Retired math teacher. Bernie and AOC are my new favorite pols after the last election. Appeared on Live With Kelly & Ryan twice - as a math teacher. Go figure.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.

Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

They keep showing us who they are.

Murdering our citizens for peacefully exercising their rights, ignoring our laws, gaslighting us for demanding justice…

They think their brutality will cower us into silence.

Into obeisance.

They clearly don’t know who we are.

They will.

the dumbest part of all of this is how predictable it was that conservatives would defend ICE executing random people for expressing the 1st and 2nd amendments rights would be

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

I don't think in my lifetime there has ever been a U.S. federal agency as universally and deservedly hated (in this country, anyway) as ICE.
ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

I am furious at the gaslighting. Republicans caused healthcare premiums to skyrocket and now say it's unfixable. A three-year ACA extension proves that a lie. It is fixable. They just lack the will. #RepublicanHealthcareDisaster

If someone says they're from Indivisible ask them what they think of Chuck Schumer. If they say they like him it's ICE.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Doesn't seem safe for our Australian athletes anymore..
Countries of the world - This be an example of why you should cancel your appearance at FIFA. It’s also a very clear reason to not come to the US for the Olympics. A star player detained in the state he plays in. Can you imagine what will happen to your athletes from water polo, track, cycling, etc

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”

ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

Siegel won an overwhelming victory in November—now this.
Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
“We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”
Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent
Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.
