wtf?!? 😡😡😡 l.smartnews.com/p-6VISSMEg/2...

After hearing such terrible news about a lovely person who was just doing what any Mother would do for her children. It seems somehow just not fitting to post anything else today. My heart goes out to Renne Good's family. It is all so terribly sad, and ought never to have happened!

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Initial jobless claims rose by about 8,000 over last week.

Remember the Epstein files, lol? Yeah, we’re never seeing those.

So. We've learned a little more about the shooting, namely that witnesses report that the two ICEholes that got out of the truck gave the driver conflicting orders; one to leave and one to get out of her vehicle. First, here is DHS Use of Force policy in full. 🧵 www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Maybe if you had covered the last woman shot and killed Or given daily coverage to the violence Covered when they shot priests, protesters, and reporters We would be elsewhere #AbolishIce #Inners

Good was a mother of three and had dropped off her six-year-old son at school when she encountered a group of ICE agents, according to her ex-husband.

Garcia: Every American should be outraged by what happened in Minneapolis. The fact that there’s going to be no accountability—or that the DOJ wants to investigate it themselves—is insane. They can’t be trusted to investigate anything.

Had you overthrown them yesterday, today's tyranny sponsored murder would not have happened. What are you going to do tomorrow? Because it ain't gonna stop until brave Americans step up and stop it. We the People have to put our foot down, draw a line, & stand on it until victory or death. Be brave.

Release the files so we can get on with the business of impeaching and removing this piece of 💩.

None of this means I don’t want to see the Epstein files released in their entirety.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

We shouldn’t have to be putting ourselves in mortal peril to keep the federal government accountable. Slightly over half of the American voters made us do so, though. Thanks for that, by the way, American voters.

Remember that time Greg Bovino oversaw a paramilitary attack on an apartment complex inhabited by civilians in the name of chasing Tren de Aragua and they never produced ANY evidence to back that claim? www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Think about how insane this 24 hours was: - Miller talks about seizing Greenland - White House says “force is always an option” (against a NATO ally) - Administration sends Rubio to walk statements back through Congressional leaks that we want to *buy* Greenland, not invade.

This is exactly what I told someone yesterday. Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

DOJ use of force policy. He broke the law and murdered a US citizen. Full stop.

“DHS LEOs should also avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they have no alternative to using deadly force.” In other words, get the fuck out from in front of the car.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

This situation isn’t tenable.

Major issues with basic education=a dumb/insular population; Reagan’s ‘trickle down’ bullshit+rise of corp power; cult-like evangelicals; voting gerrymandering; poor immigration policy; allowing the Clinton weapons ban to elapse under Bush - a melting pot of disaster……

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "There was a time that we could take [the federal government] at their word. That time has long passed. That is why we are calling on ICE to halt all operations in Portland until a full and independent investigation can take place."

The Epstein Files must be horrifying.

The violence, lies, propaganda, assaults on constitutional norms, and attacks on American citizens and states in just the last week are horrifying. It isn’t normal. It’s not okay. It’s not something we should accept. America is an idea. A great one. We need to fight to keep it.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

This popped up for me today, from 2020, a Carter comparison. "America won't be a democracy anymore if a Dem wins in 2020 and fails to ... enact serious change" We all worried Biden wouldn't do enough. We can't make that mistake again: big change is needed. 1/

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

ICE only has about 20-30,000 employees nationwide. Including desk jobs so there's even fewer armed. It's smaller than the NYPD. There's a reason they do their mega raids on one or two cities at a time, and it's not optics. It's because that's all the dudes they've got. Something to keep in mind.

Time to start counting the bodies. Some in ICE will take that statement from Vance as a license to kill. "You called me a name!" Pow! "You throw a snowball at me!" Pow. "You hit me with a sandwich!" Pow! The VP is openly telling these goons to do whatever they want. God help us all.

Vance today publicly told every ICE Agent that they had permission to shoot and kill any protester they believe might obstruct them in any way. Let that sink in. There will be no cosequences.

Good question for Kristi Noem.

Imo we really let people off the hook unjustly when we don’t attempt to campaign in certain places. I feel like we need to set the expectation that Americans should not be voting for the GOP anytime or anywhere.

Trump's M.O. is to drag out legal proceedings until he can escape justice. Releasing only 1% of the Epstein files after DOJ was ordered to release them 3 weeks ago is another attempt to run out the clock. Release them ASAP or throw Pam Bondi in prison, say at Alligator Alley.

Please don't let them get away with the lies about the shooting in Minneapolis. They will just do it again if they do.
