It’s driving me a little insane to see all this β€œprotester” lingo.
Like yea there are protests..

But if masked, armed thugs invade your neighborhood and terrorize your community, standing against that is not β€œprotesting”.

That’s an attempt to maintain safety. The government made itself the danger.

One thing we can say that we know for certain, no matter what abuses of power or corruption Trump engages in, Republicans in Congress will do and say nothing. Except that Susan Collins will continue to be concerned.

If you listen to the #GOP rhetoric, the problem isn't that innocent people are getting shot in the face.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.

End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

How new USPS rules put the right to vote at risk Read more here.

Ensuring that lawful voters can cast their ballots and have them counted should be a bipartisan goal. It is not. For now, it falls to Democrats and the pro-democracy community to step forward β€” even as the USPS has taken a step back. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people.

Massive iconic iceberg turns blue and is "on the verge of complete disintegration," NASA says Scientists say all signs indicate the so-called "megaberg" could be just days or weeks from totally disintegrating.

The GIANT iceberg known as A23a is on the verge of turning into rocks for your vodka over the next few days.

It was larger than Rhode Island.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by β€˜My Own Morality’

Great. Our foreign policy is only restrained by Trump's own morality (He has any?) What could go wrong? Just US servicemembers dying in illegal wars on multiple fronts, the end of NATO, WW3?
This psyochopath must be stopped! (Hello, Congress?)

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Retired ICE agent breaks down deadly Minneapolis shooting
YouTube video by CBS Evening News Retired ICE agent breaks down deadly Minneapolis shooting

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTubeβ€”and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need more of this.

Conway: This man is violating his oath in myriad ways each and every day. Impeachment is not an option. It is mandatory. It is required. It is morally, constitutionally, and legally obligated.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.

Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounce the killing but offer no concrete pledges

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea.

This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: It is much more likely that an ICE agent has an arrest record than an immigrant. β€” Time to unmask, prosecute, and lock them up.
