I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

I think it is important that Greg Bovino, personally, is prosecuted for what he has done and continues to do in service of all of this
Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

Thanks so much for voting to send Americans' hard-earned tax dollars to the agency that is currently in the streets of American cities terrorizing, kidnapping, assaulting and murdering us.

I'm sure everyone appreciates your investment in the fascist brute squad. Great work.
I’ll keep plugging away to make sure that Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being invested in an effective, durable, and responsible way.

Yes it is crazy!! Attack his strength!! Look at what Rs do. Win the argument!

The practical problem is that if half the country-ish is feeling white hot rage over something, and Dems don’t address it, it reinforces the story that Dems are weak idiots who won’t lift a finger to protect people.
People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

A thing I worry about every day is how all of this kind of ends. We are in a kind of post-truth situation, where what is happening on the ground isn't being relayed to the rest of the world and the feds only care about making content. The "problems" are entirely manufactured and fictive.

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death.

The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post.

This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide.

The two men’s eyewitness accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp differ from the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

Amazing that *anyone* is unspooling a "but the states control midterms so Trump can't interfere" take against the backdrop of what is *currently happening in Minneapolis*

Eve weirder to do that in response to a thread detailing things Trump has done already to disrupt elections at the state level.

Dismissing the very idea Trump could "cancel" the next election when he has said he wants to and when there are almost certainly people in the White House working on some vision for exactly that is just stupid.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY
Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon.

The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.
