Lee is venal but I hadn't thought stupid: why would lawful immigrants fear ICE? Mike, why don't you ask Renee Good and Alex Pretti?
Oh.
Oh.
Because DHS paramilitaries are masked, heavily armed, poorly trained, and have been terrorizing Americans for months. Because Americans don't want to vote at gunpoint. #holdfast

In future generations, perhaps the biggest con in the cartoon #47 regime will be their analysis that word "Regulation" = Bad & word "Deregulation" = Good.
The evidence? They said so.
FYI, deaths per mile driven fell by 75% over 50 years due to federal auto safety & local highway rules.

As FBI agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia, Wednesday, lurking in the shadows of the operation was Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Gabbard’s role in Fulton raid highlights wild conspiracy theories fueling 2020 probe
"She has neither the authority nor the competence to assess anything in that voting site," a voting advocate said of Gabbard.

At least we know that while federal agents are killing people for using cell phones and the country is going to shit, Trump was working hard playing golf, hosting a screening for Melania’s movie, and rage-posting about his ballroom.

Talk about a performative presidency!
The Supreme Court is about to conclude that Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional since only the House under Article 1 can initiate tax schemes.
This will deprive him of a key lever allowing him to try to be the boss of the world.

First, he threatens to take Greenland by force, now he is threatening to tariff anyone who stands in his way.
First, he claimed tariffs were a way to fix the so-called trade imbalance.
Now he’s openly using them to bully the free world.

Just before Renee Good's murder, her spouse observed that "we have whistles, they have guns."
So Minn.-St. Paul have 1200 police officers for everything yet ICE already has 2000 there and intend to send more.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.

As ICE popularity plunges after MN shooting & videos of Latinos being brutalized, Trump has a choice.
Either he reigns in the Miller, Noem gangster language /policies about ICE...or he keeps egging them on so GOP loses next two elections.

The First Rule of "Fascist Club" is, "The first lie wins."
TeamTrump's immediate coordinated lie that the woman driving away was the villain and the shooter the victim is so obviously grotesque that it might virally trigger GeorgeFloyd-like protests
(which killing happened to occur a mile away).

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Trump said, 'I really don’t know. ... I wasn’t referring to Greenland at that time. But we do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defense.'”
