AG Keith Ellison: "ICE is provoking them, or trying to. And I do think they would love a justification to invoke the Insurrection Act because I think that would give them an advantage in the election. Namely, to maybe suspend them."

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

MAGAs are so unhinged from reality that they’re attributing a plummeting of Fentanyl deaths under Biden driven by better public health policies to Trump’s fascist immigration policies. 🤦🏽♂️

No major American city has ever voted for Trump, and he’s using ICE to punish them for it. He’s threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, but his goons “are already behaving like an army of occupation.” From Harold Meyerson: trib.al/W0zAspA
Attila, Genghis Khan, Trump - The American Prospect
It’s not enough to equate Trump’s legions to the Gestapo or the Klan. He is heading a horde that is defined by an exterminationist loathing of cities and all that they stand for and promote.

Schumer needs to be defeated as leader in January 2027.
There is real rancor in the caucus with him; this is an achievable goal.
Call your senators, ask your candidates - do not support Schumer for leader.

Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.
The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

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.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.
