The savagery & #ICELawlessness is truly depraved.
A 2nd shooting happened tonight.
#ICE doesn't have the right to shoot unarmed people & I don't believe their justifications.
After the ridiculous lies told about Renee Good, how can anyone can ever believe what the government says again?

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Something that keeps sticking with me. I spent a decade and a half as a reserve with the DC Metropolitan Police Department. If you ever deployed OC pepper spray on the streets of Washington, DC, that was a use of force. Full stop. You wrote it up.

Who are the “two US officials” and why would CBS give them anonymity when they are just putting something out there that DHS and ICE obviously wants put out. Who are these “US officials” and why are they granted anonymity???

ICE just broke a woman’s windows and yanked her out of her car at Park and 34 in Minneapolis. This is after a crowd gathered while ICE raided a home.

Notice the sign, "One of ours; all of yours."
This is the fascist slogan for collective punishment, signaling what's next. It began with immigrants and has quickly expanded to include everyone who disagrees with the regime.
Stay vigilant, people!

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?
We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

20M registered Democrats didn't bother to vote in '24.
90M people of voting age never even bothered to register to vote.
Voter turnout was under 65% putting US in the lower third of all democracies.
Freedom isn't free.
Too many people took too much for granted for too long.
This has to change.
