This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

Putin puppet Chump is weakening the United States by breaking our bonds with our longstanding allies.

The goal is to destroy NATO. But that won’t happen.

NATO will stand strong against the United States, which will plummet into the abyss that Putin created.

we all keep finding various ways to make the same point: the US right’s preoccupation with liberty was never intended or imagined to conflict with the domination, oppression, or extermination of a subaltern racialized and gendered Other

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Trump's style and decision-making are horrible: (1) his Greenland threat causes the EU to ready 93 billion in tariffs; (2) no focus on OUR economy drives prices higher & polls lower; (3) readies 1,500 Army troops to invade Minneapolis. Trump is the WINNER of "OWN GOALS." Incompetent, isolated.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!

It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

Appeasing Trump always produces the opposite result the appeasers are hoping to achieve. There are thousands of examples over decades, but somehow people still don’t get it. Bill Cassidy and Europe found out yesterday. Someone else will find out today, then another tomorrow.
