“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”
We live in a country, where half of our fellow citizens are perfectly fine with this. In fact, they celebrate it. We are surrounded by monsters.
Tens of millions of your fellow citizens sincerely believe Trump when he says his fascist goons are only destroying the lives of “the worst of the worst.”
"[M]asked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday...[the agent] led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

@contextcounts.bsky.social Apparently someone told Trump he should try to show something resembling human emotion after his first six or seven rounds of defaming Renee Good. And apparently his idea of human emotion is mourning the loss of support of parents of people his thugs have murdered.
Trump has no decency.
He’s worried about Renée Good’s father still being a “tremendous Trump fan.” No kind words about her life.
To each his own. But if I were her father, I’d place the blame squarely at Trump’s feet. He could call off ICE’s cruelty and abuse with a single Truth Social post.

We don't need to play games parsing US law or international treaties to figure out if it's legal for Trump to do this. It's not. It's crystal clear it's all illegal. Everyone's just pretending we're not at the point where the thing to do is to remove him. It's an advanced state of political denial.
Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
