“De-escalation”

Interesting …

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

The arrest of Don Lemon and another journalist and the raid on Fulton County elections office really have to be seen first and foremost as a top-down and nakedly political (i.e. directed at Democrats only ) assault on first amendment protections

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Ugh We need new @democrats.senate.gov leadership. No funding for ICE @schumer.senate.gov WTF are you thinking while Americans are dying and their right are being trampled?

So…about last night

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Can we talk about the fraud happening in Florida?

Good thread from @kyledcheney.bsky.social —>

Extortion is completely on-brand.

The only ways to "lower the temperature" in the conflict between this administration and the American people is for our government to stop murdering us, stop kidnapping innocent people, stop terrorizing our cities, stop serially violating the law and stop lying about what they are doing.

Q: Five people also died in immigration detention so far this year. Why is immigration enforcement becoming so deadly under your tenure? NOEM: Immigration enforcement is exactly what the American people asked for

Don't believe your lying eyes:

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

ACLU plaintiffs sh make motion for reconsideration to 8th circuit to dissolve stay on district ct injunction that would cover most of the reign of lawlessness this am in Minn: pepper spray, beatings, killings, all v peaceful protesters. add some measure to protect crime scenes from fed destruction

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

Remove them. Defund them. Abolish them. Prosecute them.

What is your position on ICE funding @baldwin.senate.gov ? The only appropriate answer is f*ck no.

That means you @schumer.senate.gov

ENOUGH!

Mike Lynch is Schumer's Chief of Staff ([email protected]), Tasia Jackson is Jeffries' CoS ([email protected]). Write to them. Their bosses need to step up. @filipecampante.bsky.social's post below gives you the reason why.

Video proves beyond a doubt that ICE murdered Alex Pretti in cold blood, he never unholstered his weapon, and was disarmed when the regime thugs shot and executed him. This was 100% intentional. It's a homicide. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Walz: "We sill investigate this. We will not be stonewalled ... this will end when enough American say this will end. Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing? No ... quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement."

Reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this and Republicans called him a hero

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

Does anyone have this bystander’s video? Please share.

There's now a clear pattern where immigration agents shoot and kill people and DHS immediately lies about it. But their speculation today that this guy repeatedly shot while lying on the ground wanted "to massacre" agents seems like a new level of dishonestly. There is zero evidence of that.

A magistrate judge found no probable cause to support arrest warrants for 5 people involved in the St. Paul church protest. DOJ appealed to the 8th Cir. That appeal led to this remarkable letter from the Chief Judge of the Minnesota district court… storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Live on MS NOW: A man being pinned down by multiple federal agents. He is shouting that he's a U.S. citizen and adds: "I have done nothing wrong." To the side: A woman sobs on the street. She says she's the man's wife. She says they were just running away from the tear gas when he was taken.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Look what you've allowed @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - another ICE murder.

7 Democrats — with the blessing of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership — just voted with Republicans to give these agents even more money

The second most disturbing thing about today's ICE murder is that ICE rounded up and removed the witnesses. I just pray that woman in pink (and anyone else) texted her video to a friend first.

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

And reports are that ICE removed ALL the witnesses from the scene - transporting them to the Whipple building?! Next they'll be destroying the other videos. I guess it's illegal to witness an ICE murder now. JFC.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

!!!!!!!

While @klobuchar.senate.gov has been running around MN for photo ops, her constituents are being murdered.

@democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @pocan.house.gov I give Dem candidates money all the time. No more until you FINALLY DO SOMETHING.
