Trump has never done anything that ordinary Americans do. Never did a day of physical work, never walked anywhere, never remained loyal and loving to a partner, never bought groceries, never ridden a school bus, never lifted anything heavier than his own pants. It’s clear. Just look at him…a baby.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Exactly right, and therefore important not to give credit for an investigation of an obvious atrocity. Appropriate responses are apologies, resignations, firings, impeachments. The individuals who killed people should be tried before a judge and jury.
Okay, so this is an authoritarian playbook trick, once the evidence is overwhelming say everyone needs to wait for the official investigation then either fix it or attack it when its completed. Same shit Russian pulled with MH17 and chemical attacks in Syria, very predictable.
Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin?
Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

1/ This is terrifying to watch. Another warrantless search, another family brutalized by our government. But it's just one trauma inflicted on this family—many of which are US citizens—by the agents of the state, whose salaries we all pay

ICE has been authorizing officers to forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants—a reversal of longstanding guidance to protect people's constitutional rights.
Senior reporter @samanthamichaels.bsky.social spoke with a family in Memphis that experienced this.

Get it right NY Times. Headline should read "Video contradicts federal account of fatal shooting." There's no "appears" here. Call it like it is. The man was butchered. Call it like it is.

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.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an “immigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic.
This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable.
