This was not an inevitability.

This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress,

This would be akin to President Biden speaking to the FBI agents right before they searched Mar-a-Lago. I'm sure Republicans would have been totally fine with that.

A news article displays a photo of a person in a dark face covering and blue jeans being led away by two heavily armored officers in tactical gear, one wearing a gas mask, on a city street. The article's headline reads: "ICE Employees Vent on Reddit, Saying They're Not Getting Paid and Still No Insurance Despite Promises," with the photo caption stating "ICE in action in Portland."

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit.

Here is your domestic terrorist.

Alex Pretti was the best of us. He was murdered by the worst of us. May his memory be a blessing.

May his killers face swift justce.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Raphael Warnock speaking to reporters

Raphael Warnock: “I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can:

Enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

Bystander: “I’m a physician!”

ICE: “I don’t care!”

Ok. Better hope no members of the Gestapo ever need medical care when they’re out in public then. Cuz I’m pretty sure they’ll have a hard time finding a member of the public to help them. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
