The regime just lies. Don’t believe a thing they say.

This makes sense because if there's one thing @mayorbowser.dc.gov loves more than cars speeding through downtown, it's collaborating with the trump administration

Last year Congress blew a $1.1 billion hole in DC's budget. Now they're trying to do it again. Two new bills are attempting to take away nearly $700M of DC's own local tax money. They're anti-democratic, anti-family, and wrong. Here are four ways you can help stop them: freedcproject.org/money

What do you mean "create a code of conduct" there already IS a code of conduct that prohibits murdering people who are not using violent force. It is called the US Constitution. If that's not binding ICE, neither will your agreement.

Judges have already ordered ICE to wear body cams and it doesn't stop them from lying and doing violence. The guy who shot Renee Good was literally filming himself doing it.

Body cams will do nothing to change them. They murder people in broad daylight with 100s of witnesses filming them. Defund. Abolish. Prosecute.

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

NoMa report: Roads are plowed. Bikeways kinda ok. Walking looks like this: We are a walkable city - why not prioritize walking and transit access?? People in wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, or with little kids are pretty much homebound and it's 100% avoidable. #bikedc #walkdc

You cannot reform this. The only solution is to completely abolish ICE, and investigate and prosecute those who have been found to have violated the law and people’s rights… starting with Miller and Noem.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

And that’s what they do when they know we’re watching. I shudder to imagine what they’re doing when no one’s there to film. Yes, abolish ICE. Arrest and prosecute them for their crimes.

Yes, this changes nothing and we still have to ride ICE / CBP out of town on a rail, get justice for their crimes, plus all missing people (CHILDREN!) accounted for / returned. We have to be relentless in demanding ALL of the above, too many Democratic politicians are satisfied with cosmetic wins.

ICE wants to use violence to stop us from exercising our constitutional rights. Over the weekend, they murdered a man. Tonight, 87,000 new people (so far) will get trained to continue his work. Join the No Kings coalition for a mass ICE Watch training:

There is no way to justify the killing of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who was defending his community. The senseless kidnappings, separation of families, racial profiling, denial of due process, and crackdown on protest must end. DC stands with Minnesota.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

“That children and their parents would risk retribution under these conditions to speak up is a testament both to how courageous they are and how abysmal the conditions of this place is,” he said.

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians. Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

ICE shot an unarmed observer when they knew they were being filmed by dozens. What are they doing when we’re not watching?

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

1. ICE must leave Minneapolis. 2. Congress should not fund this version of ICE - that is seeking confirmation, chaos and dystopia.

This is a pathetic attempt at communication, and your comms staff know better. EXPLAIN THE PLAN. New Yorkers, Schumer's office numbers for you: NYC: (212) 486-4430 DC: (202) 224-6542 Find other numbers here: www.schumer.senate.gov/contact

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

cannot stress enough that there is less than zero reason to believe the word of anyone who works at DHS or in the Trump administration on this stuff. they lie like they breathe

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. 📷️: Sydney Lewis/The Minnesota Star Tribune

There’s video now. Worst thing I’ve ever seen. The entire ICE contingent needs to be arrested

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

They did this to a white male veteran abcnews.go.com/US/army-vet-...

I've seen several popular movements in my lifetime and history now as someone who teaches comparative politics. When people show up in the dead of winter, on a workday, when it is the most inconvenient because of cold, it shows how strongly they are motivated against the government.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

So once ice vehicles have been discovered and are being followed, they often become incapable of doing their sinister work. This is why people risk their lives to tail federal agents, all over the twin cities and the suburbs.

Me my whole life: Nothing is black and white. You have to consider nuance Now: We face a heinous, remorseless evil

Videos show dozens of incidents of immigration agents using life-threatening tactics. In nearly 20 cases, agents appear to use neck restraints that the Department of Homeland Security prohibits unless there is a threat of deadly or serious harm.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Update: @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has now come out against funding DHS & ICE state-sanctioned domestic terrorists. Thank you Rep Jeffries. Still radio silence from Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov on whether or not he’s willing to do the bare minimum to oppose the American Gestapo

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

I'm sorry if this sounds radical, but I don't think Dems should be voting to give this deeply unpopular, lawless, fascistic secret police force billions more dollars.

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

I left Klobuchar a long message today talking about how I watched ICE agents kneel on a person's head in a snow bank and told her that if she gives ICE another dime, I will be doing everything in my power as a DFL volunteer to ensure she never holds office again.
