im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

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.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

"We lived happily during the war," Ilya Kaminsky

I think we're in the early days of some kind of war, I'm just not sure what kind it is yet. Before the secession, states on both sides ignored federal law. Sanctuary states are like states that refused to return slaves. And the Democrats are like Franklin Pierce doughfaces.

I just signed onto Reddit, and yeah

The feds deployed HC in Portland tonight and heavily gassed people and a neighborhood over people standing in a driveway that wasn’t even being used.

Dave Guttenfelder is an amazing photojournalist who‘s most recently primarily focused on conflict photojournalism in Syria and Ukraine. Hes recently turned his talents to Minneapolis.

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

man.

Correct and I think this is finally starting to break through: people taking action in Minneapolis are not, in most cases, "protesters"

“As of Saturday evening, the family said they had still not heard from anyone at a federal law enforcement agency about their son’s death.”

Well worth a watch. Another case of normie radicalization. This guy is the former president of a local HOA, a web developer for real estate companies and a self proclaimed "member of the square community" and he's out in the streets.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Getting warmer

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Republicans are in favor of having a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government unless you have a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

I don't know man, how many more Rubicons do we have to cross?

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse in the Veterans Administration Health Care system. “He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express his care for others,” his dad said. #AbolishICE #ICEOutOfMinnesota #ProtectNurses #HoldHisKillersAccountable

I don't even know what to say. I feel sick.

When you don’t know for sure that the state law enforcement entities will obey your authority, you do this.

I don't think I need to add any words to the "video is horrific, don't watch it unless you're prepared," but the real concern is it's clear what little discipline ICE had is collapsing under the stress and constant opposition and that's real dangerous.

Jfc it was bad

Legitimately, welcome to THE RUNNING MAN.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

Has anyone wondered if Trump wants to put a concentration camp in Greenland and let people freeze to death?

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.

I need to unfollow every Senator because everything they post just pisses me off.

Being an American of Acadian, Scottish and Welsh descent and being hated by a Brit because of my country's leader is a helluva historical Uno Reverse.

I just wish @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would be transparent about exactly why they're not actively seeking to impeach Trump right now. Like this is madness. Is it because they think JD Vance would be worse? I don't know how.

Wake me up when he go-goes I don't wanna miss it when you hit that hiiiigh

got my hopes WAY UP for what sounds like a mere mechanical issue on Air Force One still, nice to be reminded it’s going to happen one day

WE SHOULDN'T USE POLLING TO TELL US WHAT OUR VALUES ARE, WE SHOULD USE POLLING TO FURTHER ADVANCE THE CAUSES WE VALUE.

Democrats failed to push back on the bizarre claims of forced gender assignment surgeries and claims of genital mutilations on children. Republicans spend a lot of effort on making Democrats seem like the fascists you need to be afraid of.

Already trying to just move on.

At this point it feels like Democrats are trying to distract us from concentration camps and WWIII.

Senators keep trying to pivot to affordability, but maybe most Americans just don't want WWIII.
