Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year.
The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities.

Please share this piece with your Representatives.
I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

this bike ride was both a beautiful display of defiant solidarity, and a promise to the agents still occupying our city that they are about to be absolutely swarmed by ICE Watch on bike patrol.
Epic Unity Ride today in Minneapolis.
Highlights: turnout, families cheering from windows & front doorways, and a beer box.

Again: It’s unclear why federal agents are assaulting any of these legal observers. They ARE the violence.
Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.
She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

So, if multiple agents tackle a person to the ground, beat him, and then shoot him repeatedly, they cannot later say it was ok cause they later found he was armed - which is neither a crime nor one that carries the penalty of immediate execution.

BREAKING Minn. Latest Killing: Feds claim person they killed had a gun. Even if true, that's not a crime. Indeed, this administration said repeatedly its 2d A protected activity. Agents would have to KNOW he had a gun and fear IMMINENT harm from it - that is yet to be established by any evidence.

Paying it back to the Americans who paid the Trump tariffs.
Trump on tariffs: "We've taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, and if we lose that case it's possible we're gonna have to do the best we can in paying it back. I don't know how that's going to be done very easily without hurting a lot of people."
