The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

At the very least every Democratic officeholder or candidate should be calling for the impeachment and/or arrest of Noem, Homan, and Bovino.

Bare minimum.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Renee Good Family’s Lawyer: We gave the federal government a letter of preservation last week. We asked them to preserve that vehicle to make sure that it’s stored in a safe manner so that none of the evidence gets altered…That is an example of one piece of evidence that we don’t have access to.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Hey, as we all watch the dementia-addled psychotic president of the United States ramble incoherently on a global stage, I'd just like to say on behalf of all Americans:

Al Gore loudly booing a US Commerce Secretary at a bankers’ forum should be a Futurama joke instead of real life.

Trump: "I should've gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don't say that. I saved millions & millions of people. And don't let anybody tell you Norway doesn't control the shots, ok? It's in Norway. It's a joke. They lost such prestige. That's why I have such respect for what Maria did."

CONFIRMED:

Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.

They were 100% right.

Venezuela is a Diversion. The administration went into Venezuela on the same day the Department of Justice (DOJ) faced a statutory deadline to justify redactions in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

My story:
Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home
DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.

This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

trump and his republican party are infected with the same death cult imperialism that brought the world to cataclysm twice in the twentieth century. there's no reasonable sane sensible foreign policy way of dressing up this "strategic logic." history is explicit: this is madness.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
