Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Not to take away from the ridiculously-on-point righteousness of this order, but it is also clear that these judges are writing for maximum exposure, and that is GREAT.
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

What we have seen in Minneapolis and other communities has nothing to do with Democrats and in fact has come in spite of their “help.”
We’re remembering community and its power. We’re remembering democracy isn’t just voting. We’re discovering that all we need is each other.

In retrospect, smearing a minivan driving mom as a terrorist and VA nurse as an assassin was uncalled for. From now on our administration promises to celebrate their lives as well as their deaths

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.
They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.
The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Today is the day for Governors of blue states, who actually fund the federal government, to get together and come up with a plan to withhold all funds from the federal government and to deprive red states who take the money from the ability to do do.

Authoritarianism doesn’t announce itself. It arrives wrapped in “security,” “order,” and “law enforcement.” Minneapolis is being used as a proving ground. If we don’t stop this now, we may not get another chance.
