Even if Renee Good had been disrespectful to law enforcement, "a person cannot be murdered by the state for being disrespectful. You know where that can happen? In places like Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and China—countries ruled by thugs."
ICE Is a Law-Breaking ‘Law Enforcement’ Agency
A Trump-appointed judge took the agency to task for its flagrant contempt.

We are quickly coming up on 50,000 whistles shipped so far in January, and I am just forever impressed by the passion of the folks who have joined forces with us!

A reminder that if you know anyone who needs whistles, they can email the address at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

This week, I spoke with a St. Paul woman who told me ICE came to her door and asked her to report on her "Asian neighbors."

The Hmong community, the large majority of whom are in this country legally for decades now, is in hiding.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW:

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

a number of church/school groups around here are doing this as well, and it's a great way to pitch in to protect your neighbors – join(or start) these logistical efforts within your own communities to help ensure safety for kids/pets/elders in the event parents/caregivers are taken

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.
