This was true in October 2016 when the Washington Post editorial board posted it, and it has been proven true every day since.

On a more serious note - Ilhan becomes the second Democratic member to face attack in recent days.

Two members of color.

Imagine the outcry if they were Republicans
Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

He's. Not. Pivoting.
He's NOT. De-escalating.
He's. STILL. Blaming Pretti for his own death.
He's. STILL. Not allowing independent investigations.
He's. JUST. Replacing one fascist lunatic with another.

He's. The same. Exact. Authoritarian. Piece of shit. He's always been

Sounds like Führer Trump got exactly what he’s been inciting every day on Truth Social, where he libels Congresswoman Omar (D-MN) as a criminal who should be imprisoned or something “worse”

If you don’t think Trump wants all his political critics killed you haven’t been paying any attention at all

I say this all the time but Trumpism itself is primarily a violence movement. The constant threat of violence to opponents, neutral parties, and also allies.

It’s the primary propulsive force that binds them.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

please do not bring pets to protests even though they’re cute, it is not gonna be fun for them
Some of y'all are new to this shit so heads up,
DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG TO A PROTEST

Just saw video of ICE agents do what is natural to them -- spontaneously choose violence -- and someone was carrying their dog near a cloud of mace.

There's no reason. If you cant leave them alone, STAY HOME.

It's exactly what you voted for, tia.
The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”

“This is not what we voted for.”
