Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Yesterday, ICE murdered an American citizen.
The only way to prevent future horrors is to prosecute and ensure full accountability up the entire chain of command.

All day long it stays with me. "That's fine dude. I'm not mad at you." With a nice smile. I would have been cooperative w/her. Instead he killed her & hollered "fucking bitch" as her vehicle crashed. It is a moral depth charge of depravity. Why is that murderer not behind bars yet? Life sentence.

I know from long and terrible experience that a woman smiling at me and saying "that's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you," signifies mortal danger requiring three shots at point blank range.

#Revolution sounded good to me a year ago.
The class wars are not the reason.
A civilian was murdered and she was vilified by Trump.
Another dead person was defamed. (Remember Rob Reiner)
They are both heroes for their convictions toward American society, not tweet fodder.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Trump's actions in Venezuela fit with his desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, skyrocketing health insurance premiums, the cost of living crisis, etc.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
