This was not random — it was a calculated act of political terror. House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were severely wounded. The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, left behind a hit list, escape plan, weapons cache, and a political motive. He must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law — in Minnesota, where his crimes were committed. Boelter maintained a far-right worldview, blending Christian nationalism, anti-government ideology, and authoritarian reverence for policing and violence. Like other far-right terrorists, Boelter didn’t act alone in his beliefs — he acted on a political vision that is being stoked by powerful figures nationwide. We cannot allow this case to be quietly absorbed into the federal system where future presidential pardons may interfere with justice. State-level prosecution offers the most direct path to accountability, transparency, and democratic control. This isn’t just about one man — it’s about protecting our communities, our representatives, and our democracy from politically motivated violence. We call on Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to classify this as terrorism, and prosecute it as such under state law. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/charge-vance-boelter-with-terrorism-demand-state-accountability
