HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

Economist Justin Wolfers on Trump's threat to Powell: “This is the stuff of tinpot dictators. This is the stuff that tends to precede a hyperinflation.”

For those wondering, felon and Hitler enthusiast Trump declaring himself "acting president of Venezuela" is flagrantly illegal and a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty and independence. It's also gross imperialism that threatens global security.

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?

Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.

That matters….

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules.

They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety.

Lawless thugs.

🚨BREAKING: Our cameraman Jon Farina was just struck in the leg by a flash bang ICE fired at unarmed protesters in Minneapolis. "My leg is hurting!"

ICE also fired pepper balls and tear gas. This is happening in AMERICA. LIVE NOW ⬇️

There are WAY more of us than them. They can't shoot, or arrest us all. They're counting on us to be cowed, fearful, to comply unthinkingly. To not do anything to oppose them. We need to prove them wrong. Fascism is here- now.
Organise, unite, know your rights. Speak up, speak out, but fight back

The Border is wide open. They moved thousands of ICE agents to Minneapolis, MN to harass a blue city and state. Those agents have left the border wide open.

PSA: Examples of a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant. ICE cannot enter your home with only an administrative warrant.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

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.

Find a good movie to watch, or read a good book for a couple of hours.
Doom scrolling is something else right now.

2026 just got real.

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.

ICE is claiming that the officer feared that Renee Good was about to seriously injure or kill him at this moment.

I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

The violence, lies, propaganda, assaults on constitutional norms, and attacks on American citizens and states in just the last week are horrifying.

It isn’t normal. It’s not okay. It’s not something we should accept.

America is an idea. A great one. We need to fight to keep it.
