She was so well spoken. It's heartbreaking because WE ALL feel that same way...we realize that we are on our own & we need to be there for eachother, but our country has let us down & despite that we are still trying to keep it alive until SOMEONE steps in & takes it away from the hands of monsters

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Murder!!!

Holy shit. He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him. His hands were on the pavement when he was shot. He never had his hand on a weapon. Cold blooded murder.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Kirby vs. Duva (from 2008) was a court case that set the precedent that an officer cannot use self-defense as a justification for lethal force when they unreasonably place themselves in harm’s way. Nor is it legal for an officer to shoot a fleeing vehicle for the sole purpose of stopping it.

Look, I do think it's up to private employers to make decisions about whether an employee's public remarks crossed some sort of line. But when government officials are openly cheerleading and pressuring for such firings, that crosses an even more serious line.

So do I have this right: the Extremely Online head of the FBI missed that all the evidence on the bullets were 4chan memes, the suspect's social media is full of groyper memes, and he was only caught because his LEO father taught him how to shoot but not about STFU Friday?

"Bottom line, as long as the movement against him remains non-violent, the movement against him wins." -Maddow He wants violence so that he declare Martial Law. Don't take the bait. Remain non-violent but be unrelenting. It's working. Watch this clip.

Rachel Maddow is right: Trump’s first 100 days have been so toxic, his approval’s in freefall—so now he’s flailing with outrage stunts like “deporting” U.S. citizens. Expect more chaos. But we the people see through it—and we’re ready to fight back. #TheCostOfTrump @maddow.msnbc.com

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY
