Well no duh. It’s a statement. He could also talk to his state reps who have the power to push that.

Let’s have more straight talk.

We are way past political differences.

It’s us against the fascists.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

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

They need to be out there in the streets with all of us. In the DC rallies and marches, it was always the same handful who showed up. They work for us. It’s about time they act like it.

We need more whistleblowers. This needs to end. MAGAts are out here saying us sane Americans are doing the lying and it’s fake news being reported, when it’s literally their cult and fascist government leaders who keep gaslighting us. This regime needs to end.

At a press conference with Walz, state investigators say they got no cooperation with ged, and once they left the scene, MN investigators could not stay there bc they couldn’t secure the crime scene safely.

Let that sink in.

Walz has activated National Guard. adds they will be billing the Feds bc the costs incurred are the Feds fault

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

Abolish ICE. It’s not training. The murderer of Renee Good had years of training. They don’t have the temperament or mental ability. I hope you also speak with our VA gov @abigailspanberger.com and decide how you will handle it together when it gets worse here.

The federal government is gunning people down in the streets, lying about what happened and then preventing any independent investigation of the killings

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons.

All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

It was a murder. What will you do? What will Congress do? Why are paying taxes?

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Fuck Vance. This regime and its β€œleaders” are a threat to our national security and the world’s security. Fuck their gaslighting. Fuck.

We’ve had a huge number of requests for a full transcript of @calvarezaranyos.bsky.social’s speech at the Remove the Regime rally in Washington, DC. It seems to have struck a chord.

While we will post it on the website soon, here is the text as written.

We need to hear the stories of career employees, not just in the DOJ, other agencies, to know about them not being partisan, to hear about their integrity, how they work, to earn trust in government again.

He said so much more, but those were some takeaways. (7/7)

Make the choice to speak up. Tell the truth. Value facts. Stand up to powerful people and stand up for vulnerable people whenever and wherever you can. And continue to support public servants. (6/7)

What will you sacrifice for your beliefs? We won’t know until we’re tested. We have a choice to make a sacrifice. We have to make this choice not knowing if it will result in the outcome we want to see. It’s the only way we will make a difference. It’s how change happens. (5/7)

Police and firemen have a specific trait - when something happens, police run towards it. Firemen run towards the fire. It’s not genetic. It’s a choice. You can learn it. We need to learn to run towards the fire. Need to ask our reps if they’re willing to run towards the fire. Are we ready? (4/7)

The Justice Dept files cases based on facts and now that’s not happening. They arrest first and then find grand juries won’t indict because there’s no case there. (3/7)

The Justice Dept has been taken over by partisan politics and works for one man. Career employees have been removed so no one is left to speak up about what’s wrong or corrupt. (2/7)

So I saw Jack Smith (yes, that one) as a speaker in a lecture series at George Mason University last week. He talked about democracy, integrity, and the rule of law. He said character and integrity are foundations to the rule of law. (1/7)
