The Fox News chyron reads "Latest Dem hoax" at the same time that Brendan Carr confirms that yes, the FCC would've "enforced the law" and gone after CBS had Colbert aired his interview with Talarico on TV

Just to let you all know, the reason I haven't yet donated money to our wonderful Democratic candidates is because I DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE ANY MORE EMAILS AND TEXTS THAN I AM ALREADY RECEIVING. There's a good reason people hand over paper bags full of cash.

ACLU of Minnesota's executive director Deepinder Mayell testified before Congress this week with a first-hand account of federal agents' lawless attacks on our rights and communities. Demand that Congress rein in DHS' abuses at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

If you didn't catch this segment of @maddow.bsky.social's tonight, I recommend you watch the whole thing. We're seeing both utterly sadistic mass scale horror alongside incredibly inspiring mass displays of humanity. The regime is weak. The people will win.

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE. It ISN'T a done deal. Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet. That's the way this shit works. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

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 — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Someone needs to march right into federal court and sue ICE for this policy. Labeling someone a "domestic terrorist" and putting them on a government list is a violation of due process as well as the 1st Amendment.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

This is very important.

Under this Administration, ICE has created chaos in communities across the country and used deadly force against Americans. That's unacceptable. Ruben Gallego and I have a bill to set clear standards for the use of force and make sure ICE is accountable to the people they serve.

The Trump administration’s abuse of sensitive databases for immigration enforcement purposes has been a go-to intimidation tactic to serve their mass detention and deportation agenda. But sharing data on our veterans is a disgraceful abuse even for an administration hellbent on spreading fear.

I'm a hell yes on impeaching Kristi Noem. Under Noem's leadership, DHS has flagrantly violated the law to terrorize immigrant communities and U.S. citizens in LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, and beyond. Enough of the terror. Enough of Kristi's corruption. Impeachment NOW.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.gov

I officially introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem, who’s broken our Constitution as she unleashed her rogue agents across the country. Secretary Noem: the American people are watching you. And we are outraged. I will hold you accountable.

challenge the FBI's assertion of sole jurisdiction in court; this is a state crime

Millions of people across America are watching the videos of an ICE agent shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and they know that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are LYING. We can see what happened with our own eyes. We won’t believe their propaganda.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

We should not have tolerated Trump's Gestapo tactics in the streets of America for one minute.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social

Every damn Democratic congressperson should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol and demanding an end to this deadly abuse. Are they really unable to fight back against this despicable propaganda used to justify the killing by ICE and supported by Noem and Trump?

JB is right. I don't know why we have tolerated Gestapo tactics in the streets of America. People who love the Constitution need to insist Kristi Noem must go now. She is a monster and I'm not just talking about her appearance.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

Kristi Noem should not be be impeached, part of the investigation into the murder of Renee Good needs to focus on whether Noem authorized ICE to shoot legal observers on pretext.

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence. Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

Impeach Kristi Noem.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

t.elyn arnold reposted

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

t.elyn arnold reposted

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”
