Maga with guns at protests, at voting places (voter watchers) at social gatherings, at city Capitol buildings.... all ok, all weapons displayed in full view, all allowed under 2A, all above board.
Not so for Minnesota protesters. They don't have the same rights

'Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Pretti was shot on Saturday because he was "brandishing" a gun.'
Noem will be the Trump scapegoat who ends up in jail. For US to really heal it needs to be him.

The UK has become a colony. Foreign corporations, private equity, hedge funds etc own many businesses, pay very little, siphon the profits away and use schemes to avoid taxes.

"Public opinion polling may be weighing on the White House with some research suggesting *a growing minority of Trump supporters* see the ICE raids as too aggressive in nature"
But why no reference to "most Americans - including a growing minority of Trump supporters" ?

Official Reform policy. Badenoch also wants to create a UK equivalent of ICE.
Joseph Boam has thankfully already been sacked from his roles within Leicestershire Council. Whilst the rest of us watch on with horror the murderous actions of ICE, of course he and other Reform members gladly proclaim their racist support.

I remember that speech by Maitlis.
I visit regularly and take an interest in what's happening there. It is really noticeable how the BBC platform reform type candidates on current affairs programmes.
It's almost normalised.

This is what the Supreme Court, (apparently, seems some were on the Epstein List), and the GOP have brought to us thanks to putting a demented piece of ____ in the Oval Office.

While Trump faces brutal polling and controversy over federal enforcement, Democrats are gaining strength. With an 8% lead on the generic congressional ballot and a real chance to retake the Senate, this Week In Wins shows what hope looks like. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/week-progres...

Good question.
But the decent, kind young man wasn't in possession of a gun when he was executed by several heavily armed, masked goons.
The gun was taken away from him before the assassination - so his killers didn't need any protection.

With Trump in the White House, the US can no longer be treated as a reliable ally.
Britain must step up fast. His tariffs will hurt the British people.
That’s why we’re pushing for a customs union.

view from Europe:
Seen lots of people criticizing the democrats right now.
Beware of falling into the classic fascist playbook!
They act to divide the opposition to weaken them.
Democrats OBVIOUSLY want communities to organize themselves....
..think HARD about who is suggesting otherwise!!!

Under previous presidents did ICE kill people? If it did happen, did an investigation & criminal charges follow? If these recent murders are the first time they've killed with impunity, that order comes from the top - Trump, or more likely, Miller. If ICE agents are guilty, so are they.

'Donald Trump walks back comments about UK soldiers in Afghanistan'
'Walked it back', yeah, right. He tried to cover his ample arse - utterly insincere & sarcastic. He didn't mean a word of his 'retraction'.
Just release the Epstein files & have done with this charlatan president.

The key point is that the ICE military occupations are predominantly not about enforcing immigration law. That is a pretext. They are an attempt to terrorize, injure or kill those in political conflict with the Trump Administration. They make no meaningful attempt to follow or enforce the law.
It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.

ICE is executing people, breaking into homes and kidnapping children — but sure, tell me more about how it’s the immigrants who are making us less safe.

@schumer.senate.gov you have to act now. You cannot pretend you don't have a dangerous, rogue President. Invoke the 25th amendment. You should see the reaction here in the UK after his disrespect of UK forces. No more special relationship.
This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life.
Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.
