Good morning.

If you attend church this morning, I hope it’s one that addresses the inhumanity of recent executions by ICE.

Congress cannot fund a Department of Homeland Security that is unapologetically murdering Americans; running a "baby prison" in Texas for the purpose of traumatizing little kids; acting like the law and truth don't exist.

We swore an oath to uphold the law.

Exactly. Report the facts. One of the most striking facts here are the lies. And they are lies. Intentional lies.
Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

ICE killed another person.

Pam Bondi said ICE would pull out if the MN Gov released their voting files.

"Any shred of doubt that this had nothing to do with immigration or safety vanished in this shameful act of what amounts to extortion."
Execution in Minneapolis

This. All of it. But don’t exclude from prosecution the leaders who created and guided and ordered the crimes.
Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

Over the holidays, Trump’s Postal Service delivered a gift that we didn’t ask for.

In a new rule that went into effect on Christmas Eve, USPS announced a change to their postmarking procedures, and this 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 change has big implications for our democracy.

#ICE is attacking and killing U.S. citizens, kidnapping 5-year-olds and using them as bait to open doors, and violating constitutional rights by busting into homes without cause.

Enough is enough. They deserve to be defunded.

Call your Senators and make sure they vote this week to defund ICE.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
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.

Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to Minnesota’s voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

If Republicans retain any vestigial memories of principle or patriotism, now would be a good time for them to act on distant memories of duty and honor to save America. Trump is embarrassing a great nation and endangering global security to assuage his fragile yet monstrous ego.
