Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kidsโ€™ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Hochul, Ro Khanna, Pat Ryan calling on impeachment of Kristi Noem. MAKE Trump fire her ... and then demand he fire Stephen Miller who dreamed this whole thing up

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Iโ€™m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, โ€œRepublicans will tell you behind closed doors that they donโ€™t agree with what ICE is doingโ€. Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists. Name them, record them, and make it public.

And he didnโ€™t. He tried to help a woman whoโ€™d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weโ€™d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump โ€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). Thatโ€™s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

We need Democrats who are willing to put their bodies and reputations on the line and understand this fucking moment. If you have the power, prosecute them. If you donโ€™t yet, make that your mission until itโ€™s done. I know itโ€™s mine. This isnโ€™t a drill. This is an emergency. Act like it.

Itโ€™s not enough to say Abolish ICE. Itโ€™s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. Itโ€™s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words. If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, Iโ€™m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 โ€” not with lies, but with votes. Again.

Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

There's little downside for Virginia Dems going for 10-1 over 9-2. On my 10-1 map below, Kamala Harris & Jay Jones won 9 seats by โ‰ฅ10 points, & McAullife won all 9 in 2021. The swing seat was Harris+3. On my 9-2 map, 1 of those blue seats becomes safe red, but the swing seat becomes just Harris+4

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social

Punchbowl News reports that Virginia's legislative Democratic leaders really want to go for a 10-1 map, but that Spanberger and D.C. Dems prefer a 9-2 one. (The map is currently 6-5; the gerrymander is contingent on a constitutional amendment passing via referendum.) punchbowl.news/article/camp...

Right. The point is not โ€œit matters extra because itโ€™s a citizen,โ€ the point is โ€œwe either hang together or we will all hang separately.โ€

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Yearโ€™s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

The protests will grow. All it takes is a spark. 6 years ago it was the murder of George Floyd, caught on camera, just a mile from where this happened. Now it's ICE murdering Renee Good. Both times, MAGA and Trump sided with the murderer. Enough. We have the numbers.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

This is Renee Good. She was a mother of a six-year-old child. She was an American citizen. She described herself as a โ€œpoet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.โ€ And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trumpโ€™s ICE agents.

We stand with Minneapolis. Arrest, investigate, and ICE get the fuck out.

We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.

Newsom should absolutely call the special election under the new lines. It's the map adopted by the people of California, and on top of being democratically defensible, it's the kind of hardball that DeSantis or Abbott would obviously pull in the converse scenario.
