ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Change. In. Abstract. Passive voice as active choice.

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.

A point that needs to be made over and over again rn. What we're watching has extremely little to do with immigration enforcement. Its a bunch of thugs basically in a state of rioting bc theyve lost their minds and dont think there will be consequences for their behavior

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.

He did it. He actually did it.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

Hey, Chicago! @historians.org panel on civic engagement yesterday and a big public research session today for @chicagocovenants.bsky.social. It’s great to be back.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.

What the fuck are we gonna do, get these guys who have been smashing windows to drag mothers out of cars and leave their infants abandoned in the back to just do good detective work or some shit? Gimme a break. It has to go and the people who staffed it have to go.

don’t really know how much clearer they can be about the fact that they want to murder everyone who disagrees with them these are evil, dangerous people and need to be approached as such

States can create citizen militias independent of the National Guard. I’d like to see governors and state legislators think creatively about that power when it comes to monitoring federal agents operating in their state, particularly if they don’t trust police forces to do so.

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

"Please avoid this area" is a message of support for ICE and DHS. Elected leaders in Minneapolis should tell every resident to head down there to protest the federal government into leaving.

Tim Walz needs to order the MN state police to arrest this ICE agent:

having seen the video at this point, they are lying, this was cold blooded murder in broad daylight

It looks like a cold-blooding killing by an ICE agent to a person who wasn’t doing anything to them.

I want to see the ICE shooter arrested today. Today.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

For me J6 was a final, unmistakable signal: this is all out in the open. There are no more dog whistles, no more hints & suggestions. Nothing is hidden. Words are pointless -- there's nothing to uncover, nothing to point out. If you see this & continue down the same path, *it's because you want it*.

they are completely serious about this and may legitimately shatter every post-WW2 relationship with Europe over trying to take over an island that wants nothing to do with us

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is. It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace. It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

if pretending we're better than blowing up innocent foreigners gets us to stop blowing up innocent foreigners, I am more than happy to fake it

The New York Times and Washington Post learned of the impending commission of a major crime and did nothing

Compare this to Biden leaving Afghanistan & think about what the incentives are for every American politician

The Trump regime repeatedly lied to Congress about their intention to pursue regime change in Venezuela. They didn’t get Congressional approval for regime change, but did it anyway. Demanding a briefing in response is both pathetic and nonsensical. Calling for impeachment is the obvious response.

NO WAR. FULL STOP. Trump has already launched an unconstitutional war for oil. We’re organizing now. Join us TODAY for a protest sign–making party at campaign HQ as we prepare for the larger Emergency Day of Action downtown opposing war on Venezuela. 🕝 2:30–3:30 PM 📍 7016 N Clark St, Rogers Park

America is not going to be rescued from utter fascism by Democrats, at least not those currently in power.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

They belong in the Hague.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Our media is complete dogshit. Apparently to end a war, you have to do it in flawless fashion but to start one you can do any old illegal insane operation under any false pretense and they will celebrate it.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

We have to impeach him.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.
