Federal officers just came in and cleared the protest with tear gas. One officer asked press why we didn’t call 911 when the protesters were destroying the hotel and told us that we are bad Americans. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

NATO soldiers didn’t “die doing nothing.” They died honoring alliances, defending democracy, and backing the U.S.!

In actual fact they died doing what bone spurs Trump never would!

Those graves are the answer to Trumps mouth that he spewed in Davos!

Representatives Henry Cuellar, Vicente Gonzalez, Jared Golden, Laura Gillen, Tom Suozzi, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez & Don Davis have the blood of innocents on their hands.

4 of them have primary challengers. We have a moral duty to oust every rep who voted for the Kidnap Our Children Act.
If @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wasn’t a feckless coward, he would have whipped these votes, and the DHS bill would have failed, 213-214.

These 7 Dems are traitors who support ICE terrorism, & House Dem leadership has made themselves complicit by refusing to even ATTEMPT to talk them into voting no
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez

One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

This administration is lying to people,
In hopes people are stupid or gullible enough to believe them.

This agency is going rogue,
arresting actual citizens with no criminal history, because this agency has absolutely no oversight whatsoever.

So with no oversight, they can abuse the laws & citizen

Today, the US House voted 214-208 to pass HJ Res. 140, a resolution that would undo a 20-year ban on mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and throughout the surrounding watershed in northern Minnesota. That ban existed for a reason the land drains directly into the Boundary Waters,

Yes, but Europe collectively holds a significant chunk of our national debt - enough to crash our economy if they weaponized it the way Trump weaponizes tariffs against them. The unnecessary arrogance of these clowns will be their undoing.

South Carolina’s measles outbreak is up to 646 cases and will likely surpass Texas’ number of cases.

While the overwhelming majority of the cases are unvaccinated, at least 13 were fully vaccinated. It may not seem like a lot but 2% can turn into a huge number at the population level.

From Jan, 2025;

"Dept. of Homeland Security reversed longtime policies restricting Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) & Customs & Border Protection arrests in certain locations including churches, schools, & hospitals."

OK for ICE, but not for ANTI-ICE!

Every time I see some BS about "paid protesters" in Minnesota (or any other ICE-occupied cities), I think of this quote: "One man fighting for his home is worth 1000 fighting for pay."

These protesters are fighting for their communities. They're not going to give up.

Fuck ICE & fuck tyranny.
