🧾 What’s Unfolding in Minneapolis and Minnesota
1. Multiple fatal shootings by federal agents
Two U.S. citizens — Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti — have been killed in recent weeks by federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis during aggressive operations. Both deaths sparked protests and public outrage. Local officials and families have contested federal accounts of the incidents, including claims about the circumstances that led to the use of lethal force.
2. Legal and public pushback
Minnesota officials have taken legal action to challenge the federal deployment and to preserve evidence associated with the shootings, amid hearings and lawsuits aimed at curbing the large federal immigration surge called Operation Metro Surge.
3. National and local criticism
Governors, unions, corporate leaders, and civil rights advocates have publicly condemned the enforcement actions, calling for withdrawal of federal agents and greater accountability around use of force — with some labeling the situation a danger to community safety.
4. Debate over tactics and training
Reports suggest that how ICE agents are trained and how they use force is now part of a national discussion, especially as videos and witness accounts are shared more widely.
Monday’s OFF DECK Blurt | No Agenda, Just Noticing
Lately it feels like the scripts being handed to Trump are written for a different brain than the one reading them.
Big words. Bigger threats. Smaller attention span.
What comes through isn’t policy. It’s posture.
Not governance, but vibes wearing a flag.
The pattern looks familiar:
declare wins and losses loudly, repeat them often,
keep everyone busy counting points while the house changes hands.
Critical thinking doesn’t get banned anymore.
It just gets buried under costumes, slogans, and noise.
Gods. Guns. Markets. Fear.
Same ingredients, different packaging.
Sometimes it feels like a bank-heist movie
where the thieves walk out with the crowd,
and no one’s sure who grabbed the vault
until the doors won’t open again.
I don’t know what God has to do with any of this.
I do know Congress keeps trading stocks
in industries they swear they’re “just worried about.”
Maybe red and blue aren’t teams anymore.
Maybe they’re jerseys for the same owners.
No conclusion today.
Just logging the feeling
that oversight is thinning,
noise is rising,
and the cameras are pointed everywhere except the hands.
Worth asking whether end-of-the-world thinking is solving anything,
or just selling fear faster than facts.
