Proud to be woke because I care about social justice. Paying taxes is a high class problem. Vote because you care about others and recognize that other people can do well and make society better

I broke down and joined here. Looking forward to carrying on the good fight

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.
But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

We can’t afford $40 billion for health insurance for the poor, but we can afford $1500 billion a year for defense
Keep in mind that is over $900 billion more than Trump’s first term. He also took ICE’s budget up by $20 billion this year because murdering Americans is more fun than insuring them

Graphic, but complete. Watch till the end, the murderer and his associate hop in their SUV and drive away while other ICE officers refuse access to a physician trying to administer aid to the victim
Really good video breakdown of the shooting of Renee Good illustrating that yes, this was cold blooded murder by an ICE agent.
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.

Fascinating to me that when Venezuelans are willingly in the US without permission, we snatch them off the street and deport them without due process
When they don’t want to be here, we kidnap them, bring them here against their will, and provide due process

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.
