This was murder. I’ve seen cases where police shootings were justified because a driver posed an immediate threat to officers or bystanders, but this was clearly not one of those situations.
I hope this is a wake-up call to Americans that we will not tolerate secret police ICE thugs and fascists.

After a federal immigration officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday, police removed barricades and left the scene. As they walked, hundreds of protesters followed them, pelting them with snowballs and chanting, “ICE out now!” Follow updates.
Minneapolis ICE Shooting Live Updates: Agent Kills Woman Amid Immigration Crackdown
Federal officials said a 37-year-old woman was trying to kill agents with a car in Minneapolis. City and state officials called that account false, demanding an end to the immigration crackdown.

Trump is deporting people involved in pro-Palestine protests even if they have green cards (permanent legal residents).
Seems like boycotting the vote for Kamala is working out really well huh? Dearborn Michigan? Still awfully quiet about the guy who wants to turn Palestine into a parking lot.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

Not that anyone asked, but just sharing some insight on how things are going in DC. I know a few people who lost their jobs thanks to DOGE, and they as well as many others are thinking about moving elsewhere/back home. The job market here was already flooded—now it’s completely overwhelmed.

Imminent tax cuts totaling $4 trillion for the wealthy, tariffs on imports to disproportionately tax the middle and lower classes, all while paying for some of it by destroying the government to cover costs. Thanks to people who continue to vote for their own demise. Such a damn shame.

Yeah… anyone else teetering at that level where you already have a ton of caffeine daily (~500+ mg) and it does nothing, but going any higher would just cause severe anxiety?
Surely it has nothing to do with constant unprecedented events and collective trauma.

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:

At this point, Trump seems mostly like a figurehead for Project 2025, with the right-wing offering political and financial backing to boost his return to the Oval Office—in exchange for advancing their agenda and helping him avoid jail. Makes me wonder if he knows he’s being played like a fiddle.

It’d be nice if news networks continued the trend of cutting away from Trump, but this time just not air a single word he says.

Great interview. @aoc.bsky.social perfectly speaks to what I’ve felt since 2016: Dems must fight fire with fire. We can’t go from calling him a tyrant to shaking his hand on Inauguration Day out of respect for tradition without everything looking like one big performance. youtu.be/eeheoxWzf2o?...

It’s remarkable how swiftly Republicans in Congress can unite to pass legislation targeting and vilifying immigrants, yet when hundreds of people are shot weekly by fellow American citizens, addressing that issue somehow becomes too complex for them.
