For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs.

US border czar says immigration crackdown in Minnesota will โ€˜concludeโ€™ Tom Homan says that Trump has backed โ€˜significant drawdownโ€™ in the state, where two US citizens have died

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. Theyโ€™re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. Itโ€™s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong ๐Ÿ’ช

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Actโ€”a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Hundreds rally today at president house in Philadelphia, PA as several organizations are suing the Convicted FElon's executive order about slavery that removed signs about Washington's slaves. People are trying to bring the signs back.

The fact that ICE refers to people detained as "bodies" tells us everything we need to know. It's fascism.

Opinion | Let the Arms Race Begin

If Congress doesnโ€™t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

ICE is running a โ€œconveyor beltโ€ of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Abolish ICE.

Thereโ€™s no reforming it.

Thereโ€™s no compromise.

Thereโ€™s only one way to rein in ICEโ€™s terror campaign. Abolish it.

AOC on ICE: Itโ€™s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by โ€œfree economic zonesโ€ with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascismโ€”a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameโ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
