What does a national news media owned by the billionaires get you?
A population of people making less than $75,000 who will insist that ALL of the tax dollars need to go to the billionaires, because poor people are convinced the billionaires will give them 10 cents off a gas station burrito.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Proud of this 2023 report on Border Patrol abuse and accountability that we published with the Nogales-based Kino Border Initiative.
It has proved to be terribly prescient. And DHS has moved backwards on virtually all of its recommendations: www.wola.org/analysis/sec...

![January 13, 2023: An ill, unidentified migrant, who had reportedly become “agitated and began to kick the interior” of a Border Patrol vehicle died while being transported, shackled, through rural Arizona to receive medical attention. Agents did not realize he had died until they arrived.
March 14, 2023: Body-worn camera footage released by CBP showed a Border Patrol agent shooting and killing U.S. citizen Noe Mejia, the apparently unarmed driver of a car suspected of smuggling migrants, at point blank range in Sasabe, Arizona.
May 17, 2023: Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez, an 8-year-old citizen of Honduras, died in a Harlingen, Texas Border Patrol facility while her family was in its ninth day of CBP custody. Anadith suffered from a chronic heart condition and sickle cell anemia, and tested positive for influenza while in CBP custody. Anadith was experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting and a high grade fever. Medical staff refused multiple pleas from Anadith’s mother to call her an ambulance. Anadith’s case was the first death of a child in CBP custody since 2019. In 2018 and 2019, six children died while in, or soon after leaving, CBP custody. [1]
May 18, 2023: Border Patrol agents shot and killed Raymond Mattia, a 58 year-old member of the Tohono O’odham nation, while Mattia was steps from the front door of his home in the community of Menager’s Dam (also known as Ali Chuk), Arizona. Three agents, part of a group accompanying Tohono O’odham Nation police, fired their weapons at Mattia, striking him nine times. Commanded to drop his weapon, Mattia tossed a sheathed machete or hunting knife toward agents. Commanded to take his hand out of his jacket pocket, Mattia pulled out his hand holding an object. The agents fired numerous times, killing Mattia. The object in his hand was a mobile phone.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t5hgkoxrsxpe3wfisqfeymg5/bafkreiaj2xphzklnmgja2syktktguj525midvj276hks5oaeogw5nmkyiq@jpeg)

The same tactics are part of Trump’s toolbox, Gessen argues: quotas, a “paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality,” and “postmortem vilification of the victims.” Normal brains seek logic, but Gessen says it’s simply state terror.

Act like there is no tomorrow. Now.
AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.
We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

All this. We can choose to not see the Nazis because we’re white. Tough titties. Grow some ovaries and bear witness, especially white women. Don’t you dare look away. Look at what our privilege has wrought. We’re either all free, or none of us is free

If anyone expects anything to change at this point, it’s not going to happen without changes across the board and that includes Chuck Schumer. We have real Democrats in the Senate. They have the power to change leadership at any time, and that needs to happen immediately.

The facts just get worse and worse. The 37-yo American citizen killed by ICE was a registered nurse. The LAST thing a man who spends his days helping people heal would do is harm someone else. THIS IS WHAT INCOMPETENCE AND FEAR DOES! DEFUND ICE FOR GOOD!

And all that would take is for these 23 Americans to have even a shred of humanity or patriotism
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.
