I wrote about Senate Dems’ proposed “reforms,” which range from superficial to likely unenforceable to actively harmful; the grip billionaire-backed anti-“abolish” Groups have over Washington and the conspicuous absence of any attempt to touch DHS’s obscene budget.
Senate Democrats’ DHS "Reforms" Shaping Up To Be Another Kneeling Kente Cloth Moment
“Body cams,” vague demands of “accountability,” but no attempt to cut DHS's obscene budget is a recipe for status quo maintenance.

we are finding out the hard way which local businesses see themselves as part of a reciprocal community ecosystem and which are in it for the money and nothing more. my favorite bar in town is one of the good ones #wesburdineforgovernor
You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Chuck should resign immediately
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Block all those Alt government accounts as they're grifters/trash.
This has been a strong suggestion from your pal Laurel who is too tired to explain right now if you question her.

So much for my "You're not gonna cry today, Jeremy" mantra.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free.

could not disagree more. if you negotiate on ICE now, you concede forever that it's negotiable forever. the stance needs to be complete obstructionism until they get their goons out of our cities
2) “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” <-- People are seeing this and assuming it's some sort of set in stone slogan forever. No, dude, it's the slogan for this particular fight. You're not going to abolish ICE with this funding bill. Sorry, if you think that's on the menu you're just stupid.

best sports metaphor I can come up with is a defensive back intercepting a pass in the open field with a clear path to the end zone and the head coach screaming from the sidelines to down the ball where he stands
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

"untrained" is what we're going with??
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
