If true that Greg Bovino is being demoted and forced to retire, it’s because of us. The resistance.
Now let’s step it up and get rid of Kristi Noem for good.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

Can we please stop calling ICE “law enforcement officers?” They’re not enforcing any known laws on the books. What they’re doing is inventing their own laws on the spot — and playing judge, jury and executioner.
