A reminder to those who have taken the NEVER AGAIN pledge that the HOLOCAUST BEGAN WITH MASS DEPORTATIONS of "inferior races" who Nazis believed were "poisoning the blood" of their Aryan country. The man who sits in the White House shares this belief. ⬇️

Federal immigration officers across the country are newly equipped with an array of state-of-the-art surveillance technologies, thanks to a bill that transformed ICE into the country’s most highly funded law enforcement agency.

Here’s a look at their arsenal:
The powerful tools in ICE’s arsenal to track suspects — and protesters
Biometric trackers, cellphone location databases and drones are among the surveillance technologies agents are using in their immigration enforcement campaign.

Your immediate instinct should be, What can I do to make ICE toxic next week.

Your secondary instint should be, And how can I build on that the week after?
You are all ABSOLUTELY entitled to your correct opinion that Chuck Schumer's messaging sucks.

But don't waste your time whining while he bought you two weeks. Bc this is legislative success.
🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

Walz told me that when he spoke to Trump on the phone the president compared the immigration operations in Minneapolis to the military mission he ordered in Venezuela. www.ms.now/news/walz-sa...
Walz says Trump compared Minneapolis surge to Venezuela mission
The Minnesota governor tells MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff that the reference shows where Trump’s head is. The White House denies that.

Just saw an ad for the Melania movie. At first I thought it was a satire. Even after I realized it was a real ad, it seemed far more like a satire.
Same as trump's cabinet's meetings -- straight from SNL.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Two things happened last weekend.

1. A group of pro-Trump billionaires took control of TikTok's U.S. operations.

2. TikTok appeared to begin suppressing content about ICE's activity in Minneapolis and criticism of Trump.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity.

These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt.

US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons.
