Whether it’s Donald Trump putting a violent Gestapo in the streets of the United States or Joe Biden putting a Peloton in the White House, both presidents made polarizing decisions

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Same.
if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life
Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

Yeah.. and does anyone know where they are now? Guess murder is just a whoopsie? Maybe they will turn up again in another neighborhood?
Murder. And not just the one who pulled the trigger.
Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Somehow Democratic leaders will see photos like this and think the solution is to “re-train” ICE when the only path forward is to dissolve the entire agency and prosecute the animals inside it

The NYT is a lost soul
The Overton window has fully shifted to “do you deserve to get shot in the face by government agents if you don’t get out of your car when asked?”

We are so lost if this is what the paper of record considers a valid discussion.

This needs more attention
Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

This is a pretty severe escalation from CBS, just straight up lying like this.
BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.

The IVF clinic in New England wanted a $500 non-refundable fee to schedule a 15-minute Zoom call 6 months later.

Amy emailed the clinic in Norway on a Monday. We had an hour-long intake that Thursday. And when we asked how much we owed, they looked at us genuinely puzzled.

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

Exceptional article from @willbunch.bsky.social

This is a must read if you want to save democracy.
In a week when a century happened, from VZ to MN, the biggest story was Trump's vow that nothing can stop him but 'my own morality' and 'my own mind'

But a dictatorship that relies on brute force, alternate truth can be stopped. By our morality. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...
Trump now a tyrant restrained only by ‘my own morality.’ We stop him with our own. | Will Bunch
After a monumental week that changed America, Trump believes there is no limit on his powers. We can prove him wrong.

JD Vance is an insufferable asshole. He just needed to act like a normal politician & say something generic like “There will be a thorough investigation” + “Thoughts and Prayers”
But nope, JD accused Renee Good of being a deranged leftist & domestic terrorist while her lifeless body was still warm🤬

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.
