I will never surrender my freedom! Patriotic and Democrat, no, it's not a contradiction! Love to read, primarily any sub-genre of sapphic fiction. I consider myself a consumer of words. I hate scammers and users but I love blocking them.

One thing that shows you how bad ICE’s tactics are — ACTUAL cops are among the most vocal and biting in criticizing them.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Calling on The 23:
Impeach and remove The Instigator of all this violence and chaos.
Impeach and remove The Instigator of all this violence and chaos.
All it would take to end the murder of 🇺🇲citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach & remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public & end all of this.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

Exactly. Report the facts. One of the most striking facts here are the lies. And they are lies. Intentional lies.
Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

An ICE detainee is the victim of “homicide” according to an autopsy report, and he is just one of 3 deaths in 44 days at this Texas ICE detention facility.
I've got the latest details, including DHS' efforts to silence and deport the eyewitnesses to this homicide.

⚡️On Jan. 22, Russia stepped up drone reconnaissance over Kyiv and the surrounding region.
Monitoring channels report intensified voice communications on combat frequencies among strategic aviation units — a sign Moscow may be preparing another massive strike in the coming hours or days.
