Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

If I were to create a plan where my ultimate goal was the collapse of the US economy and take us out as the leading global superpower, it would look a lot like our current trajectory.

There’s just no world where we lose representation, isolate ourselves, increase poverty, create a right wing oligarchy, shrink the middle class, completely divest in various aspects of diplomacy, science, and education, and still have the ability to influence the world in a positive way.

The brain drain will be real as the rest of the world reacts to us as an ever increasing threat. This doesn’t bode well for US tech companies. I imagine we’ll see an increase in EU alternatives, maybe even using government grants to make solutions available as OSS.

at some point I think it might be nice if we developed a cultural immunity to treating the random, unimportant outbursts of attention-seeking dullards as news

Emerging from his viewing of the UNRELEASED Epstein case files at Justice Dept, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says: "The Dept of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for months... trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug"

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Corruption, plain and simple. Steve Witkoff, David Sacks, and Howard Lutnick must testify in front of Congress. And Congress needs to grow a spine and put a stop to Trump’s crypto corruption.

WATCH - “You SHOULD sue!” @LindseyGrahamSC pathetically defends Trump’s attempt to steal $10 Billion from taxpayers. (Because he’s trying to do the same thing over the 1/6 investigation)

Technically Elon is right, because the article speculated about a trip to Epstein's island in December 2014 when the emails show he went in December 2013. You know, five years after Epstein pleaded guilty to charges of procuring a child for prostitution.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Don Lemon has been taken into custody after anti-ICE confrontation in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month. https://cnn.it/4roAO6t

Dear Democrats: stop trying to compromise. It’s not working. Grow a spine, say fuck it, and take a stand. Don’t vote for ANYTHING. You need to bring this whole damn thing to a grinding halt.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

The EU has the ability to go after Trump personally - his properties, his access to the EU, etc. His business is a massive Achilles' heel and I'm surprised they haven't said something about seizing his properties.

Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019. Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

Trump is openly waging war on the entire constitution and these fucking losers are still whining about a slogan people chanted for six months 6 years ago.

what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS

Heard from a public school staffer. ICE agents follow school buses on their afternoon routes & target some parents picking up kids from bus stops. If ICE knew anything abt particular parents, they'd go to homes. Seems they're just leveraging kids' vulnerability & mixing with racial profiling.

Jon Haddad reposted

You cannot reform this. Abolish ICE and defund every line item for the job and equipment of every agent from every agency who collaborates with them.

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

Local cops working for ICE? Fire them, remove their jobs from the budget, melt down their equipment, and give the money to public libraries. If you were working for ICE, I guess you weren't necessary and your job should be eliminated.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
