The Trump administration just admitted it was a "mistake" to ignore a court order and deport Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19 year old college student who was flying home to visit her family for Thanksgiving.

It's straight-up fascist playbook to create chaos and violence, blame your enemies for it, and claim the chaos and violence will stop only if you have absolute power.
Stand against Trump's criminal regime. Stand with Minneapolis.

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Ro Khanna: “It's not a coincidence that what set Trump off was the hecklers saying, ‘you're a pedophile protector’ — He knows he's losing the MAGA base on this. He was elected to expose the corruption. Instead, every move they made is to protect people who raped underage girls”

To say a bit what people’s lives are like: both of my kids’ schools have chats that are connected to the parents and neighbors patrolling school grounds observing for ICE. Every a.m. other parents monitor them in case we need to quickly go to the school to help prevent a child from being kidnapped.

Very clear, well-written coverage of the entire situation that led to Good's murder, as well as the bigger picture re ICE
Even former members of ICE were horrified by the killing of Renee Nicole Good. “They murdered her, plain and simple. That is all there is to it."
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Articles of Impeachments are not a waste of time. They provide official records, along with extensive contemporaneous evidence which can be used against Trump and his cabinet members WHEN they eventually face criminal prosecutions..

This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

It’s important to remain as calm, in control, and pose as little perceived threat as possible during the incident because they are not. Calmly state you’re confused and ask them what orders they want you to follow. Your first responsibility to yourself and your family is to survive the encounter.

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.
Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

Just want to stress that this was a woman who was simply trying to get to a doctor's appointment.
We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

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.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

To the military, You Do NOT have to follow illegal orders . You know that already from basic, through the ranks, and Officers, it is repeated throughout your service. They are going after fellow Veterans and intelligence officers for saying what you are told on a regular basis. See the problem?
