Our Wins Of The Week Donald Trump’s attempts at diving us headlong into autocracy is being met with constant resistance from all sides.

This week was a good reminder that Trump can be beaten back. A grand jury rejected charges against Democratic lawmakers, immigration operations in Minnesota were scaled back, and the Pride flag went back up at Stonewall. With Trump’s approval slipping, there is real reason for optimism.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the β€œbaby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

They knew this policy was so unconstitutional that they kept the β€œlegal memo” authorizing this practice hidden, wouldn't let physical copies of it circulate, and a whistleblower had to alert Congress about its very existence.

THE GRANDMOTHERS AGAINST GENOCIDE
YouTube video by Charlie Angus THE GRANDMOTHERS AGAINST GENOCIDE

Even if the world pretends it isn't happening
Even if the politicians are silent
Even if you worry that people will think you are crazy
It doesn't mean that you can't do something.
Because you can still speak up.
Silence is complicity.
And we will not be complicit.

Canada Must Stop the Sale of Armoured Vehicles to ICE Canada has a legal obligation, under both domestic and international law, to block the sale of armoured vehicles to U.S.

Canada has legal obligation to cancel the export permits for the armoured vehicles being purchased by ICE.
Here is my piece on what is needed to get the Prime Minister to respect international and domestic law in dealing with the ICE paramilitaries.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz:

They left us with many unanswered questions:

Where are our children?

Where, and what is the process of the investigations into those that were responsible for the deaths of Renee [Good] and Alex [Pretti]?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Documents show the oil industry and regulators knew decades ago that injecting drilling’s toxic liquid leftovers underground wasn’t safe.

Trump's EPA is still claiming it's fine.

They’re deporting US Army veterans.

They say if they’re undocumented, they must go.

Such a selfish group of human beings.

They consider undocumented immigrants β€œgood enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation.
