Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

My take? They want him to keep talking so they can impose a 25th amendment and install JD Vance.
I can’t think of any other reason for any of this shit.

This is how it’s done! @abigailspanberger.com’s first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

One of the worst things about Missouri is that we continue to run the plays of other failed states.
Work requirements for Medicaid. A sales tax to replace income tax. Abortion bans. School vouchers. Sending tax cuts to the wealthy.
If the governor were a football coach, he would be fired.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?
Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
