DHS and its collaborators in right wing media are already busy putting out "information" about this morning's deadly shooting. Just like when Renee Good was killed, don't trust anything coming from Trump's government.

Correct.
Dems/patriots should be straight-up committed to abolishing ICE.
We must never again have masked, armed, untrained, unscreened, embittered rogue agents patrolling our streets, destroying civil order rather than trying to maintain it.
Empowered by 'Kavanaugh stop' and 'Roberts waiver.'

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

The Nazis knew that if you repeat a lie loudly enough, and often enough, people will pretend it's true. For awhile.
The Trump White House marked the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection with an official webpage that claims the 2020 election was stolen (it was not), insists Trump supporters were peaceful that day (they were not), and accuses Mike Pence of "cowardice and sabotage."
