The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

Federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this morning. He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who spent his career keeping people alive — including at the VA.

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

I truly understand the pleas for ICE to leave Minnesota. But leaving MN to go terrorize other states isn’t what anyone wants.
ICE/DHS is kidnapping and murdering people in the streets AND IN DETENTION CENTERS.
Abolishing ICE - and holding its leaders & agents accountable- is the absolute minimum.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

The funniest thing about TikTok updating its TOS today has been all the ppl saying “and I HAD to agree or I couldn’t use it!”
Yeah man, is this your first TOS? Bc that’s kinda how it works. If you don’t agree to their terms of service, you don’t get to use their service. It’s right in the name.
