The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Free states once defied the Fugitive Slave Act by blocking federal overreach. California and Illinois now revive that resistance through modern civil rights law.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.

Disgusting, but at least she's out (for now): "During her 25-day detainment, Diaz Morales was transferred often and held in five detention centers in Maryland, Louisiana, Texas and, finally, New Jersey. Her lawyers were only able to speak to her twice during her detention." Gift: wapo.st/44Zs2TH

ICE doesn’t need better training. ICE isn’t ill equipped. It is a modern day gestapo and a totally illegitimate force. It should he abolished. Full stop. It should not take a murder to say so

Minnesota pays ~$119 billion to the federal government in taxes and receives only ~$75 billion in benefits.
If the Trump administration decides to withhold funds from liberal states and those states stop paying, the government will be broke very soon.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
