Thank you, Mr. President.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This is incredible. Sound up.

Not to agitate my North American friends, but it's currently 7°C (45°F) here in Reykjavík and hasn't snowed all month. I haven't worn my big winter coat in a week. Our local mountain, Esjan, basically has no snow. Pic from earlier this month; less snow now! #iceland #climate #aurora #northernlights

Remember: Republicans can stop all this nonsense anytime they want. But they will not.

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.”

You can’t just say “Abolish ICE”. You also have to say “Abolish ICE and throw every person working in the agency into federal prison for crimes against humanity”.

Yes because then they’d have to face the reality of what people think of them

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

ICE is funded by the Federal Government, and the US is recognized as a global STATE (think Marco Rubio, Secretary of STATE, or the STATE Department). ICE is a STATE funded terrorist organization, but the feds, not individual states.

This sums it up.

Now would an excellent time for military leaders that actually stand for the constitution to make their voices heard.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

. The people that currently constitute the Democrat Party are incapable of action this harsh. Witness Garland's reluctance, if not refusal to deal with trump and Biden's silence on the subject - all that counts are their lack of results! .

Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan beat Sascha to near death. Clarence was there too. Those men paid for the privilege of beating and torturing children.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

English writer Virginia Woolf was born #OTD in 1882. Woolf is considered one of the most important modernist 20th-century authors and a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. #literature #litsky #booksky newyorker.com/magazine/195...

Well thanks Bluesky for being so predictable. I have turned off replies to yesterday's post. I really don't give a flying fuck where you all think I should buy books from. I don't want to hear it AT ALL. That's me being polite.

Thanks Simon for this important piece! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-courag...

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

Face it. ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should. It is time to defund ICE! Repost if you agree #BlueCrew

Woah! Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats!

From my hometown of Forest Lake: "Ice is working with Forest Lake police. Police are asking apartment complexes for access to buildings for 'possible medical emergencies' shortly after they requested that ice was in my building knocking on doors."

Jack Smith: “The investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity — no one should be above the law in this country & the law required he be held to account”

Isn't it awful that Jim Jordan didn't even pass the Bar Exam and further kinda makes him a dick of a Judicial Chairman when he isn't even qualified?! We the ( D)s have at our side Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives. Constitutional lawyer. 💙⚖️

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in: “I love my country.” “I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.” “My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

Please, please 🛑 STOP voting for Republicans in the USA…As long as they have any power at all our lives will continue to worsen. It is not a total solution, true; however, it is a way to mitigate the lasting damage their fear-mongering and hypocrisy create…👍😡

NEW: I'm releasing tomorrow's show tonight. It's too important. An internal DHS memo instructs ICE to kick your door in without a proper warrant. Please share widely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZY...
