Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "What we want in these next two weeks is just to make ICE follow the law. No more of these roving patrols through the cities in which they're demanding that American citizens show their papers. That's what happened in Stalin's Russia."

Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "If you're a conservative in this country, you should care about the fact that your govt is intentionally hurting kids. You should care about the fact that this govt is violating the 4th, 2nd, and 1st Amendment every single day. This is a lawless administration."

A judge denied Minnesota's ambitious request — a day after Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested. But, in Texas, a judge orders 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his dad released.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

When you see all the crazy anti-communist propaganda like this, you need to remember the oath our elected leaders take, "...to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

Because, today, like with HUAC, the enemies are IN our government, not of outside it.

Trump's name appears in the Epstein files A LOT. He is very much implied.

Now it's time to demand accountability. Trump was always there, he participated in the heinous acts and he's lied about it.

MAGA, your leader is no Christian. He is the very evil you pray to be protected from.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "Seeing an American taken to the ground, having his gun removed, being shot in the back 10 times, then having the govt say he was a terrorist all along based on no evidence.. those are kinds of things that as painful as they are, can actually bring together a lot of Americans"

Those who oppose ICE in Minnesota are battling not for a political agenda but for the goal of dissidents throughout history: a normal life, @galbeckerman.bsky.social argues.
The Way to Beat Back Trump Was Just Revealed
There is a word for what ICE’s opponents in Minneapolis represent, and it has a long, successful history: dissidence.

If you thought that electing Trump would make America respected you’re an idiot.

We finally know what happened to DOJ's (frivolous) misconduct complaint against Chief Judge Boasberg:

It was transferred by Chief Justice Roberts from the D.C. Circuit to Sixth Circuit Chief Judge Jeff Sutton, and Sutton dismissed it in a ... direct ... memorandum and order just two weeks later:

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.
