It really doesn't matter if ICE is beating up US citizens or undocumented immigrants. We have laws and constitutional protections in this country for a reason, and they don't just apply to citizens.

I see no evidence whatsoever that anyone in this administration believes they will ever be held accountable for anything. They clearly have a plan. The question is whether their own ineptitude and underestimation of people who don't inhabit their weird online universe will stop them.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department does not believe there is currently any basis to open a criminal civil rights investigation into the killing of a woman by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis, a top department official said Tuesday.

Five years ago, Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government.
He was dangerous then, and he’s dangerous now.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

In a healthy democracy, there would bipartisan Articles of Impeachment on the floor of the House by tonight
But we are neither a healthy democracy nor, I would argue—given the end of our separation of powers and our rule of law—a democracy at all anymore

I can't believe we've reached the "if you want to watch the real news you have to hope someone recorded a bootleg from Canada" phase of this aspiring dictatorship and it hasn't even been a year 🙄

Well done Indiana.
BREAKING:
The Indiana Senate just REJECTED the gerrymandered congressional map that Trump and his allies pressured Republicans to support.
The GOP-controlled chamber voted down the map, 31-19.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

FINAL: No. 2 Indiana defeats Wisconsin 31-7. Hoosiers close out their home slate with a win. They move to 11-0, 8-0 in Big Ten play. Officially the best start to a season in program history. Bye next week, then at Purdue on Black Friday. #iufb

As a long time Indiana football fan, it is disorienting to watch this dominant team go to 11-0. Congrats to Cig and the undefeated #Hoosiers!
