Spartacus is 100% correct. This shit has to stop with these ICE murders. WTF???
ICE violence on the streets of Minneapolis is accelerating toward the IDF of the streets of Gaza

Donald Trump really hasn't thought this though. The consequenses for him and his family WILL BE DIRE.

As they will for the WHOLE of his administration. They thought they would be protected. Fuck that.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Damn right!
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

Releasing the Epstein files isn't voluntary, it's a legal requirement.

This arctic hellscape about to take over the US is one of the few and rare cases where the NE isn't getting 10 ft of snow. All I have to worry about is my feathered friends, coop lockdown in 3..2..1..

Today was about letting the people see the difference between noise and credibility.

Jack Smith had the facts and stood on business, while others focused on distractions instead of substance.
