I am working the issue.

Trump's ICE shoots a woman in the face at point blank range and convince their MAGA followers it doesn't matter because it didn't really happen. And even if it did, it's probably her fault and she deserved it. And because of media capture, those gaslit Republicans won't even believe their own eyes.
I mean, ICE does worship a demon, so the sadism comes as no surprise. When you sell your soul to Trump, it takes your humanity away.
"Humiliation of their victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of—let’s call it what it is—sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."
The People Are Turning Against ICE. Will the Politicians Take Notice?
Strongly worded statements will not stop the terrorization of the country.

This is a good idea.
People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Democratic politicians facing frivolous criminal investigations from Trump:

Kat Abughazaleh
Elissa Slotkin
Jason Crow
Tim Walz
Jacob Frey
Letitia James
Lisa Cook
Mark Kelly
Eric Swalwell
Adam Schiff
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

The night before Spanberger’s inauguration

She’s cleared house at UVA

Top Youngkin appointees resign

Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

Instead of investigating the death of Renee Good, Trump wants to investigate Governor Walz & Mayor Frey. Despicable.

This is a clear weaponization of justice against Trump's political rivals & a desperate attempt to distract from ICE's growing brutality & Trump's lawlessness.

Friday night Tequila tweet: Donald Trump is Ukraine’s enemy. He’s NATO’s enemy. He’s the enemy of the free world. In fact, as long as Trump is in the White House, America is the enemy of the free world. What a horrible thing.
Literally begging for help to save civilian lives from being murdered while Trump blames Ukraine, threatens Greenland, plays golf for the next 4 days, and Witkoff and Kushner negotiate deals with Putin.

"ICE operates under authorities granted and defined by Congress. It uses funds appropriated by Congress. So it’s Democrats in Congress who need to do their best to stop it. Which does not mean going on to approve government funding as usual."

Q: Americans for generations have fought and died for democracy. Are you saying the president finds the idea of canceling elections funny?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Welcome to the Revolution
Seeing more and more of these posts from people on the NJ subreddit who say they’ve never been politically active but now asking how to gum up the works.

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social: I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”
