Although ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position.
Pot. Kettle. Black.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

You may not have heard, but it’s important. Dems are holding shadow hearings on ICE crimes. Witnesses provided harrowing and explosive accounts yesterday. I provide some highlights from the day, and I urge everyone to watch and amplify them. Link in the replies.

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Texas — Protester roughed up and arrested for having roller skates.

Trump’s America. Abbott’s Texas.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

🚨TONIGHT’S PROTEST IN MINNEAPOLIS IS INSANE:

CNN is STUNNED. Share this widely!

“I've covered many protests… I've not seen a crowd like this before.” It’s 8 degrees. “It is freezing, but nothing, nothing is stopping these people.”

This isn’t a rally. It’s a movement. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

-Leave Minneapolis, stop terrorizing
-End arrests without warrants
-stay away from schools/churches
-hold the shooters accountable
-leave citizens alone
-take off masks
-make detention facilities humane
-impeach Noem

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Oh yes. Yes you did.

“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward.

Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

Arizona, November 2020

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

This should be big news, but it’s barely a whisper.

The Trump admin is focusing on the wrong problem. The fraud isn’t w/SNAP recipients, it’s with outside scammers.

USDA let outdated SNAP cards stay vulnerable, and families lost about $555 million in food benefits, not to “cheating,” but to theft.

Incredible. The people of Minnesota are inspiring a nation.

Healey: Whether it’s ballrooms, or masked agents, or attacks on Europe and Greenland…This is not normal. It’s not normal to have somebody who acts like a two-year-old throwing a tantrum. On any given day, we don’t know what he’s going to do.

This shouldn’t be normalized. It’s not right.

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

🔥🔥🔥

Minnesota is the best of us.

Important interview covering reporting from the NYT on Trump’s massive self-dealing and corruption.

Steve Schmidt (@steveschmidt) Very powerful words. The California Governor and the Canadian Prime Minister are telling the truth. They are l leaders meeting the moment. It is wonderful to see. @Gavin Newsom

Another death in an ICE detention center in TX has just been ruled a homicide by asphyxiation.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

100 cosponsors and 30k letters sent to Congress for impeaching Noem in a week is something special.

But we aren’t even close to the finish line, so let’s keep pushing!
