I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

7 Democrats and 213 Republicans voted to fund a masked, armed terror group to kill US citizens. For our border "security." ICE will continue killing because it sees us as the enemy.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Senate Dems looked advocates in the eye and swore up and down that they wouldn't use IRS as a piggybank. Sure, Jan. The approps minibus released today quietly rescinds another $11.7 billion from Inflation Reduction Act's long-term investment in IRS, this time from the IRS ops account (Sec 528)

CBS buried an interview with a 25 year police veteran who clearly explains why ICE’s killing of Renee Good in Minnesota was unlawful and unjustified—just like they did with CECOT. So I’m airing it. This is the danger of billionaire owned media and censorship under the Trump regime.

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world. But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

I don’t think nearly enough people are willing to connect the dots between the all hands on deck effort to discredit and ban critical histories, even those that sought to expand the “patriotic” vision like the 1619 Project, and our current moment where this vision is now supposedly hegemonic.

Elias, one of the immigrants in this case, was detained by ICE on his way to his dialysis treatment. It was one of countless warrantless ICE arrests we've seen in DC. While detained, Elias was denied the care he needed and his health worsened. He died last week — just days before this ruling.

Update: Ward 7 Councilmember Wendell Felder withdrew his bill that would have delayed ranked-choice voting in D.C., mostly over procedural concerns with his bill. Emergency legislation can't carry a cost, and there were arguments that Felder's bill would cost the elections board money.
