“Never thought is myself as a Nashville Hot Ranch kinda gal,” I said to myself, but here I was replacing it in the fridge, or was it Brenda???! My bitchy inner voice with nothing but a drug problem and heat rash. Did she buy it? Or was it Aldi my Austrian lover? Didn’t he ask for $.39 one day?

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Either we have a second amendment or we don’t. He was a legal gun owner with a carry permit. He didn’t brandish the gun, it was on his person. It appears that one officer relieved the victim of his firearm during the beat down, prior to the murder. Congress needs to step in now.
Mere hours after this latest murder took place, DHS has ALREADY issued a statement about that agency's conclusion on the case, with NO INVESTIGATION.

Neither were targets, both were witnesses—that’s what got them killed, being a white witness to extra judicial state sponsored violence. It’s forbidden.

This is wishful thinking from a country that lets insurrectionists run for office again. I implore you to look at the country we have and not the one that lives in your head.

The United States is engaged in a state-sponsored inter-group conflict with public executions and endless disruptions to healthcare and human rights, and no one in my field sees it as under our mandate because we’ve all been standing so close to the screen for so long

ICE killed another Minneapolitan in cold blood
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

Every single American is one accident or illness away from disability. Who will be there to take care of you when your life becomes medically complex?
there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

How naive does a person have to be to believe that we won’t have to rip this system of government out root and stem? Trump and his cronies are the natural conclusion to a thoroughly corrupt system bought and paid for by roughly 1000 families.
One of the things I keep thinking about is how it won’t just be the job of the next president to rebuild everything broken, but the one after that, and the one after that.
Whole generations will be living through the aftermath of this bullshit.

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Looks like Starfleet Academy is refusing to learn the expensive lesson Doctor Who also failed to learn: sci-fi shows need to be a little under funded and scrappy. Neither used their big budgets on writers, plot, storyline - instead the wasted it on snazzy effects. What a waste.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Note the pink triangles on the uniforms denoting men who were gay, queer, or trans. They are already being legislated against today. How long until ICE scoops them up as well since citizens and kids are on the menu?

I know my rep @ramirez.house.gov will vote no on this money grab for slave catchers.
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”
