Do not let temporary emotions make permanent decisions, because how you feel today is not always a reflection of what your future can become.

jesus christ, fuck playstation

Let's not forget the Republicans have been tearing down the supports for democracy since the Regan era. They are the reason civics class is no longer required for graduation in high school. Book banning, starving public schools, it's all part of the plan. Ignorant people are easier to rule.

when AO3 is back it would be a great time to donate to AO3! you miss it so much when it's down, support it 💖

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

The world of Sotheby's International Realty is a vast one, and let's see how many I can come across in my travels!

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away. We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive. #FreeTheChildren

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it. He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America. Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

Maybe they'll find the Epstein files in the Fulton County Board of Elections office . . .

Spotted in my garage, my amazing new Tesla Model Y. And the last look before the experts at @fidetailingusa wrap her in a brand new style of PPF from CeramicPro. Wait for the results.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

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."

As the Supreme Court continues to delay issuing a ruling on tariffs, the Constitution remains as clear as ever. Article 1, Section 8, lists the "enumerated powers" reserved exclusively to Congress, including the power to levy duties (tariffs). Only Congress, not the President, can set tariffs.

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

Not all ice is bad

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: “ICE are the victims”

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

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.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF

Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot and killed by ICE agents on Saturday.

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Just shot from my window

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.” -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Makes you think about accountability at home as well as abroad.

For Trump to say theres a need to change leadership in other countries I'd say it's time to say the same for the United States.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

If ICE is stopping and detaining people based on their skin color and/or accent, what they are doing is essentially an ethnic cleansing campaign.

I'm hoping the EU goes "the full Carney" on the USA. Enough of this bullsh*t.

Ain't even mad about that loss. Hell of a game, incredible season. That CW touchdown pass to take it to overtime was an all-timer. This team has something truly special brewing. 🐻⬇️

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

When ICE fires multiple chemical rounds directly at the head of a praying, priest, DOJ concludes it is completely justified. When protestors make noise during a sermon by a right-wing ICE pastor, DOJ announces a major investigation. It's not about immigration; it's about control.

Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis. Maybe I'm wrong, but 1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city. 2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis. 3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Protecting people is my job. No one—not this administration, not ICE—will keep me from doing it. I sat down with @newyorker.com to talk about why I’m not backing down in the face of political intimidation.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.
