I will be blocking anyone who says ICE murders could be avoided if people complied or stayed home.
Fuck off.
They're prepping for door to door violence The next step is murdering people IN THEIR HOMES.
I'm not here to communicate with anyone who blames people for getting murdered.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

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.

The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

This happened to DC, too. Most Americans don’t realize that more than 2.7K National Guard are currently deployed here & more are on the way (from Alaska). When I was in MN, it’s all I could tell anyone because it was nowhere in the news until a couple of them were shot in November. Tell everyone

On BlueSky, I see people who want Americans to believe that because Biden, Obama, and others did not end racism in America, they are no different than Trump, who actively encourages racist rhetoric and racist policies.
Don't fall for their lies. There is a difference, and it is worth fighting for.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Yup. We have no real proof even at this point that Maduro is really in US custody - or even alive. If we should have learned anything over the last 10 years, don’t believe a word that comes out of the Trump White House.

While the real clip does appear to be genuine, this specific version has been manipulated using Grok to add dramatic explosions and strikes.
