Americans expect that their responsible government officials, especially in senior positions such as yours, will share facts, not speculation.
Sadly, there seem to be two versions of events.

federal law enforcement officers were seeking, then the legitimate reasons for federal law enforcement officers to be seeking those strangers have nothing to do with this person.
Federal law enforcement officers should treat everyone with dignity and respect.
Thank you.

PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE FROM THE PSYCHOPATH
Building a case for the protection of the vulnerable requires a dual-track strategy. While we engage in the slow, generational work of cultural and religious reform,
Building a case for the protection of the vulnerable requires a dual-track strategy. While we engage in the slow, generational work of cultural and religious reform,
we must simultaneously implement rigorous structural defenses to neutralize the "Dark Triad" personalities (psychopaths, narcissists, and Machiavellians) who exploit these systems to inflict harm.
If we only focus on changing hearts and minds, we leave the door open for those who have no heart and a predatory mind.

A CALL TO COURAGE
Looking at the Foundation of our Humanity
In our search for a more just and compassionate world, we often focus on the large-scale conflicts of the "outside" world—geopolitics, economic shifts, and social upheavals.
Looking at the Foundation of our Humanity
In our search for a more just and compassionate world, we often focus on the large-scale conflicts of the "outside" world—geopolitics, economic shifts, and social upheavals.
Yet, there is a foundational area of human experience that remains shrouded in silence, protected by the heavy veils of "tradition," "routine," and "necessity."
To truly evolve as a species, we must find the courage to look inward and downward

Don Lemon did his best to perfect the case against the protesters in the Minneapolis Church as targeting the congregants over their faith. In what sounds like a pitch for prosecution under the FACE Act, Lemon zeroed in on the religious values of the congregants in a new tirade...
...The former CNN host dismissed criticism for storming a church gathering, explaining "I think people who are, you know, in the religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled, and that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a White supremacy"...
...This follows organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who leads the local Racial Justice Network, is declaring that the churchgoers "need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts.”...
If you've read this and are curious at all allow me to give you a QRD of elephant attacks in India and elephant sociology in general:
As you can imagine with how they treat their "holiest river" despite their direct relation to the god Ganesh (see attached Eldritch horror) and being revered for their symbolization of wisdom, Indians treat them like shit.
Maybe not literal shit. Since apparently that's the only religious symbol they actually respect.

Elephants that are "domesticated" and treated "well" (used for religious ceremonies as opposed to strictly labor) often have a point where they snap. Fed up with being thwacked with sticks or perhaps just finally losing it from the smell of urban India this is the usual result:
When Empires Decline
History rarely lets us pin imperial decline to one man. But at the pace of American devolution, Trump’s name will likely be etched into the story,perhaps in faux gold.
The fall of empires follows patterns. What differs is how people respond to lost status.🧵

Some societies accept decline with realism & adapt.
Others suffer a kind of phantom limb syndrome, lashing out at a world that no longer bends to them. The Aztecs fell to Spanish power with resentment. Faced with diminishment its leaders chose destruction over accommodation. 2/5

After Appomattox, the American South followed similarly. Rather than rebuild, it invented the Lost Cause—turning defeat into myth & grievance into identity. Preserving hierarchy mattered more than prosperity.The result was a century of poverty,violence,& arrested development. 3/5
Most people fail at SEO because they're optimizing for Google instead of humans. This single mistake costs businesses millions in lost traffic every year. The irony? Google's algorithm is literally designed to reward content that serves people first.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: keyword stuffing, over-optimization, and chasing algorithm hacks create content that ranks temporarily but converts poorly. When you write for robots, you end up with robotic content that real humans scroll past. Google's AI can detect this disconnect faster than ever before.

When you write for robots, you end up with robotic content that real humans scroll past. Google's AI can detect this disconnect faster than ever before.
The problem starts with how most people approach keyword research. They find high-volume keywords and force them unnaturally into every paragraph, header, and meta tag. This creates awkward, repetitive content that screams "I'm trying too hard to rank." Readers sense this immediately and bounce.
Think about the last time you searched for something important. You didn't want keyword-dense fluff, you wanted a clear answer to your specific question. You wanted expertise, nuance, and actionable insights. That's exactly what Google's ranking algorithm prioritizes now.

The search intent mismatch is where most SEO strategies collapse. Someone searching "best running shoes" might want reviews, comparisons, or buying guides depending on their stage in the buyer journey. If you optimize a product page for this term when they want educational content, your bounce rate skyrockets and rankings plummet.
Google's Page Experience update and subsequent algorithm changes have made user behavior the ultimate ranking signal. Dwell time, bounce rate, click-through rate, and engagement metrics matter more than ever. You can't game these metrics with technical tricks; you need genuinely valuable content.

One of the protesters who took over a church service and screamed "shut it down" works for Minneapolis's local prosecutor, is married to a St. Paul councilwoman, is running for state Senate, and runs HOMES FOR HOMIES taking Section 8 money and steering it to black criminals.
Don Lemon interviewed Jamael Lundy from the crowd at random and asked him about how the crowd was "grassroots." But Lundy is the Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, handling the prosecutor's communications with federal officials.
@HarmeetKDhillon is already investigating Moriarty for taking "racial identity" into account when making charging decisions, and HUD is investigating Minneapolis for giving minorities preference when it comes to housing subsidies. Lundy is involved in both.
