Fifty years later and we are right back here—except the government killers are armed with heavy weapons, masked to hide their identities, arrive in unmarked cars, have been told they have absolute immunity, will not be investigated if they execute anyone, and have pardons metaphorically in hand

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Rosen and Cortez Masto have already said they'd vote no. Call the rest.
Senate Republicans need 60 votes 2 pass the DHS funding bill. R’s only have 53 so they will need 7 Dems to vote with them.
Dems who may potentially help them:
Congressional switchboard 202-224-3121
Fetterman (PA)
Cortez Masto (NV)
Rosen (NV)
Sheehen (NH)
Hassan (NH)
King (ME)

Another no vote from someone who usually votes yes.
My personal guiding principle has always been "agree where you can and fight where you must." And I believe this is a time when we must fight back.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.
New: @cortezmasto.senate.gov is a no on the DHS funding bill.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
