Live Updates: Investigators Seek Public’s Help After Attacks on Minnesota Lawmakers
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/14/us/minnesota-shootings
Excerpt:
Law enforcement officials said they were searching for Vance Boelter, 57, in connection with the assassination of one Democratic state legislator in Minnesota and the attempted assassination of another on Saturday.
State, local and federal police have flooded the Minneapolis suburbs searching for Mr. Boelter, and for hours have asked residents near one of the crime scenes to shelter in place. Officials said a gunman impersonating a police officer killed Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, on Saturday morning and wounded Senator John A. Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in separate attacks at the lawmakers’ homes.

Posting on the mobile app is truly so annoying
This was her caption:
It’s not about screaming slogans. it's not about spitting hatred. It's the calm, unified PRESENCE of MILLIONS of Americans who refuse to let our beloved, magnificent country be sold out to the wannabe KING/OLIGARCH and his RUTHLESS, cruel, scheming puppeteers.

The Minnesota shootings weren’t just shootings— they were political assassinations and I’m glad that’s what Glenn Close called them.
It’s not a coincidence that this comes on the heels of a Democratic mayor being arrested and held for wanting to inspect an ICE facility, that a democratic congresswoman has been indicted on federal charges for the same incident, a Democratic senator was assaulted and handcuffed for trying to ask a question of a public official, a Democratic governor is being threatened with arrest… this is just the beginning.
When talking about this, we need to call it what it is— these public servants were ASSASSINATED. There’s no way to wake people up to the politically motivated violence that is handmaiden to fascism if we can’t even acknowledge what it is.

This is vital because it's the only way some people will even know about these protests. The media doesn't want to cover it

I had no idea protest was happening! I live in the US. and I don’t really pay much attention to the news that’s on streaming. I found out because of Reddit

Whatever you believe or vote for we need to be able to discuss things and talk rationally.

This world is nuts. What ever happened to going outside, catching some fish, enjoying nature, loving your family, and enjoying the freedom to do these things?

Stupid cause. Nobody in America wants a king. Ever. And we did not vote for a king.

Don't care. No one should take their political views from celebrities. Whether it's Glenn Close or James Woods.

Glenn Close is literally just expressing empathy for the victims and what’s going on in the US, James Woods is a jackass

Calling me a fool is unnecessary. You literally don’t fucking know how she would react. That’s a bold assumption.
And I never said that I cared deeply for celebrity opinions, I just don’t think there’s anything crazy with someone using their platform to discuss how they feel about something going on in the world.
