Currently, Indigenous people are housed in the ICE facility in Minnesota. We want to make it clear that this isn’t isolated to Minnesota, nationwide indigenous people are being harassed if not outright targeted by ICE operations. We need to be more vocal about these issues!

NEW: The Supreme Court will release new opinions on Tuesday at 10am. Among the cases we are waiting on is the Louisiana redistricting case that could gut what is left of the Voting Rights Act.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

ICE kidnapped 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, released one, and now "can’t locate" the other three.
America is at a legally impossible state where Native Americans aren't even considered Americans by ICE anymore.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Trump used the US military to steal Venezuela's oil and then sell that oil for $500 million. Trump will be keeping that money for himself in a Qatari bank with no oversight or accountability.
