Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Imagine what they do when nobody is recording‼️

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

I’m announcing my plan to take on our broken, corrupt political system: ✅Ban corporate PACs & super PACs ✅Ban lawmakers from trading stocks ✅And require every member of Congress to hold annual town halls This is how we build a government of, by, and for the people.

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this. ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

"He said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, 'No puedo respirar' — Spanish for 'I can’t breathe'..." www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

ICE Agents enter Target with no warrant and violently tackle two American citizen employees, evidently because they didn't "look American" enough. (DHS refused to explain their rationale, so we have to guess.) The injured Americans were later dumped in parking lots miles away in sub-zero weather.

Ms. Cohen is getting to the heart of the matter.

Easily the most cringe-inducing moment of the week. 🤢🤮

I couldn’t have said it better.

"We shouldn't even have an election." –the President of the United States

Can confirm: That was a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

My first live broadcast reporting starts with a bang.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens. Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out. Remember this.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

The FBI searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into classified material, people familiar with the matter said. It is exceedingly rare for federal agents to search a journalist’s home. trib.al/tKsg85n

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

The fact that a NATIVE American CHILD needs proof they "belong" here is the MOST absurd concept‼️

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

How is this not inciting violence? Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity? One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law. Be safe Minneapolis.

ICYMI — @joerogan: “You don’t want militarized people in the streets just roaming around snatching people up… many of which turn out to be 🇺🇸 citizens. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo?” Wait til Joe finds out he helped the guy behind it win the presidency

Murphy: He's trying to convince you that immigrants are the greatest threat to our democracy to hide the fact that Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy… He wants us to be at war with each other as a distraction from the fact he is stealing from the American people

The rest of us remember. And, it's just a matter of time until everything is restored. It will take less than a week to erase most signs of Trump -- like his name on the Kennedy Center, etc...

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

Thanks for pointing this out‼️ Truly terrifying‼️

Sanders: I am very worried that ICE is becoming a domestic army for Trump, and this goes way beyond the issue of immigration. It goes to the movement of this country toward authoritarianism and fear.

Mark Ruffalo telling USA Today that the black-and-white pin he's wearing was in honor of Renee Good. He also speaks out against the war in Venezuela and calls Trump a pedophile and a rapist, 'the worst human being'

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it. Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

Top 4 officials in the Criminal section of the Civil Rights Division resign over Harmeet Dhillon's inexcusable (and inexplicable, under the law and the mission of the Division) decision not even to investigate the Minnesota fatal shooting. This is the very purpose and heartbeat of the section

“They just assaulted him. The whole f*cking thing is absurd.”

The Epstein Files are so much bigger and more damaging than people understand. Men and Boys have always been victims and when this all comes out a lot of people are going to be surprised who did what to GIRLS & BOYS. CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS.
