Jacob Soboroff is doing a great job investigating and debunking the claims that ICE is making about their arrests targeted worst of the worst

Congress can help reign in ICE- IF we get a Democratic majority. That will be more likely if California passes Proposition 50. #YesOnProp50

Saturday will be electric. Shoulder-to-shoulder...signs high...voices ready: No Kings. No Fear. This country bows to the Constitution, not a crown.

That protest is the ONLY thing dominating his mind. He knows it will show how UN-popular he is. To a narcissist...that's humiliating, and that is pain.

For what? To create chaos and fear. To create conflict where there is none, then claim it’s necessary to crack down. Disgraceful thuggery.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

Donald Trump is bragging that "This will be the longest government shutdown ever."

Fuck Donald Trump. He will NEVER break the will of democracy defending Americans. Take pride in that...and make Goddamned sure you're part of making sure that remains our reality.

The rule of law means future accountability must always remain possible. DHS is implying that accountability itself is illegitimate - a stunning rejection of democratic norms.

It is a very short step from the military killing alleged drug traffickers off the coast of Venezuela to the military, ICE, or others killing people inside the US for crimes, real or imagined, as directed by the president.

Just trying to imagine what Republicans would’ve done if, say, the head of the California Democratic Party were accused of rape, while one of the state’s Democratic congressmen has his career ended by sex trafficking allegations and a second juggled multiple allegations of sexual harassment.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Pointing out hypocrisy is a waste of time and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s happening and what’s at stake. Fascism is not concerned with logical consistency or argument.

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.
