ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.

They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Senate Republicans just BLOCKED the bipartisan War Powers resolution to end the illegal war in Venezuela.

They voted for forever wars, and against the best interests of the American people.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

It's a great look to tell people, "This is what you're allowed to want, working people, and still have anyone listen to what you say about how much groceries cost you; 1 p chicken, 1 pc broccoli, 1 tortilla, 1 other thing. Anything else is unreasonable."
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Joe Rogan trying to find the guy who did this
“You don’t want militarized people in the streets snatching up people," Joe Rogan said. "Are we really gonna be the Gestapo? Where’s your papers—is that what we’ve come to?”

ICE's horrors are achieving extraordinary penetration in info-spaces Dems need to reach:

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

Minneapolis city council member says POC should stay home:
Dear neighbor,

HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.

Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

If any private lawyer acted this disrespectfully towards a federal judge, we would be facing bar proceedings, court sanctions or both. The fact that Trump administration lawyers continue to act this way is a disgrace. It is time for judges to put an end to it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

We have Justin Amash and Bill Kristol saying ABOLISH ICE before most Democrats.

What does that say about the Democratic establishment?

Donald was just spotted flipping off a Ford worker who yelled "pedophile protector" during Trump’s visit to the factory today.

Whatever you do don't call @realDonaldTrump a pedophile protector today. He hates that.

The States send their reps. Trump can't tell, say, Pennsylvania not to send their members. (He can try, but then it becomes an issue in Harrisburg, not DC)
I put nothing past Trump, but he is not omnipotent. Stop preemptively panicking. Vote in large numbers.
States don't control the Capitol in DC or the feds, Tom.

Are we assuming Trump wouldn't try to use force, or assuming that armed forces would refuse to carry out his orders, or what? 25th?

Because I think it's safe to assume that he will do what he wants, if he thinks he might get away with it.

ICE not only manhandled and terrorized a 10th grader who is an American citizen, they stole his phone. And then they sold it.

I repeat, they stole his phone, and then they sold it.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

One of the most drastic mistakes American liberals made over the past 30 or 40 years was to focus almost entirely on presidential elections, when so much power was right there to be taken in state houses.
Neat! We are winning at the local levels that the Repubs/MAGA used to win. People are pissed.
