They're planning to steal the 2026 election. If that doesn't work...Insurrection Act.

In theater. So they think they’re at war.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

I voted NO on the funding package that includes 10 BILLION dollars of funding for ICE.
I meant it when I said 'Not another penny.' We must end the violence and intimidation that ICE has brought to our communities.

🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

Right? Because saying "The government will be completely shut down until ICE and DHS are withdrawn from Minnesota" would have been SO RADICAL. My friends and neighbors need to continue to put their lives at risk for two weeks so as not to inconvenience Congress. I wonder who else will be killed?

We are passed the point of blaming Schumer. He is who he is -- a wussy, weak, old man. I blame ALL the Dem Senators who are keeping him in his role. He should be gone. They know it but do nothing. This is on them.

Bruce Springsteen recorded and released 'Streets of Minneapolis' in response to 'state terror' in the state of Minnesota. The rock hero dedicated the song to 'the people of Minneapolis, our immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good,' referring to the two US citizens gunned down this month.

And add ranked choice voting as it helps find popular policy choices.
Purity tests are for primaries. You should vote for the candidate that is closest to ideal for you then.
In the general election, if you aren't voting blue, you will hand this country to the republicans again and that is unforgivable.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.
A legal asylum-seeker who works at Chipotle and plays music at a church in Maine went missing. His pastor searched and searched, eventually finding his abandoned car with the keys on the floor.
ICE grabbed him. No criminal record. No explanation.
