Excellent point. Glad to hear he's on the "Abolish ICE" side too!
Gov. Landry: "I like to ask Democrats if they like their communities to be dangerous or safe. Do they want their children to be able to walk to school or do they want to worry if they send them on the sidewalks, that unfortunate violent things are going to happen to them?"

Funny, it sure looks like the reason for the threats & violence is because of the massive deployment.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

And yet he persisted.
CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:
"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Let me give you a thought experiment:
Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should.

Absolute Immunity
Alignment with supremacy is a vile choice. Raising the natural costs for those who make that choice by putting first things first.

I ask you.
If you can take the risk. If you can make it happen. Support Minnesota on Jan 23rd.
Keep your kids home from school. Take a sick day. Do not buy anything, do not go anywhere, do not participate in capitalism either as a worker or a consumer.
The people united can never be defeated.

"Maybe we shouldn't've invited the Gestapo to town", think these two prosecutors as they resign from their jobs.
"Maybe we shouldn't've invited the Gestapo into power", thinks the American electorate as citizens are killed in cold blood.
If only we'd had some sign this was going to happen!

The stated reason for ICE agents being in Minnesota is because of the ongoing fraud claims around daycare and other services.
The two prosecutors leading those investigations have now resigned in the wake of Renee Good’s shooting. Even the internal supposed logic of this deployment is falling apart

Pro tip: listen to Black Americans. At the very least, read Baldwin, Angelou, Coates, Douglass, & branch out from there. This nightmare we white people are "suddenly living in"? It is an old, old nightmare, and Black Americans have been telling us about it in plain language for centuries now.

Very, very disappointed to see my senator @baldwin.senate.gov providing any cover to this culture-war bullshit. This vote was a major, unnecessary self-inflicted wound, Senator.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
