This is the kind of fight we need from opposition leaders. Thank you Chicago!
The entire country should be doing what Chicago is doing right now. Everyone should be in the streets. Protesting against ICE! Protesting against our Pedophile and criminal President — ALL OF IT!!

Former FBI official: Tulsi Gabbard should have nothing to do with law enforcement operations whatsoever. She was in a truck with boxes of what are apparently ballots. She is gonna need to be on the chain of custody for those ballots and explain why she was with them and what she was doing.

When @normornstein.bsky.social speaks I pay attention
An impeachment resolution is privileged, brought up on an expedited basis. It has an hour of debate. Votes on each article. They can be indirect – motions to table – but still votes. Two Republicans defecting and the cabinet member’s impeached. Votes against embrace evil. Incl swing district Rs
But if you impeach now with this Congress, won't the effect be zero because the vote won't be there? As with the Trump impeachments.

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.

“They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things.”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

Image claiming to show Renee Nicole Good's car aimed at ICE officer isn't what it seems
Credible videos of the shooting showed the wheels of Good's car were turned away from the agent when she moved forward and he shot her.

Nothing says "justified" like fleeing the scene.
This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”
