Armenian Worker in Van Nuys Responds to Dr. Oz: I’ve been an American citizen for 26 years. We are hardworking. I’ve worked here almost 20 years. We are in the United States. It doesn’t matter if you are Mexican, Armenian, Russian—we are all American.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

This brings to mind the important book Incognegro by Mat Johnson en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incogne...

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

A real nightmare…

Ilhan Omar: “Nobody should ever have hired Stephen Miller who basically is a copycat of the Nazis, that’s kind of the cruelty that he wants to inflict on people — he should definitely be out for his part in this, definitely should be prosecuted”

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

“Bullying countries into complying with anti-rights and extremist ideology is despicable and unacceptable. The imperialist goals of this administration are on full display in this policy’s conditions to receive U.S. foreign assistance.” - Anu Kumar, Ipas President

A couple of legal asylum seekers were with their one month old baby in the car when ICE smashed their car windows and dragged the husband out and took him away, leaving the mom terrified in the cold without a driver's license, and the baby covered in broken glass. www.rawstory.com/ice-arrest-2...

"constantly making concessions is not a good thing." I agree with Kelly entirely.

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

📹 NEW from KSDK News: hundreds of people in St. Louis marched to Enterprise Center on Wednesday and dropped a banner to demand Enterprise end *every* contract it has with ICE!

I was lucky enough to learn my activism from strong black women throughout my life. It is the main reason I've always called the USA one big sundown town. Sad to see it has to come to this before actions are taken, but that doesn't mean it's too late to teach, and learn from our country's history.

You have the right to ask to see the warrant 📌You have the right to refuse entry without a judicial warrant 📌You have the right to remain silent Door-to-door enforcement without judicial oversight is not “law and order.” #NoWarrantNoICE

You always see the press silenced or killed before human rights violations. What does anyone expect at this point?

#GeneralStrikes to #DefundFascism Boycott EVERYTHING.

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

Gaslighting the American citizens seems to be going well for them lately. How much longer are we going to allow the corruption enabled by both parties ? Too many are already funded by foreign interests and many will need to be removed at the end of this nightmare either way.

MILAN MAYOR SALA: “.. This is a militia that kills. .. It's a militia that enters people's homes by signing permits for themselves. … It's clear that they're not welcome in Milan, there's no doubt about that." @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-mil...

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

A say no to racism pack for anyone interested.

Anyone who knows what a drop gun is,and has seen the abuse and murder of black Americans since the inception of this country can easily see the gun was cleared to justify murder. This isn't even a new tactic there are just more eyes and cameras on this death.

They're lying!

"Return CBP to the border" Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Does a “reform” further empower your enemies or take power and resources away from them? Some of you need to sit with this question.

Everyone still think athletes will avoid DHS (ICE, CBP etc) racial profiling? #WorldCup ⚽️

BREAKING: Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.

Rep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Chills…

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations
