AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

We are one year into Trump’s second term, and it has been the most lawless, chaotic, and out-of-control presidency we’ve seen in our generation.

After walking community for #KeithPorter, this photo was received. Reportly Brian Palacios…the racist, sexist, child abusing ICE agent who murdered Keith on New Year’s Day.
May justice be served.
Sign the petition to demand that Palacios be arrested and charged.

Lawrence tells Gen. Allenby, his British superior in Cairo, he executed an Arab ally with his pistol and, “There was something about it I didn’t like.”
Allenby reassures him that his distaste is to be expected.
“No, something else,” Lawrence explains. “I enjoyed it.”

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
