Taps the microphones… @jeffroushwriting.bsky.social writes #FridayLimericks over the course of a year and this book is the full collection. They are sharp, funny, political, absurd, and uncomfortably accurate. With all due respect, if you like smart and sharp writing, get it: a.co/d/eimYvgA

Minneapolis is peacefully, protesting by the thousands in frigid temps! 🔥🔥🔥 #AbolishICE

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

DOJ officers are explicitly prohibited from using firearms simply to prevent escape or disable a moving vehicle. They are also not allowed to intentionally put themselves in a vehicle's path to justify using deadly force.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) a federal agency under DHS comprised of federal agents enforcing federal immigration laws. They do not have the authority to remove your 1st Amendment Rights or interfere with state laws. This is not what is happening and we cannot normalize it. #StopICE

COMMUNITY ALERT & CALL FOR SUPPORT Powwow Grounds on Franklin Avenue is now being activated as a community headquarters for ICE patrol observation, rapid response coordination, and community support in South Minneapolis. From: www.instagram.com/p/DTTJmDFEXAf/

Q: Is this ICE officer immune to charges? HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY MORIARTY: I can't speak to why the Trump administration says what it says. I can say the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here.

Good. ++ I wrote this in Oct. True then, vital now. Dem govs and mayors must use every tool they have — and controlling their own law enforcement is crucial. If we don’t start now we WILL regret it. The fight of our lives is upon us. 🇺🇸 ✊ mdavis19881.substack.com/p/policing-t...

It's going to be noisy outside of the White House tonight! 🔥🔥🔥

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.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) do not have the authority to conduct Law Enforcement duties, in our cities. If pursuing targeted individuals, there are protocols in place. Their deployment by the U.S. president or DHS without adhering to the rules, is illegal. Arrest ICE.

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. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

This is NOT about racism, it's about fascism.

"Believe me, if Donald Trump is president again at some point or another, that ugliness will touch all of our lives." - Michelle Obama - The penalty... • for resisting arrest • for trafficking drugs • for civil disobedience • for disobeying law enforcement ...is not death! Thread 1/4🧵

"2026 Midterms" Silver Bullet Photo Trump's paradox. He sent the army to Maduro because of drugs, and recently pardoned the former president of Honduras. The perfect rebuttal for any Republican argument. #ImpeachTrumpAgain #ConvictedFelon47 #TheEpsteinWars Thread 1/6🧵

The federal government sent 2K armed masked ICE agents to Minneapolis to terrorize neighborhoods. Today, they murdered a 37 yr old American mother in cold blood. I'm sick. 😭 ICE is part of immigration not law enforcement, they need to get the fuck out of our cities now!

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Melania knew children were being raped and did nothing.

Five yrs ago, the criminal in the WH lost 64 lawsuits stating the election was stolen and then orchestrated a coup to stop the count. He told them to "fight or they wouldn't have a country anymore." They wanted 1776 (1861 insurrection) instead, we are embarking on 1933 Germany! #J6

He should be impeached & removed/convicted.

Days after speaking with Putin and Netanyahu (two war criminals) the U.S. president is officially now a "war criminal." Only Congress has the authority to declare war, they MUST do their job to stop him! This illegal strike will not bury the #EpsteinFiles nor former SC Jack Smith's testimony.

Happy New Year to Democracy Defenders! Protecting democracy in 2026 starts now! Defend the vote. Call out lies. Register voters. Hold leaders accountable to the law. Defend a free press. Stand up to corruption & fascism. Participate, organize local rallies! We can do this! #DefendersOfDemocracy

Happy New Year!! 🎊🎊🎊

🧵Former Special Counsel Jack Smith hasn't backed down for taking the appropriate actions to hold the most powerful man accountable, for destroying the constitution. As a country, we cannot become numb and normalize what is going on in the U.S. and globally. #JackSmith

Former President Obama continues to display leadership, compassion and authenticity! 💖✨ Merry Christmas sir! @barackobama.bsky.social

Is this a good time to remind everyone that Trump flew to 2024 campaign events on Jeffrey Epstein's plane? Apparently, his own jet had mechanical issues. How did he gain access to this particular plane? #EpsteinFiles www.aspendailynews.com/news/why-tru...

It's not surprising that the so-called president of the U.S. did not mention this current disaster happening in our country, while addressing the nation last night. The malignant narcissist is unfit to serve this great nation and he probably would have found a way to make it about himself.

During former special counsel Jack Smith's testimony before the HJC, Chair Jordan was reminded he is on record for calling Trump the morning of J6. Jordan was also, one of the 147 R's who voted to overturn the 2020 election. Those reps have yet to be held accountable for violating their oath.

When trump was 40 he wasn’t in as good of shape as Obama is now

Minneapolis Police Chef - Brian O'Hara's statement should be echoed by every single police chef in the country! 🔥🔥🔥 Law enforcement has a duty to protect the people against the illegal activities of an armed militia and not assist them. Period.

Twitter X, far from being the groundbreaking medium that initially made information accessible to the greatest possible number of people, has in recent years become an impressive tool for destroying our democracies.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Inside ICE Detention: Stripped, Shackled, Starved Overcrowded facilities, poor medical care, and deaths in custody. Systematic violations of civil and constitutional rights. What are you still waiting for, America? ICE continues to kidnap people & use violent tactics! Thread 1/2🧵

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
