he an be sued while in office... it's only a strong suggestion. Current harm being done to US & beyond should be enough to sue. We should not sit idly by & tolerate it.
If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

Masks MUST come off... for our safety.
Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

... and long before he was even born.
His aunt, Rosemary, was given a lobotomy at age 23 because her father thought her poor behavior (like running away from the convent they trapped her in) would hurt political prospects of people in the family. Her father had a friend falsely diagnose her then botch her lobotomy.

They've been doing it since in Los Angeles... just down street from me. Perhaps they're chosen because they WILL point guns at us... for just observing.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Remove their masks & pepper spray & learn how brave they are.
ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

Primaries begin March 3, 2026. PAY ATTENTION & PARTICIPATE because they have huge consequences. Look up when each state's primary is and who is running for offices. Pay attention to every state. Help if we can.
This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

Minneapolis restaurant provides free meals to protest immigration crackdown.

Owner of a Minneapolis cafe says his restaurant relies on donations and hands out free meals to customers who request them, so long as federal agents are deployed in the city to enforce the Trump's immigration crackdown

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

THIS 👇👇👇 We should all have our Senators' & Representatives' (federal & state) contact numbers close by in these times.... then use them. It's a Republic ... if we can keep it 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Thank you to all of the city workers who have been working around the clock this weekend to keep us safe. No job is too small, no storm is too big.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
