"Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely."
-- Tom Homan in March

"I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room"
-- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Agents keep detaining Native Americans— especially if they live outside the reservation boundaries.

Minneapolis is the capital of the U.S. right now. Random middle aged aunties on the ground there are showing more physical and moral courage in one volunteer shift than Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have in their entire lives combined.

They went to Minnesota to rendition Somali-Americans because Donald Trump hates Ilhan Omar. That's really the extent of it. And they don't understand why nice white Minnesotans are putting their bodies and lives on the line.

And so those white folks are just a bunch of ni-[CLANG] lovers to them.

If there's one thing I know about racist white people is that they expect all white people to be racist.

So they literally cannot compute why a bunch of white folks would be in the streets when they're not the ones being kidnapped

It is absolutely by design. Theyr’e tired of white people sympathizing with Black and brown folks. That’s why they’re so mad and confused in Minnesota.

All the nice white people yelling at them to get fucked. It’s like their dads are yelling at them in a bathrobe. They can’t cope.
people really like to ignore the "on purpose" part. So easy to talk about how dumb the kids are while ignoring it's by design

Hakeem Jeffries is the House Democratic Follower. You can't name a single policy issue in the last year he's actually led on.

When forming a position, he follows polls, public sentiment and his own caucus members. But he never, ever gets out front to persuade or lead.

153 Democrats just joined 188 Republicans to pass HR 7006, which
•Sends $3.3B to Israel (including offensive weapons)
•Bans any attempt at Palestinian liberation
•Sends $50M to Venezuela

Only 57 Democrats voted no.
