Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

Trump and ICE never would have had the opportunity to shoot Good in the face if we had a functioning media and algorithms weren't allowed to run loose, incentivizing lies and amplifying hate. Media capture is the biggest problem because it keeps poisoning our public discourse away from the truth.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

We are not safe. Who feels comfortable enough in America to sleep tonight? Follow me @electroboyusa.bsky.social to fight #ICE

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

We can not underestimate the toll this cruelty and corruption is having on us. Reach out to good people in your life. Continue to build community and care for each other.

Justice means changing the system that allowed this to happen. Urge your Senators to start proceedings to abolish ICE – (202) 224-3121. And register to vote. #SayTheirNames #RegisterDemocrats #Voterizer social.fieldteam6.org/s/94Z0lUEM #sheshed

Minneapolis tonight 💔

Maybe the worst thing about 2025 was the Democratic Party refusing to be an effective opposition. Cowardice or complicity or cluelessness. they’re killing hope for millions and millions of decent hard working people. How can they talk about costs when they refuse to address the safety of citizens?

My wife, a Minneapolis native, reminding me it's dead of night in Minnesota in January, below freezing, and there's thousands of people outside

there is no reason to vote for anything or move any process along at all until the lawlessness ends, at minimum

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

This is how ICE agents responded after watching a mother of three bleed out in her car after they shot her multiple times in the head.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

The next time trump sets foot in a blue state should be his last as a free person.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

My heart is so heavy right now. It shouldn't take another murder to get people to wake up. The stacks of Black and brown bodies weren't enough to convince you?

There is absolutely no reason for Dems to vote for GOP nominees, to facilitate the smooth operation of Congress, nor to withhold impeachment of the President and his appointees. Do it all.

Your town likely will have protests in the coming days. Show up and speak out. If you encounter any pushback during the protest, document it. Film it. Publicize it. Outrage has become necessary. Harness that outrage and use it to effect positive change. Be outraged, but be wise.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

Is Your Democratic Rep On This List? Last summer, these 75 Dems voted with MAGA Republicans to "express gratitude to ICE." These corporate Democrats then called for greater state and local collaboration with ICE fascists. Most of them are running for re-election. Some for US Senate. Vote Them OUT.

And this is why we protested against The Patriot Act and the forming of DHS, TSA, etc. Because anyone with half a brain could see that this was the end result of those actions. Democrats and Republicans who almost unanimously voted for all of those things are responsible.

Healthcare subsidies are gone. EBT/Food assistance is gone. Childcare funding is gone. The Department of Education is nearly gone. All other agencies besides Defense have been gutted and function at a lower level. WHAT ARE WE FUNDING BESIDES BILLIOAIRES? Shut it down.

The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.” They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity. I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

Really is

I’m sick to my stomach at this regime and the hoard of psychopaths it has unleashed

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week. None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

Yep

Jacob Frey: "I mean, let's call a spade a spade here. I was listening to Kristi Noem speak minutes ago, and it sounded to me like someone that didn't believe a word that they themselves were saying. Let's be straightforward about this: this is not about safety, this is about terrorizing people."

“ICE claims in its own mission statement the whole point of the organization is to ‘ensure the safety of the public and our communities.’ In what world does this ensure public safety? I can’t see how a community could possibly be protected by the same people who are actively coming to kill them.”

🦋NO PAYWALL🦋

Also because ICE gassed kids at a high school

Make it viral.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

I don't think some people realize what the President already making it plain he considers it a justified shooting is really going to mean.

“If Iran shots [sic] and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue.” Dj $rump. Okay so who’s gonna rescue us?

Those EPSTEIN FILES MUST BE HORRIBLE!!!!!!

Abolish and prosecute every single ICE agent. Prosecute every single person in this administration.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Our government is in the control of violent terrorists. They have just committed another murder in broad daylight. They are immoral, illegal and illegitimate. They must all be impeached, removed from their positions, and brought to justice.

Minneapolis.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
