Gov’t lawyer from the Boston area; one day I’ll get the hang of it, but haven’t yet after more than 20 years.

The EU could end all of this if it leaked any information it has on the Epstein Files.

Just throwing that out there.

“Made things worse” exceeds “made progress” in every category. 58% say he’s a “failure.”

Did you know: Republicans approved $30 BILLION dollars for ICE’s deportation and enforcement operations in the Big Bullshit Bill?

We have to get rid of Kristi Noem and cut ICE funding.
@repyassansari.bsky.social is cosponsoring Articles of Impeachment for Kristi Noem & introducing legislation to defund ICE. We talk fighting back against the Trump authoritarian regime and the bipartisan resolution she just put forth to support the people of Iran.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

I'm not interested in any politician who isn't dead set on prosecuting everyone in the MAGA regime—from the ICE bully on the street to Bovino to Noem to Trump. Accountability. Fire every ICE and use the bloated budget to pay out reparations to the people and families they've harmed.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

France is our first and oldest ally.

The fact that they are sending troops to fight against us should actually fill every American with horror and shame.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The reason I know the USA won’t invade Greenland is because France and Germany have sent troops there now and Donald is a fucking coward.

Some Democratic congress member needs to invite the “pedo protector” Ford worker to be their guest at the State of the Union.

A US early-warning radar of one sort or another has been on Greenland for nearly 70 years—without the need for US sovereignty. Greenland is also covered by Article Five & US could protect it v Russia or China. Conflating Greenland's military importance with the issue of US ownership is dishonest.

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death.

That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

Yep. And more of a punishment than the agent who shot an unarmed woman in the face three times. Justice is upside down. 🙁

For the rest of my life:

"We can't pay for--" fuck you they paid for ICE to ravage our cities.

"We can't just defund--" fuck you they abolished the Department of Education.
We could have paid teachers at any time.

We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time.

San Fransisco could be clean right now.

It was always a matter of political will.
ICE AGENT: “I love my job. I can’t believe they pay me to do this. I’d do it for free. I only went to high school and I make $200,000.”

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.
