This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

Reports indicate ICE agents shot a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. They're still verifying details...but this is a dangerous escalation. Federal gunfire in U.S. cities puts everyone at risk.
ICE should withdraw immediately.

ICE are the enemy of the people.
They are antithetical to humanity.
They are profoundly un-American.
The decent people of this nation need to oppose them at every turn.

ICE is a Test of America's Humanity, and Many of Us are Failing.
The last decade in America has been an unrelenting funeral.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

"What we are witnessing with Venezuela follows the same exact playbook Putin used in Ukraine. Putin didn’t call it a war. He called it a 'special military operation.' Trump doesn’t call what he’s doing an invasion either. He wraps it in language about corruption, stability, security."

this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
