Abolish ICE. Then Schumer. Or Schumer first, whatever, NY needs some good representation.

I wonder if Elon is up for listening to old gutter punk songs. He likes to think he's "punk," right?

For no particular reason, I'm reminded of this favorite song from my youth.

Renée Good and Alex Pretti did not die in vain. They gave their lives for the liberation of their fellow Americans—much like others who died in nonviolent campaigns in our history.

We will honor their sacrifices by continuing their fight until we win.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.

people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

ICE is being used as a weapon. An unaccountable secret police, the attack dog for an out of control president.

Take away the weapon, senator. Use the power of the purse to stop this, or have your name listed in history as one of the Neville Chamberlains of this pivotal moment.

If what?

The lawlessness is coming from the top. DHS is being used as a weapon. Take away the weapon, senator. This isn't a "reform" situation, it's a "president's private police force with few norms/rules, staffed with border patrol folks used to exercising authority with impunity" situation.

Van Hollen has been solid on this. Hope he runs in 2028, has my support if he does.

"We must sacrifice for it [freedom]"

True, and inadvertently prophetic. May this also serve as his (and Renee's) legacy.

...as prelude for prosecution for her role in directing this crime spree by ICE & DHS?

Fair enough, thank you for clarifying. I understand and share your frustration at the folks in my country who are doing nothing, or worse, who approve of this.

That isn't true. I certainly didn't- I organized against him.

Ma'am, people are fighting back. One of those people was shot and killed today.

Perhaps to you it seems like it is only in Minneapolis. It is not. We need to protect our communities.

It would be more effective for you to call on your government to boycott US World Cup games.

Put up or shut up. Organize your caucus to block the ICE funding bill or get out of leadership for someone who will.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

End the sentence at "why we shouldn't fund DHS" the rest is fantasy.

So much this. Have started and stopped several posts because no fedposting. Need a gif of those lawyers saying "stfu".

Worth reading through. Solidarity with the people of Minnesota ✊️✊️
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I'm seeing lots of people debating if Dems should focus more on ICE, more on affordability, etc.

Do this. This message got to my sister, who's not following this stuff closely, and it made her angry
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Thank you for stepping forward, senator.

The party needs to step with you. Please continue to speak up- Kilmar and now.
