ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.

When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:

—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

These will all go to 2026 referendums.

In 2002 or 03 a Chicago public access cable channel aired this for at least a full half hour. No audio. I took a photo with a digital camera & that’s all the documentation I have. Anyone have any dirt?

Ugh. Newsom is such an effective troll against Trump but he’s just not a great Democrat.

Now we know why the federal agents all wear face coverings. They don’t want what they’re hoping to dish out.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

Every time someone says “in the upcoming midterm election,” I feel this sort of sad trombone feeling, because I think Trump is going to invoke the Insurrection Act at some point and find a way to cancel the elections or do things like confiscate votes.

I think Dem strategists and comms/data folks need to recognize that we are in a period of discontinuity. What's happening now is not like what's come before. It's all new. And we need to stay close to the data that's in front of us, not bring old fights into the ones we now find ourselves in.
From Hopium:
- Democrats must work hard now to restore rule of law in America, rein in ICE
- Vance and Rubio are bringing great shame to the US today
- We must do more to support the opposition in Iran
- Imagining "a new birth of freedom" in the world

All lies.
Q: Why are we seeing Americans being asked on the street to provide proof of citizenship in MN? Is that targeted enforcement & are you advising Americans to carry proof of citizenship?

NOEM: We're doing targeted enforcement. There may be individuals around a criminal we ask to validate identity

They’re just going to continue lying brazenly.

She’s got to go.
Q: Are you ok with federal agents & officers violating people's 4th Amendment rights by asking for papers without reasonable suspicion?

NOEM: Every single action our ICE officers take is according to the law and following protocols that we have used for years. They are doing everything correctly

Democratic Governors need to activate the National Guard to protect their communities. Local cops now realize that they're overwhelmed by the same violent forces they initially supported.

Of course, Trump will respond with escalation, but this is no longer, nor has been, sustainable.

Yes. And the reason we are here is the cowards at the top of Senate Dem leadership backed down from a shutdown in March.

They pretended everything was normal and that led to the OBBB with more than $100B in money for ICE. Senate Dems MUST fight now.
This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats.

Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.
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.

If this is how it really went down, this explains why the Minneapolis mayor tonight explicitly told residents not to call the police for help.

That’s a punch in the chest.
“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.”

MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside

Here's Jacob Frey & his police chief. Is Frey telling his police to protect his own residents? No! He's letting his police chief order protestors to stop exercising their first amendment rights, and calling them "criminal demonstrators"
