"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

If you believe in American democracy, this is a very good time to stand up for the free press

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

#Michigan Rep Jack Bergman after execution of Alex Pretti. “The Congressman proudly supports all of Nation’s law enforcement and supports strong border security. Voters in the First District have soundly rejected these far left politicians every year and will do so again in this election.” Hell no

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No words for the level of inhumanity...

Murders, rapists and drug dealers is who we were told they’d round up. Not, A father and son that came here legally and have committed no crimes.

When Trump talks about a "peace deal"... he really means "piece deal" as in piece of real estate. That's why he keeps sending his real state guy & son in law.

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Rachel Maddow: The people, by and large, stand in opposition to Trump — his approval ratings have fallen through the floor & then down into the basement & then through the basement floor into the bedrock — He is just despised as a political leader in this country in almost unprecedented terms

Listen to this very obvious manipulation of Trump by Russia. Absolutely insane. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ffF...

ProPublica: "Bureau of Prisons lost at least 1,400 more officers in 2025 than it hired." “We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable.” Now BOP officers are deployed in the streets of Minnesota. Who's at prisons?

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

Somewhere in Minnesota, a young girl is hiding in an attic with her family – journaling with hope. May we not disappoint her.

This is the dumbest shit he’s done yet, and that’s saying something.

NO means NO.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

Stephen Miller's invasions are utterly atrocious but they're also renewing civil society in every city he invades.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” –The Federalist Papers, Number 47

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

The fact is PB, OK & 3% are no longer "visible" at protests. This is likely why agents are masked to hide identity. Congress needs to be scrutinizing contractors for B*ackwater operators as well.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

“God damn them all.”
