Dispatches from the End of The World

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.

How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

And then there’s Hegseth, who just authorized the use of a local military base as a “staging site.”

Don’t listen to Homan or Trump. This administration only knows how to lie.

THERE IS NO PIVOT

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

Secretary Noem clearly does not know what she's doing and is not up to the job. She's lied to the American people and it’s time for her to go.

Viral images turn local bookstore owner into symbol of Minneapolis anger After federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, Greg Ketter drove to the scene to “be in that spot.” Images of the 70-year-old emerging from tear gas and shouting his anger quickly went viral.

So many people wanted to show their support that his website crashed.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

How immigration detainees move around Minnesota and the nation ICE detained hundreds of thousands of people last year, shuttling them between jails and detention centers around the country, limiting access to legal support.

Illinois is one of the few states in the middle of the country that protects the right to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.

Supporting care here means supporting access for people who have nowhere else to turn.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

A Well Regulated Militia is Not Terrorism Anti-Ice Protest Open Carry Douglas County Fairgrounds Jan 31 - 1 pm

Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.

I'm confused by Republican gun policy.

If you lawfully have a gun near a protest the government can kill you.

But, if you kill protesters with a gun they'll make you a celebrity.

Just when Trump thought he had safely distracted everyone he has had another night terror event! He told the SS agents consoling him he had dreamed Putin & Epstein were making him do disgusting things, or they would release the files & tapes! He didn’t describe the acts they made him perform!

Governor Kathy Hochul speaking to the press from a lectern

Gov Hochul: “No one is above the law — no one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not the President of the United States—

Make no mistake, when these ppl who have abused the power entrusted to them by their offices are finally out of power, states, including NY, will hold them accountable”

Not de-escalation.

"We are not going to stand for a government that is run by a bunch of CEO kings!" - New York activists occupied a Hilton hotel where ICE agents are reportedly staying at. 70 protesters were arrested. Our Michelle Dao reports.⬇️

States run elections, states issue voter identification, and this has already been investigated.

Andrew Schultz: " '5% of the people they deported are violent criminals."

Akash Singh: " There's probably more pedophiles in the Oval Office."

Schultz: " If you bring up another fucking pedophile & you're not releasing the Epstein list, just shut the fuck up."

What we’re watching isn’t normal politics. It’s an attempt to replace a constitutional system with a personalist system...where institutions serve one man, not the country.

ENOUGH!

Americans shouldn’t be murdered by their own government for peacefully protesting.

Children shouldn’t be kidnapped off the street.

@schumer.senate.gov must stop Democrats from voting to give ICE more money.

Melania Trump: "I think he's unifier. He's unifying not just here in the United States but around the world. He has stopped many wars."

Trump says he "never knew" the oil industry was so big.

He so often says stupid stuff, and too many people act like it's normal and fine.

More proof that traditional media is out of touch:

The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

When you're telling people to "hold the line", you're on the defensive.

The United States is governed by the Rule of Law.

This administration must answer to it.

Accountability, not autocracy.
