Are you going to arrest them or let more be murdered?
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The least - I mean absolute the very least the Democratic Party can do right now - is to make sure every single Democratic Senator vote against the ICE/DHS funding bill this upcoming week.
If they can’t - Chuck Schumer needs resign and retire in disgrace.

How many public executions do we have to watch before there is a mass mobilization by democratic lawmakers — national and local — to arrest the killers and chase ICE out of cities?

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead
The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

The problem with this is that these recovery keys aren’t encrypted end-to-end in a way that Microsoft can’t access. So if law enforcement wants to access your encrypted drive (even without knowing your password) they can just ask Microsoft for the key. And Microsoft will hand it over.

DNC will never support a primary challenge to any incumbent. The party is weak, but it is committed to self-preservation. To shake up the party, you gotta contest for power. Primaries is one way to do it. Taking over local Dem parties is another, but that's longer term.

If we want to change this, we have to see through the theater. That means supporting fighter Dems and holding accountable loser Dems. That looks like solidarity with Minnesota today, loud advocacy in the coming days, and primary challenges against weak leaders in the coming weeks. /end

First, Liam’s father was in the process of an asylum claim, FOLLOWING THE LAW, and was not in any way breaking the law. Second, the father pleaded with the mother not to open the door. It’s not that she “refused to take her son.”
Reporter: You had two members from the school district who said, 'We can take this child to safety.' No one on the ground understands why that couldn't have happened. There are really differing stories being told from DHS's side to the local folks who were watching this unfold.

As it turns out, the "Board of Peace" is just a real estate redevelopment for the super-rich, built on stolen land. So basically, at it's core, it's ethnic cleansing dressed up in diplomatic terms.
This is beyond disgusting and immoral.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.
