Dem Senators listen carefully to the words Homan uses: “in theater”’ “deployment”, “mission”. He’s using military jargon because this is an illegal occupation of a US city. Don’t fund ICE!

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Bovino doesn't just go home. Kristi Noem doesn't get to ride off into the sunset with Corey Lewandowski on her horse. Stephen Miller doesn't get to order federal agencies to break the law and then move over to Fox News. Investigate, prosecute, punish. No one is above the law.
Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace. Tell your representatives in Congress it’s time to impeach!
Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem

I’m heartbroken. Another murder in MN by this horrific regime’s goon squad. But I’m reminded of the proverb (pardon the paraphrase), they tried to bury us but didn’t know we were seeds. We are seeds. Don’t give up.

Whenever we manage to get a regime change here at home, nothing will repair the damage that has been done other than a Constitutional Convention. Everything is entirely broken now, I’m convinced of this. @jayapal.house.gov @murray.senate.gov

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

One of the hardest things for me and the work my church is doing right now is realizing how much peace I need to make with the possibility my own death.
ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

i simply will not vote for any Democratic candidate who does not promise to prosecute the members of the regime responsible for these atrocities and I’m confident many other Democratic voters will feel the same. It’s up to Democratic politicians in 2026 and 2028 if they want these votes or not.
The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

Beloveds, remember that it is not healthy or helpful to you to watch video of an execution over and over. Watch once if you feel you need to, but then avoid it. You can will still be angry, still want justice, still raise your voice without traumatizing yourself further.

Everything the Trump administration is saying about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis is a LIE.
The woman did NOT “weaponize her vehicle.” She did NOT “attempt to run over law enforcement officers.”
She was trying to drive away from the scene. ICE shot and killed her.
