Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

That’s complete unadulterated bullshit

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime. Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

brennancenter.orgDebunking the Myth of the ‘Migrant Crime Wave’Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants.

Everything Trump is doing now (from from Portland to Minneapolis to Chicago) is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but I've been warning for months of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Mayor Frey on Republicans feigning outrage for him telling ICE to get the fuck out: "I'm so sorry that I offended their Disney princess ears. When you compare the inflammatory nature of dropping an f-bomb to killing somebody, which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with killing somebody."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.
