Pet peeve: complaints that Dems have bad messaging/do nothing by accounts who follow no elected officials or experts in their fields.

Media and Americans truly glossed over Trump referring to US administrations as regimes during his debates with Hillary Clinton far too readily. When he said regime, he meant regime.
It truly sheds a bright light on media coverage of the Clintons.

The Clinton's didn't refuse to testify.
They refused to testify behind closed doors.
Big difference.
They say they will gladly testify in open hearings, televised.

Dragging pregnant women through the snow, yanking teens out of their cars, breaking and entering without a warrant, SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW in every state!
Oh wait. It already is.

Republicans are complicit with fascism.
However, any Democrat willing to support and fund ICE must answer why they are fine with enabling a rogue agency that murders Americans and terrorizes communities.
Confront them and ask them to defend it.
Why will the fund DHS? Why won't they abolish ICE?

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.
ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

Democratic Governors need to activate the National Guard to protect their communities. Local cops now realize that they're overwhelmed by the same violent forces they initially supported.
Of course, Trump will respond with escalation, but this is no longer, nor has been, sustainable.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape.
Dropped his loaded clip.

You all need to start prosecuting them now, starting with Renee Good’s murderer
Tim Walz calls on residents to film ICE agents in their communities, citing widespread misconduct.
"If you see ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record. Help us create a database of the atrocities … to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Seems like they'll be needed. There was a convoy of six ICE vehicles at Aquila Elementary School today.
From 1/14/2026
ICE showed up at Aquila Elementary School in St. Louis Park, MN right at pickup time
Community members chased them off with whistles and words
A note: the KKK attempted similar intimidation tactics outside schools during the Civil Rights Era
