This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

The victim's brother said that ICE agent approached from the passenger side of the car, stuck his hand in through the window, and opened fire. He says that ICE officers kept shooting even as the car had come to a stop and was put into park.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

“For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large who are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.” — Marco Rubio, 2016

Not only very reminiscent of Renee Good but also Marimar Martinez who was shot six times in her car and remarkably survived.

ICE agents weren't wearing body cameras when they killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. The three men who were with him are reportedly being detained separately and getting pressured to self-deport — while refuting ICE’s story. What is ICE trying to cover up?

Lorenzo’s Salgado's brother Victor told his lawyer that the agent who pulled his brother out of the vehicle and cuffed him on the ground as he bled out asked in a mocking tone “Se querían escapar, verdad?” which means. “You wanted to escape, right?” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

So ICE has thugs wearing “media” vests and masks filming protesters, something that is totally normal in a democracy www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Three witnesses were in the van with Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Per their attorney: no ramming, no danger to agents & no reasonable basis to open fire Unreasonable force opens these agents to liability This is becoming another national outrage & it should be👇 -TN

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

We could have had everything in America. We destroyed ourselves due to racism and greed. It's so painful and pitiful.

The racism Kat endured and had to straight up ignore during the campaign was unreal. Several people claimed that she was running to “embarrass Jews.” Other said she was part of Hamas. The government tried to charge her for being part of Antifa. Enough of this libelous shit, @chicagotribune.com.

Last 4th of July, a dad had a kid run up to us and ask why I supported Hamas. During a parade. I’m Palestinian, I’m used to it. But goddamn, be better.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

Miklós Horthy did it. Benito Mussolini did it. Adolf Hitler did it. Francisco Franco did it. Augusto Pinochet did it. Jorge Rafael Videla did it. Now Donald Trump does it. Did what? Used the threat of Communism to justify a dictatorship.
