After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

I see we’re at the, “C’mon, the Alabama state troopers were really being treated disrespectfully at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Also, a couple of them got scratches that day,” level of ICE apologetics.

fellow journalists’ reports from minneapolis are hitting like dispatches from the frontlines of a civil war

"Ice is not about law enforcement. What we are witnessing is a Gestapo-style operation focused on spectacle and fear, coercion, intimidation, violence and abuse. This cannot stand. This must stop." Yes, I’m angry. My video:

🚨BREAKING: The Virginia House of Delegates approved a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment Wednesday that would allow lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional districts mid-decade, a significant step toward countering nationwide GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

CONGRESS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY to use the power of the purse Refuse to vote for any FY2026 appropriation bill that includes funding for ICE or CBP Including Funds for DETENTION Don't vote for any DHS appropriation bill Your VOICE MATTERS PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES 202 202 224-3121

Thanks, Malena! Instead of yelling at Democrats in the minority, imagine if we all focused on holding the GOP accountable — the ones who actually control Congress. Support the reps fighting for us every day, and make sure our voices are heard loud and clear!

Thousands are alive today because Tante Truus refused to accept what many would probably think was impossible. She focused on the children and on what could be done - what had to be done to save lives. youtu.be/IZTuwPEiW-o... 10/10

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump? When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

Mike Johnson-proving he can be every bit the monster that is Donald Trump-says ICE was designed to assault children and shoot their moms in the head

This is the Ted Cruz-iest Ted Cruzing paragraph I think I’ve ever read (Via www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

They're thieves as well. Expect more of this. So many laws broken and so little accountability.

AOC: I certainly do not support the continued expansion of ICE funding, and I think that's a pretty broad sentiment among Democrats.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?

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

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

4,500 names released. www.thedailybeast.com/personal-det...

Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed legislation that would allow New York residents to sue ICE agents in state court for civil rights violations, an escalation of efforts by Democratic-led states to rein in the agency.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

ICE are thug scum.

The day after the 2024 election, I woke my then-3-year-old daughter up for school and searched for the right words when she looked up at me through groggy eyes and asked, “Did Kah-mama win, Mommy?” 🥹 www.thecut.com/article/rene...

Her last words were "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." Then the ICE agent shot her. Renee Good is the ninth person federal immigration agents have shot since September. She's the only one whose name you know. I tried to find the other eight. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Navarro says it plainly like few others can.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

If you don't understand what this means then you will be food for the fascists youtu.be/-_JBsmk6_zA?...

This is the same playbook Trump used with banks & other investors for decades. Get them so deep into your mess that they end up even worse if they allow you to fail. So he argues they have to stick with him or everything will fall apart and be a disaster. Too leveraged to fail.

ICE OUT IMPEACH Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Renee Good was not a domestic terrorist she was an American citizen Who was murdered by an ICE AGENT Johnathan Ross We wont stand down until there is Justice For Renee Good #Demcast #ProudBlue ##Demvoice1

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing. This is not an investigation. It's authoritarian propaganda.

Ken Klippenstein managing to do more actual journalism with a Substack, a Signal account, and not much else than the entire staff of the NYT and WaPo put together is incredibly depressing

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Show this & all the other videos like to everyone you know - especially folks not on these apps- the country needs to see this terror campaign as it happens.

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

JUST IN: Judge Mehta rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris — violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Why is trump afraid of Minneapolis? substack.com/home/post/p-...

/3. My dad

What does he consider “hateful”? “I don’t hate you, man” Or “F’ing bitch”?

OUT OF CONTROL...THIS HAS TO STOP....ICE GOT BUTTHURT BECAUSE HE TAUNTED THEM, NO WEAPONS, JUST HIS VOICE.

Rest in peace.
