In America, stopping for gas can get you murdered by ICE in front of a jury of your peers. The media is failing us. They are beholden to fascism. Warning: this is disturbing footage out of St. Paul. #releasetheepsteinfiles

Hakeem Jeffries “a time, place and manner of our choosing” is basically Trump’s “two weeks.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

"“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters when asked about holding the Trump administration accountable."

Reminder that the Trump-Republican Big Ugly Bill funneled $170B towards immigration enforcement and made ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the country. Here's what else you should know about it as the midterms approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hbwm7LrKW0

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Must keep posting this. ICE has contracted with the successor to the mercenary firm Blackwater. As one keen follower pointed out: We have private military mercenaries operating on US soil.

ICE has awarded a contract to Constellis Holdings, the successor to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater. The contract is for "skip tracing" to hunt down 1.5 million immigrants—and offering bounties for their locations. Using whatever surveillance tools they want—no badges, no oversight.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

A reminder:

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do. The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Trump and administration are the domestic terrorists. Destroying our standing on the world stage, removing USAID and Dept. of ED, stealing funding, invading our cities, unqualified people running gov't dept's, invading our cities, killing citizens and making false statements on a daily basis.

Sound familiar? U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents shot and wounded two people in Portland during a targeted vehicle stop. The agents claimed they acted in self-defense when the driver attempted to run them over. The incident is under investigation by the FBI www.the-sun.com/news/1575435...

Residents surrounding the ICE agents calling them murderers and saying "You can't kill us all, Nazis." I feel their pain deeply.

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

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.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /
