Pro Democracy. I am struggling to understand where I fit in this current dystopian reality. Is up really down and good really bad?

Pro Constitution, pro human rights, pro income equality

Anti MAGA, anti fascism, anti racism

Trump's Thugs Are Not Law Enforcement

In a democracy, law enforcement derives its authority not from weapons or uniforms, but from adherence to the law, internal discipline, and the confidence of the public it serves.

Trump is "locked and loaded" against Iran for not allowing protests there and is also "locked and loaded" here where I C E is now murdering American citizens without accountability.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Too much cash has been thrown at ICE. They seek thousands of terrible people to become heavily armed thugs, unidentified with masked and big SUVs. They have hit pedestrians with their cars. Follow and only protest in huge numbers. Protect yourself.

This is the Portland Police Chief and he breaks down during a Press Conference regarding the shooting of two people yesterday in Portland by Federal Agents. If you’ve forgotten what it was like to have a member of law enforcement with integrity and compassion — let this man be a reminder.

I'm never backing down. I'm going to continue holding this Administration accountable because I won't let them intimidate me or any American out of speaking their mind.

Venezuelan crude is primarily heavy & sour. It's dense, viscous & high in sulfur, requiring complex refining for products like gasoline. While lighter grades exist, the bulk is extra-heavy, with low API gravity and high sulfur making it challenging & expensive for most refineries.

What's he up to?

Oil companies shouldn't know more about Donald Trump's plans in Venezuela than the American people.

I launched an investigation with @whitehouse.senate.gov, because every single American deserves answers.

The Hennepin County DA's Office says they have jurisdiction to prosecute the ICE agent involved in the murder of Renee Good.

Murder is a state crime, so no federal pardon will help.

That said, the federal government and DHS will likely make things as difficult as possible for the DA

MAGA is a cancer that's eating away at our democracy. No matter what's said, no matter what proof is given, they will not listen. Trump is their savior, they can't be convinced otherwise. Everyone else that's decent, respectful, tolerant and patriotic must vote out MAGA. youtube.com/shorts/Qv869...
MAGA wants you dead. Renee Good proves it.

This is absolutely what happened.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
