My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

I would like for people to agree that being a decent human being is not a prerequisite for having inalienable rights.
I don't stop fighting for the equal human and civil rights of the women who would deny those rights to me.
I'm straight, cis, and married to a dude for 30 years. I have no say in how the LGBTQIA+ community responds to this kind of information, and I will always follow their lead.

What elected Dems can’t say but that we should is:
ICE also shouldn’t be arresting child molesters. If we suspect someone is a child molester the real police should arrest them with a real warrant and put them on real trial and punish them according to a sentence handed down by a real judge

When Lauren Witzke sounds antisemitic, she's definitely being antisemitic. She's promoted literal, classic blood libel before.
She means Jewish. We gotta start calling this shit out. This rhetoric is all over rightwing spaces now. It’s being embraced by people who would have rejected it out of hand as preposterous a decade ago. It’s dangerous as hell. She means Jewish.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

They are trying to whip people into a frenzy, in the hopes that someone will do something violent, or we’ll riot, and give them an excuse. It’s not a coincidence that JD Vance is coming tomorrow. Again, every journalist on the ground knows this, but we’ll see if their editors will let them say it.

If you’re on the ground, it is absolutely unmistakable what they’re doing. Bovino has gone to multiple gas stations, with a massive convoy, gotten out of the car, and strolled into the street and posed for ten minutes at a time. No gas, no food, no bathroom. Just over and over in sequence.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

Orin is probably the preeminent fourth amendment scholar in the United States. He is also extremely professional. This is the way he says "I wish a bitch would try"
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
