“Once operational, Revolution Wind alone will provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year in energy bill savings to New England,” is the punchline. Stated under oath, in a sworn affidavit.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

local public radio is an incredible resource and there are amazing reporters on the ground right now -- and you can stream MPR live.
Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.
Sigh. The NPR national news brief at the top of the hour mentioned the shooting and simply cited the DHS statement.

He moved to be in front of the vehicle - she didn't 'aim' it at him. They are murderously out of control and they were intentionally recruited for their willingness to be that way.

Yet another martyr in the fight to protect our rights. I hope the murderer is prosecuted to the full extent. Of course, our so-called Justice Dept won't do that, so I suppose it will be up to local and/or state law enforcement.
ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.

Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.

Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Impeachment in 2020 didn't help him enough, did it?

There are enough seconds in the day to talk about more than one thing. He's deeply unpopular and quite obviously lawless while doing massive harm to people across the political spectrum. There was a reason the Republicans didn't want Jack Smith's testimony public or released in prime time.

And in the sense that shit rolls downhill, I think non-MAGA voters s/b finding ways to make those MAGA voters experience our anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant. Think that would work? Ditto to the gop congress/senators bc they're really the only entity to stop it.

IT IS SHOCKING TO ME THAT NOBODY IS DISCUSSING JANUARY 6TH TODAY. THE CURRENT OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE ORGANIZED THIS AND AS THE JACK SMITH TESTIMONY MADE CLEAR, BROKE LAWS IN ORDER TO OVERTHROW DEMOCRACY.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS SHOULD AGAIN RELEASE THE SMITH TESTIMONY TODAY.

How are we the power of NATO if we don't support NATO, instead violating the entire basis of it? This admin has been backing out of NATO and they no longer trust us. We *used to be* a big power of NATO, but these people lost the plot.
