ICE and CBP agents arrested 2 U.S. citizens working at a Target.

Can you guess their ethnicity?

You can unfortunately because ICE is discriminating on skin color.

Working legally while brown gets you this in Trump's America.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

This is terrifying. These are Trump's paramilitary, no different than Hitler's SS, and no one is safe.
"Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

This video was filmed yesterday in St. Louis Park, MN — a nearby suburb of Minneapolis. I do not know the person who filmed it, but this incident is very clear and terrifying example of what has been happening here over the past week or so.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.

But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.
