an elderly guest of his country club, an 80-year old man, who fell off a stage and hit his head, to Trump replied: “‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I didn’t want to touch him. He was bleeding all over the place. And I felt terrible, because it was a beautiful white marble floor, and now it had changed color. Became very red.” You said, "That's cool!" (https://www.gq.com/story/donald-trump-howard-stern-story)

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw. (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../donald-trump-criticized-after...)

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense." (https://www.usatoday.com/.../what-trump-has.../1501321001/)

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!" (https://www.latimes.com/.../la-na-trump-campaign-protests...)

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!" (https://www.independent.co.uk/.../donald-trump-orders...)

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!" (https://www.theatlantic.com/.../why-cant-trump.../567320/)

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be." (https://www.huffpost.com/.../trump-insult-foreign...)

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!" (https://www.politico.com/.../138-trump-policy-changes...)

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!" (https://www.usnews.com/.../how-is-donald-trump-profiting...)

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was in the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense." (https://www.washingtonpost.com/.../the-very-big-ocean.../)

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “Well, OK then.” (https://www.nbcnews.com/.../more-5-400-children-split...)

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise. (https://www.americanprogress.org/.../confronting-cost.../)

What you don't get, Trump supporters, is that our succumbing to frustration and shaking our heads, thinking of you as stupid, may very well be wrong and unhelpful, but it's also...hear me...charitable.

Because if you're NOT stupid, we must turn to other explanations, and most of them are less flattering.

Law enforcement officers have shot a woman with what appears to be “less lethal” ammunition at close range while she was walking alone near her residence in Los Angeles, new footage shot during the recent protests reveals.

The video, which was taken by another woman and shared on social media, shows the woman walking down a street alone. A line of law enforcement officers appear to tell her to leave the area.

Moments later there is a loud bang as one of the officers appears to fire at the woman, who steps back after being hit and staggers away.

Later she can be heard saying: “I live here.”

The woman who filmed the incident runs to the victim, who is crying, and helps her sit down before moving across the street as the officers continue to shout orders. “They literally just shot her point-blank,” the woman filming says.

The Los Angeles police department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday morning.

“Less than lethal”, “non-lethal” or “less lethal” munitions – such as rubber, plastic or sponge bullets, and pepper balls – are sometimes deployed in the US by law enforcement during protests to disperse crowds. Despite the name, these munitions have caused serious injury and death in the past.

During the current protests in Los Angeles, law enforcement officers have fired flashbangs, teargas and rubber bullets, while other news outlets have also reported the use of pepper balls.

On Sunday, the Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi from Nine News was shot in the leg by a rubber bullet while reporting live from the protests.

In a statement, Nine News said Tomasi was “struck by a rubber bullet” and said that she and her camera operator “are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events”.

“This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information,” the network added.
