Further I believe none of them should have been getting paid this past year because they're not working, they're doing nothing.
Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.
DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

This does not look like freedom to me.
Law-abiding citizens can be stopped for no reason, detained, tased, pepper sprayed, shot, dragged out of their homes…
On bigoted suspicion by untrained federal agents.
Whenever Republicans talk of freedom, this is what it really means.
No civil liberties.

There was no border crisis. There was no invasion. There was certainly no “Great Replacement.”
There were only thinly-veiled excuses by fascists for authoritarian crackdowns like this—where militarized, untrained, masked federal agents harass people with darker complexions or anyone else they want.

Also, it concerns me that these folk think the only job is to win elections and not, y'know, to actually govern. There is a role for people like that, but it is not in government. That's what its called a government and not an electionment.

You guys! If you don’t stop resisting the extrajudicial killings, indiscriminate demands to produce papers, warrantless home raids, savage beatings while in custody, militarized police in the streets, and deployment of chemical weapons against civilian gatherings, he’ll have to Martial Law! 😱

This is what’s destroying me about Dem leadership calling for protests to slow and chill. There are numerous cases where the Feds stop committing illegal acts only BECAUSE the protesters showed up. The narrative about Feds committing illegal acts because of protesters is fully, completely backwards.

I gave ICE too much credit, yesterday I said the thug was probably a newbie with one day's training, nope it's a guy who has been a cop for ten years. Just a "bad apple" right?

This regime needs to lose Congress and the Senate. It needs to be dismantled piece by piece by piece. Impeach, remove. Impeach, remove.
That means we need a whole new class of Democrats sweeping in.
I fear for what happens if nothing changes—if the GOP holds both houses.

Stop starting from the assumption that protesters are the root cause of violence during political conflict. They are not. The violence is coming from THE FEDS. You are responsible for protecting your residents from THEM.

So ICE blocked healthcare workers from getting to the woman who was murdered in Minneapolis. So hey ICE boot lickers, is that okay? The ICE cock gobblers keep saying ICE did nothing wrong. So is blocking life saving treatment just part of the "lawful orders"? Is that just part of being "good guys"?

"ShE diSoBEyeD A LaWFuL OrDEr" so the penalty for disobeying a cop should be death, got it. JFC no wonder we live in a "shoot first ask questions later" country. This country is crawling with people with pea sized brains who don't see the obvious problem with that.

This was what ICE was up to before they murdered a woman for the crime of not getting out of her car and trying to drive away.

"The safety of others" the woman was driving away in her car, on a road, about ten seconds after the agents told her to get out of the road. She was not a threat. I wonder what she was wearing too??
When an officer is in physical contact and a vehicle takes off standard police procedure involves taking evasive action to avoid being hit and using their firearm to stop the threat. Officers are trained to prioritize their safety and the safety of others when a threat is presented by a vehicle.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.
