Trump had to go way, way out of his way to bring back both measles AND detention camps but by god he did it.

What a legacy.

The good: this medic is doing a great job with that little girl.

The bad: gas the kid, kidnap the kid, fuck the kid, it’s all in-policy for the Trump Administration.

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

What have they been doing all these months? Clearly not what they said

Levels of corruption never before imagined

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

just limitless depravity

Fire Kristi Noem.
Fire Stephen Miller.
Fire Tom Homan.

Prosecute every last one of Trump's thugs who are murdering Americans and terrorizing our communities.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Megyn Kelly v @megynkelly The whistles should be banned.

It’s just incredibly funny this is supposed to be the “freedom” party. It was never about any freedom except their right to be selfish assholes and not feel bad about it.

Alex Pretti was absolutely the best of us

Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

This article includes names of the agents.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

It's true that when a government becomes tyrannical it is the duty of the citizens to overthrow it and form a new one. It's just that the people who have been saying it in my lifetime have been saying it in response to stuff like the existence of Hannukah, and Black people, and the Spanish language.

The witness declarations out of Minneapolis read like testimony from literal war crime tribunals. My god.

Screenshot from a New York Times live blog entry by Ernesto Londoño: “Superintendent Evans said federal officials have refused to disclose the identities of federal agents involved in Saturday’s shooting, as well as the names of federal agents who have shot people in recent days in the course of the continuing immigration crackdown.”

Just escalation after escalation

Here's where we are at: federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old white man, a US citizen and ICU nurse at the VA who appears in multiple videos to have done absolutely nothing violent or even remotely illegal.

YouTube video by Seth Moulton ICE is full of COWARDS. They are all absolute, pathetic, untrained COWARDS. DEFUND AND PROSECUTE.

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

Thank God for the people of Minneapolis. The only source of hope on this unbelievably dark day. Heros.

He was directing traffic around an ICE operation on Eat Street, looking out for public safety. Then he was shielding another protester with his body while ICE pepper sprayed them both.

He died protecting his community.

He should be alive to tell the story.

Abolish ICE forever.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Closest one claps after the shots

Yes, what we saw in Minneapolis today is evidence of a fascist regime.

What we saw in Minneapolis yesterday, and right now—1000s of Americans peacefully protesting that regime—indicates that American society, culture, values, are not tainted by fascism. We reject it and always will.
