Abolish ICE or GTFO.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE
Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country
Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed
We must rein in ICE
Here’s what we're demanding:

• Much of this is already mandated by law and DHS policy and is being ignored.
• No additional enforcement mechanisms or consequences for its lack are included.
• Ending the MN surge and removing Kristi Noem are noted as things Trump can do, not demands.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

This is the same guy who convinced Nick Shirley to come to Minnesota and "investigate" the daycare centers. He's the main guy in the video with Shirley and is a known crackpot in Minnesota political circles.

The 2020 election was RIGGED! I won by a lot. It was all run by Madero and the communist in Cuba and Puerto Rico who were paid by Soros at the behest of the Clintons and Barack Hussein Obama.
Breaking Reuters:
A team working for Tulsi Gabbard last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines.
The goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico.
The probe did not produce any clear evidence of interference.

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money.
The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem if they have passports. But not everyone has one. And getting one takes time & $$$. The GOP’s bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it equivalent to a poll tax.
The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
