This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention.
Keep calling them out, America!
Keep calling them out, America!

Here’s the thing. The GOP has a two-vote majority in the House. It wouldn’t take much at all backbone to make big changes. Bravery and duty from almost the literal *smallest* number of Members of Congress. And yet we wait…
Urgent call from citizen in Greenalnd to the US Congress.

That this message didn't hit is kind wild when you look at the time stamp on it
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:
"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness.
Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

ICE violently detain man asleep in his cruise ship cabin—a U.S. citizen & veteran of Coast Guard.
Agents jump on bed to tackle undressed wife—rip phone out of her hand to stop filming.
"This is not the country I served for," he said. "It's not the America I knew 10 years ago."

Way down the list on how insane and evil this is, but... just a point of con law trivia, I guess: the president doesn't have the power to annex territory. Like, even assuming we militarily occupied it. Just on the domestic law angle, it still wouldn't be "part of the US" w/o Congress saying so.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

In 1938, after Hitler took Austria and European leaders gave Hitler a huge chunk of Czechoslovakia, the world hoped Hitler would not try to conquer any other countries. They were wrong. The lesson was that leaders must swiftly unite to stop these type of leaders. Same rule applies now to Trump.
