Obviously correct, and worth underscoring in every press report.
As is the reality that Trump himself would obviously be removed from positions of responsibility in any other setting—pilot, surgeon, teacher, company official, bus driver—and those around him are denying that while using him.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

ICE is escalating their attacks on Minnesota - and so community and labor are responding to their violence with this peaceful shutdown.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Might be worth noting how ICE is internationally conflating being an agent with being an officer
Because why does hos vest say police if he's ICE?

The “peace” President has started a war.
He'll start a war to:
1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

It's funny, I bet a lot of Americans still think the government protects them against being captured against their will if they've done nothing wrong. ICE should be showing you on a large scale that's not true, & people who've been involuntarily committed, literally forced into a psych ward, know.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

He says he, quote, " inherited the worst inflation in history " I'm guessing he must have forgotten about 1979-1980 when inflation was running over 13% during the Carter administration. Anybody that listens to the claptrap that comes from that man and then votes for him is deserving of the pain

I will repeat for the people at the back, Venezuela is one of lowest producers of drugs in South America.
But it has the largest oil reserves in the world, enough to supply the USA for 50 years.

Drug trafficking is not an act of war. This whole idea that these boats can kill millions of Americans is fantasy land. It's based on a fake statistic about fentanyl. And they're not going to the US and they're not carrying fentanyl.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
