Impeach Trump!
Impeachment is the tool that the Constitution provides. Charge all his abuses of power. And especially charge bribery, because the Constitution calls out bribery, specifically, as grounds for impeachment and conviction.

I do. I do blame all Republicans.
It’s time to start blaming all Republicans not just Trump. Trump could not do anything without them.

Garcia, up again, ends by holding up a photo of Stephen Miller and says:
"There is probably no single person who has done more damage and more harm to people across this country...than this man right here. It's our job...to hold him responsible for the crimes that are happening to U.S. citizens."

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.
Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

ICE just murdered another US citizen in Minneapolis. Murder and mayhem is what Trump and Stephen Miller want. It’s the reason they’ve sent their Gestapo to the city. It’s the reason they’ve been assaulting and detaining citizens and legal aliens.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Shut down ICE.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

NEW — DHS just posted this as an apparent explanation for why they arrested an elderly US citizen with no criminal record (it's a quote post of a post about ChongLy Thao's arrest.) The implication seems to be that all Asian men look the same, and it's not their fault they mistook one for another.
