read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

I hope they didn’t think we forgot about impeaching Kristi Noem. 181 cosponsors and counting, 40k+ letters sent, and countless calls telling Representatives to get on board. Let them know we aren’t slowing down. Send your letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

One reason that all of Jeffrey Epstein's old freinds and fans aren't begging for forgiveness is that they don't think he did anything wrong. The real villians, in their telling, is anyone who stops rich white guys from screwing whomever they want.

The Epstein case reflects systemic issues within the American elite. Despite clear evidence, the perpetrators will probably never be charged. They engage in exploitative practices without consequence.The American oligarchy has amassed its wealth through parasitism

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

🎯

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Politicians SAY they are for The People. But they fail to have the police protect us by ARRESTING and JAILING ICE TERRORISTS the moment those thugs throw teargas at protesters. We don’t listen to posers who TALK but never use their power to HELP. We The People are the only leaders. Nobody else.

Ager: I had a neighbor who didn’t go to the doctor because he had a stomach ache and thought he’d be all right. Four months later he died. People are more afraid of the costs than getting the care they need. This is happening all across the country, and we can do better.

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

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

Just think about the amazing Epstein scoops the new CBS Evening News contributors will have just by interviewing each other.

Kavanaugh Attack

Protect yourselves! “Here are some of those tips that WIRED has assembled from speaking to those who have used the radical act of pointing video cameras at authority figures for activism, in the media, and in court.”

These CBP bozos need to be monitored like a pack of feral toddlers high on Mountain Dew. And we actually give these dipshit guns?

welp

Alex Pretti's friend: "He was standing up for that woman. He was trying to help her get out of that situation... They did not need to kill my friend."

The ice Gestapo are kidnapping people off the street. Come and get me, asshole.

This video in slow motion fully refutes Trump’s administration's false claims that Alex Pretti was "a threat to enforcement agents." Alex Pretti's "crime" was trying to help a brutally pushed lady. And for that, he was shot 10 times... ICE thugs must be stopped !!! #PROTESTAgainstICEAndTrump

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing

The nurses are pissed

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it Pressure your senators

Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."

I call on members of Law Enforcement to remember their duty to protect and serve the American People. Those who know what this administration is really doing and stand up to the tyranny. Those members of the FBI and DOJ that can blow the whistle on the corruption and lies.

Mood in Nuuk, Greenland today.

When government agents choose to mask themselves, use 5 year olds as bait, send people to countries where they don’t know the language, separate families and so on, the consequence of that is to be compared (rightly) to the gestapo. When they murder citizens, they prove the point.

So, you can carry firearm across state lines to a protest and if you shoot two people Kash Patel will advise you to sue the media and the Biden Administration. If you are in your home state and never draw your gun, and get shot by ICE Kash Patel says its "illegal" to carry a gun to a protest. 🙄

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Walz: "We're no longer having a political debate. We're having a moral debate."

OpenAI exec James Dyett calling out the cowardice

Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it? They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them. It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
