America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.
I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Sex Crimes. State Crimes. War Crimes.
We’re detecting a pattern with this administration.

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.

Trump is turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System, or BDS. He's creating many new avenues for media companies, law firms, universities, etc to channel tribute payments as he directs. Feeding the BDS is the cost of doing business in Trump's America.

The Trump administration owes @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, and all Americans, an explanation of the breach of her personal data, and it must be investigated so something like this cannot happen again.

Soldiers in MRAPs rolling around Union Station—blocks from the Capitol—seems silly, performative, and useless.
But it raises a much darker question:
What would Trump have done on Jan. 6, 2021 if he had possessed then the kind of control over local law enforcement that he seeks to acquire today?

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance.
578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.
