NEW: Minnesota BCA was denied access to the crime scene. They got a WARRANT and DHS STILL BLOCKED THEM. So DHS doesn’t need a warrant to enter your house, but an actual warrant to enter the crime scene is denied?

Moscow is deliberately targeting energy infrastructure to trigger a humanitarian disaster in Kyiv and other major cities, aiming to freeze civilians into submission and force Kyiv to surrender.

He’s lied in court under oath multiple times. Just the perjury charges alone would do the job.
I think it is important that Greg Bovino, personally, is prosecuted for what he has done and continues to do in service of all of this
Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

Just to be clear, when I (and I think most people) say ICE, I am using it as shorthand for ICE, CBP, and all other so-called "law enforcement" agencies withing the Department of Homeland Security.
And when I say "Abolish Ice", I'm including all of those.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

After the Boston Slave Riot in 1854, a group of Harvard faculty formed a vigilance committee, to walk the streets of Cambridge, MA and chase off slave hunters. Being academics, they of course appointed a club secretary, who noted that they planned to "brandish clubs or crude bludgeons." -OS

Watching video of Noem lying about the Pretti murder. She is as an accessary after the fact and, I would argue, part of a criminal conspiracy leading to this homicide.
DOJ won't investigate her, but the Congress should immediately introduce Articles of impeachment against her, indict, and convict.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Alex Pretti served as a nurse in the intensive care unit of the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. He cared for the most vulnerable patients in the veteran population. I've been thinking the veterans who received care from him. Some homeless, some without family. He was there for them.

Just yesterday, seven House Democrats voted to fully fund ICE
If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
