If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.
This might be dooming millions to disease they donβt have to experience.
Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and sheβs rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability canβt wait.
A quick point. If you had a friend that whined and complained and was always playing βvictimβ as much as Donald does, Iβd be willing to bet you wouldnβt be his friend for long. Such a whiney belly aching baby.
Also Epstein
Alex Prettiβs parents deserve to know who murdered their son in cold blood and to face them in court.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHSβs lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trumpβnow. George Conway βοΈπΊπΈ @gtconway3d The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Againβ¦. Just under 48 hours agoβ¦.. seven democrats and all the so called βreasonableβ (concerned on Twitter and cnn types) voted to fully fund ICE at its bloated, out of control level.
ICE is better funded than most militaries
ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy.
If you get off on this, youβre a monster and donβt you dare pretend to worship God.
I've been waiting for this.
Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.
It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerlessβ¦.

The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

This is a transparent attempt to create a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.
One provision applies when a group of people "opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws." And when it's (allegedly) the state itself...
Criminal investigations for nothing but speech; the administrationβs contempt for the First Amendment could not be more clear.

Sure seems like ICE is gping into a violence spiral in MN. They act out, people monitor and protest, they get madder and more agitated, people monitor and protest more.
Theyβre going to kill more people, administrationβs going to congratulate and encourage more, theyβre gonna kill MORE people.
We do not have kings or dictators in America. These monuments belong to the people.
Our bill would prevent Trump, or any other president, from using our public monuments to glorify & worship themselves.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didnβt obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.β

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
IF YOU WANTED to design a quiet coup in a republic that still mouths the words βchecks & balances,β you wouldnβt roll tanks down Penn. Avenue. Youβd hand a volatile president a match, dress it up as βArticle II,β and watch six robed partisans strike it against the wiring of the administrative state.

It doesnβt get anymore textbook than this:

President Biden - never stopped being presidential even after going through cancer treatment, showing great leadership and stamina.
The felon couldn't be bothered being presidential, is destroying our country and pardons criminals like himself.
