They should have been arrested.
ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus.
This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

Corporations and ultra-rich individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own bottom lines.
When billionaire conglomerates take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

If Paramount is allowed to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, the conservative billionaire Ellison family will control:
Paramount Studios
CBS
CNN
MTV
HBO
Comedy Central
Nickelodeon
Cartoon Network
Warner Bros.
DC Studios
Fandango
New Line Cinema
TNT Sports
TBS
Oracle
And more.

This is nothing short of mandatory right wing indoctrination at Texas high schools & colleges. Wow.
The Texas GOP orders that the TurningPoint USA Trump youth organization will be obligatory at all high schools and colleges in the Lone Star State.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools
Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, there is an instantaneous order from 🍊💩 for US flags half staff but when a National Guardsman who was illegally ordered to DC dies from being shot, there is no such order? Abysmal but yet not shocking. Ask your military friends and family how they feel about this.

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this.
We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.
