A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

These people are fascist goons, not law enforcement. Stop pretending otherwise. They're racist misogynists who want a gun and the green light to abuse and kill anyone they don't like. Which is everyone. They don't exist for law, they exist for terror.

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

Considerable doubts about the loyalty of the Minneapolis police aside, the mayor of a major city implying that he fears the federal police would start shooting if they attempt an arrest is what we call A Bad Sign
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

Makes sense, MAGAts are vile creatures that feed off corpses
Republican influencers are currently spending the weekend rummaging through a murdered woman’s Venmo, trying to post-hoc justify an ICE agent unloading bullets into a mother’s face.
Just a heinous level of moral depravity.

What's happening in Venezuela is a protection racket to make super-rich Americans super-richer. The Trump regime claimed that the Venezuela government ruled illegitimately, but it will keep them in power anyway if they give oil to Trump and his fossil fuel pals.

Let's get this straight: the Trump Admin is talking about giving up to $100,000 a PERSON to Greenlanders, but he's refusing to help millions of Americans afford their health insurance??
This is a waste of taxpayer dollars & a slap in the face to working Americans.

Gov. Polis tells CBS that Tina Peters' sentence is "harsh" and he's considering clemency for her. Peters, sentenced to 9 years on 4 felonies, has never disavowed her role as county clerk to breach her own election system to prove Trump's lie that he won 2020.

Is there something I am presently unaware of stopping MPD or the staties from just arresting a murderer of one of their own citizens in their own streets their own selves without the president or vice president telling them to or are Democrats just saying things again
If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Trump blamed Renee Good for her own killing while portraying Ashli Babbitt as a victim. The difference was not evidence or conduct. It was political loyalty.
