I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

chip you put this on your website roy.house.gov/media/in-the...

"I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him."

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Minneapolis Mayor Frey at press conference: I think we've only had 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year, two committed by ICE.

So I first heard about this on @npr.org 's radio report this afternoon that extensively quoted Bongino and the govt version. I knew it was one version but I had to dig online to get the details. Do better, NPR when you know from experience that the govt version is unreliable.

The Case to Abolish ICE and Launch Establishment Democrats into the Sun

After 7 Dems voted to fund DHS and ICE's ongoing terror campaign, what more evidence do you need to see that establishment, corporate politicians are part of the problem and not the solution?

Whew. There is no appeasement until he's gone, we know this in our bones. Republicans in the House and Senate could end this tomorrow. Spineless.

Oh oh I know how this works! Like the infrastructure plan that Biden ultimately got passed!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Color! There isnt much color in it anyway, so I don't think it is too much.

Look what we've done to ourselves in one year. Truly exceptional.

Two trees. I like the primary secondary-ness of the composition that way. One tree feels crowded in how it is cropped. IMHO.

There is no appeasement only impeachment.

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:

- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland

- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota

- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

It's 25 days past the deadline to release the Epstein files.

Trump Administration Wipes Out Grants for Substance Abuse, Addiction & Mental Health Services in CT (Hartford, CT) – The Trump Administration overnight notified the state of Connecticut and community-based nonprofits across the state they are wiping out more than $10 million in grants that fund substance abuse, addiction and mental health services in the state, effective immediately. The CT Community Nonprofit Alliance, which represents hundreds of nonprofit providers across the state, is still assessing today. But Alliance President and CEO Gian Carl Casa said the impact is a potentially catastrophe for thousands of people who rely on services. "Nonprofit providers have struggled for decades with underfunding. Providers are still evaluating the total impact, but we know that without necessary funding, many programs will simply cease to operate and lives will be lost,” Casa said. Casa continued, "The priority of any government should be the promotion and protection of the wellbeing of the people who live, raise families and pay taxes in its jurisdiction. "It is hard to understand the Administration’s rationale that programs that literally save lives are not a priority and can be eliminated.

The grant cuts include an estimated $9 million from frontline substance abuse treatment and mental health awareness, school-based trauma, peer support and family support programs, provided by some of the state’s largest providers. Among them, Wheeler Clinic, McCall Behavioral Health, CHR, Rushford, and Bridges Healthcare. The Trump Administration made additional cuts to other state-funded programs. Casa said the Alliance will ask Governor Lamont to step in to save programs using the emergency fund created by the legislature in November to address federal funding cuts. “The good news for Connecticut is that our legislature has created a $500 million fund that is immediately available to the governor to back fill these vital programs,” Casa said. ###

Know your rights if ICE show up.

#IceOutNow

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

all of this

oh shit tomorrow is circle back day already

Except on Sunday night when they are out of everything from the weekend rush

Question: how will the expenses of supporting these ongoing actions be impacted when the US govt runs out of money at the end of January?

If there is an overriding lesson of American foreign affairs in the past century, however, it is that attempting to oust even the most deplorable regime can make matters worse. The United States spent 20 years failing to create a stable government in Afghanistan and replaced a dictatorship in Libya with a fractured state. The tragic consequences of the 2003 war in Iraq continue to beset America and the Middle East. Perhaps most relevant, the United States has sporadically destabilized Latin American countries, including Chile, Cuba, Guatemala and Nicaragua, by trying to oust a government through force.
