"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Moriarty: "I was working with the BCA all day. What happened at the scene was that the federal agents stood about 2 feet apart w/ large batons & they physically prevented the BCA from entering the scene ... DHS prevented them from even entering the scene with a lawfully signed, by a judge, warrant."

Shitcanned. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

All against everyone's will, and after being told numerous times to fuck off.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Slim Shady on the mic.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Just look at the propositions on the sample ballots for the Texas primaries. There is a STARK AND TERRIFYING difference. You can see a clear chasm between party priorities.

Texans, get angry. Trump is doing this to us. Trump ordered Todd Blanche to move Maxwell, here, as well. Trump is using this state as his personal dumping ground for his crimes against the country. Get angry and loud about it. Call your representatives and threaten their jobs. THEY WORK FOR US!

if Tom "Cava Bag" Homan is your emergency crisis comms guy, you're fucked

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover. If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

BREAKING: DHS says federal agents had body cameras on during the shooting of Alex Pretti. RELEASE THEM NOW ALONG WITH THE AGENTS NAMES. Who agrees?

At this point, he's gonna have to release the full, unredacted Epstein files to distract people from all the murders

Unfuckingheard of. Unfuckingbelievable. Unfuckinghinged. We need to remove this president and his entire admin. Every appointment, every judge, every magpublican, every motherfucking last one of them, by force.

Trump will try to steal the midterms. An administration that executes citizens in the streets and then lies about it will do anything to stay in power. We must plan accordingly.

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

No State should ever have to bargain with the federal government for the lives of it's citizens.

Not only are they murdering us, they are taking our pics and using an AI database to revoke our right to move freely around and/or out of the country.

This administration puts murderers and sex offenders back on the streets, and are making our nation less safe. Hell, they even gave a sex trafficker and pedophile a puppy after giving her new digs in Texas.

You have a First Amendment right to record videos in public. You have a Second Amendment right to carry a gun. You can exercise both of these rights at the same time, full stop.

Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost. time.com/7355839/why-...

Who was the agent who shot Mr. Pretti? Inquiring minds want to hold his ass accountable for murder!

Only political cowards “struggle” to respond...

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

"He was carrying--" "Well she shouldn't have been--" "He was planning--" You're telling me this nation, currently ruled by decree and not legislation, now condones vigilante execution too? This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States. But to hear you talk--America died at 249.

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

Holy fucking shit.

Jesus.

This is a good breakdown of the legal actions taking place today, in the wake of Alex Pretti's murder by ICE agents.

10+ minutes of well reasoned sanity, well mostly. Trump doesn't write his own policies, but here ya go... www.mediaite.com/politics/min...

Where did they find a lecturn small enough for dinky dan to see over?

Kristi Noem gives another sloppy magjob in front of a camera.

I would vote so hard for anyone promising to hold this tiny fascist shitstain, his masters, and his army of thugs accountable for their actions.

Public executions will continue until the citizenry is silent.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

When the mentally deteriorating President enacts a plan to send unwanted federal forces to Minnesota, against the wishes of the people of Minnesota and the rightfully elected officials in Minnesota, then the President is responsible for what happens. American citizens died from this. It is serious.
