“Across Indian Country, we are seeing Native American people illegally stopped, abused, or detained by ICE agents. It is hard to miss the irony of locking up the first people of this land in an immigration sweep.” -- NARF Executive Director John Echohawk buff.ly/yl1iQdA

Ms. Good should be alive today. Instead, a masked mother-murdering ICE agent acting with impunity took her life. Enough. I’m fighting to end immunity for ICE and to hold them accountable for their actions.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

NEW: DHS says a "violent rioter weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill him. The ICE officer fired defensive shots." That's a lie. Watch the video for yourself.
This is the video.

When Republicans passed their Big Bad Betrayal Bill, they kicked millions of Americans off of their health care and slashed SNAP funding for hungry families — meaning millions will get poorer and sicker.

This should not be how we live in the richest country in the world.

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care:

I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care. 

Your health care is still legal and protected. 

I'll always fight for you.

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.

But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.

Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

Agents used pepper spray, pepper balls and tasers on bystanders, according to the videos. One is seen wildly swinging a baton to keep protesters at bay before apparently getting hit by a colleague’s pepper spray.

The Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not respond to a request for comment.

Since hunting season began, 76 wolves have been killed in MT and with over 3.5 months of the season still ahead, this number could rise even higher.

At the same time, ESA protections for wolves remain at risk, putting them in even greater danger. 📣It’s time to take action: https://bit.ly/3MgCU9i

Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break.

Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago.

Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.
