I’m married, have a young daughter, and live in St Paul. I wish my city wasn’t covered in ice right now—both kinds.

For anyone not paying attention, we are at the arresting journalists stage of fascism. Arresting journalists. When does it sink in?

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

If you are a journalist who speaks out against the fascist Trump administration I’m sorry to say that it’s time to get your affairs in order. They’re doing a trial run arresting Black journalists right now and it’s only a matter of time until they come for all of us.
Wake up. Speak out.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.
He's got to go.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

You're such a fucking coward, Chris. We don't "rein in" far-right paramilitary death squads. Burn this organization to the ground, arrest its leaders, bar its employees from federal or law enforcement jobs, scatter its component agencies to other departments and build something better.

It's simple: the DHS bill isn't going to pass if its lawlessness isn't reined in.
Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

There are people on the ground right now who are excited to escalate. I talked to them, one said “isn’t it great?”
They don’t care about ICE, the murder, our city. Do not let them control this situation. We are very close to the brink. Observe, protest. Don’t destroy.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

It's always been abolish ICE.
For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.
I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

These are DHS agents not MPD according to their uniforms. What federal crime was the dancing fox reasonably suspected of?
Outside of the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis a person dancing in a fox costume is arrested by the MPD. Protests have been consistent outside of this building since the ramped up ICE presence.
