Here we go! Jack Smith will lay it all out. The felon should have been in prison right now. #JackSmith

Fuck Gym! #TeamJackSmith

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Federal prosecutors have targeted at least five Minnesota Democrats — including Gov. Tim Walz — with grand jury subpoenas, escalating the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) highly political investigation into state officials over their opposition to President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration raids.

The real question I have about the Cook case, given how today's arguments have gone, is why #SCOTUS deferred the application pending argument back in October, rather than just denying it outright.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

apnews.com/live/supreme... stresses Fed's independence and worries about 'search and destroy' campaigns

i know our media class as a rule doesn’t like to read and doesn’t like history but i strongly recommend at least one or two editors out there explain this concept to at least one or two of their reporters

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Gov. Spanberger signed an executive order ending state police cooperation with ICE immediately after being sworn in. Electing Democratic Governors matters.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies. Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie. All of it. Every time.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

RELEASE THE FULL AND UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES NOW.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Republicans insisting the Clintons testify about what’s in the Epstein Files instead of just releasing the Epstein Files is peak idiocy.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

putin found something vastly more effective than his military at destroying the US: republicans. He tried the same tactic with Ukraine - installing a puppet, but Ukrainians were WAY smarter than Americans & they threw putin's puppet out of Ukraine. It's why putin now must use his military on Ukraine

trump along with republicans have successfully executed putin's battleplan

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE. “They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7), which allows the administration to investigate/prosecute individuals believed to be proponents of domestic terrorism and political violence. National safety is paramount, but #NSPM7 is designed to silence political dissent and opposition. #RESIST

JUST IN: New ACLU class action lawsuit in Minnesota seeks to bar ICE from stopping Latino and Somali residents without probable cause. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"One journalist said it was 'nauseating and irresponsible to have our owner remain silent given this unprecedented event.' Another said they were 'disappointed,' though 'not surprised.' A third said, 'If there is a moment to stand up for our journalistic values, this would be it.'"

We are told there isnt enough money for healthcare. Yet Trump is using 30 Billion taxpayer dollars to put more ICE thugs on our streets

The FBI Freeze-out in Minnesota Is a Bigger Deal Than You Think talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-f...

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

“The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

This is a big no-no in armed combat. It’s like dressing up as a doctor or a nurse and then shooting someone. If this is proven accurate, it’s 100% a war crime.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked? We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

If they’re comfortable lying in the face of clear video and witnesses, think about what they do where there’s neither.

NEW: GoFundMe's rules forbid fundraisers tied to legal funds for violent crimes. One for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, currently nearing $500K, changed the language in its description after @wired.com reached out (but not in the images at the top of the page, oops) @dell.bsky.social reports:

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters. Did I get that right?

TWO. Two chances this Supreme Court had to make the right call. One was the simply call January 6 what it was: An insurrection. Even the liberal justices couldn’t do that. The other was to not make sham and politically-motivated investigations an “official act.” And here we fucking are.

“Which is why we are posthumously indicting Paul Revere.”

Reading the Maduro “indictment” I’m suddenly reminded of WHY Gitmo existed and Obama didn’t shut it down. It’s because you can’t KIDNAP people, based on “evidence” you violated rights to obtain, and bring them to trial in U.S. courts.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

So this piece of crap squatting in the White House has decided to engage us in war to gain oil. This is not about drugs. This is about control. This is about him not being held accountable for his crimes. How much does it take until we act against him?

I would think Maduro has head of state immunity from prosecution under international law (with exception for grave human rights violations, see, e.g., Pinochet)
