AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

The post of an absolute madman.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to “own” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

He is a 5-year-old asylum seeker who entered the country legally with his dad. "Liam...is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He comes into class every day and just brightens the room,” his teacher says. Older sibling came home from middle school to find his dad and little brother gone

ICE abducted a 5 year old boy and put him in a Texas detention center. A 5 year old. Liam Ramos. His family was following all legal asylum parameters and were not under deportation orders.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

1000000 percent this

Presidents don't float policies that are opposed by the mass public 86 - 9. This is not normal.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

We have a deeply unwell man in office indulging his imperialistic fantasies.

yes, both centrists & the admin (&, tacility, ice thugs on the ground) bought the 'post-liberal' narrative - that no one *really* believes in it anymore they thought we'd cower in the face of violence & don't have an answer for liberalism's resilience newrepublic.com/article/2053...

if it was 2017, this post would have been a twitter all-timer....

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

Trump seems to be on course to become the first President to direct the use of U.S. military forces against American citizens during peacetime. And he’s doing it in a situation where the “unrest” is mostly peaceful protests resulting from Trump’s efforts to inflame the city.

Don’t ask me to vote for you, volunteer for you, or donate to you unless you are vowing to hold these people criminally liable when you gain power.

Don't worry about Trump cancelling elections. Authoritarians love elections. They get 90% of the vote. They decide who votes and how and how the votes are counted and if the count will be certified..

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Seems noteworthy that China has opened up to visa-free 30 day visits by a long list of countries, including Canada. Canada has agreed to remove duties imposed on Chinese electric vehicles and China will be buying large amounts of Canadian canola seeds. Trump is driving world unification.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

An important fact about Trump is that he hates to fight. He loves to bully and dominate, but in a situation where he is facing someone who can hurt him back he bluffs, bargains, and then runs away.

ICE has become a Trojan horse for rabid Nazis, bloodthirsty Nationalists and gun-toting Nitwits. People are dying in their custody. Americans are being murdered. If democrats think rigorous training will fix what amounts to a domestic terror group, they have not been paying attention.

What a fucking, lying dweeb. Trump is arguably the most dishonest, corrupt, lying politician in American history. The only thing sadder are those who believe his tripe without a shread of evidence.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
