And unicorns are real
At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.
The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.
Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.
About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.
This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
the man can be seen holding a phone and approaching a woman who was shoved, when an officer throws him to the ground. at no point is the man seen approaching officers while holding a gun.

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”
He watched an ICE agent cross the street to push a woman to the ground and tried to stand up for basic decency. After being pepper sprayed by that same agent he still tried to see if she was okay. And now he is dead.
I have never felt so gaslit as I have by going back and forth with Vacasa Rentals. And as I am an almost 50 year old woman so that is saying something.

No doubt Trump + his allies are going to try to call the race early in their favor.
And if it doesn’t go their way, they will claim fraud (like they already have).
Our elections are secure—don’t let them distract you.
I had my first election dream last night. I was at a last minute rally for @crystal_quade. So I am taking that as a sign that it’s crystal clear that the future is inclusive. #Roevember #LFGMO

I've worked with childcare providers from across the state to help keep them open and running. Mike Kehoe has taken hundreds of thousands from the founder of the company screwing Missouri childcare facilities.
You deserve better.

Anyone else notice that the media keeps 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 the bar for Kamala Harris while 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 the bar for Donald Trump? 🤨
