Top Youngkin appointees resign
Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

The AP source is almost certainly a federal official and should be presumed to be lying
BREAKING: A federal officer shot a person in the leg after being attacked with a shovel during a Minneapolis arrest, an AP source says.

No funding for ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem now. Hold Trump and his lackeys accountable for the violence and terror being inflicted all across our country.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

How fucking hard is that

White Supremacists look at New England as a safe heaven for it's seemingly favorable racial demographics, which is one of the reasons Blood Tribe leader Chris Pohlhaus tried to make a compound in ME until he was chased out by community members. Mainers you can do the funniest thing again.
BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Just withdraw any sort of military occupation from American cities. Let local law enforcement enforce our laws and keep the peace. The immediate crisis is that simple.

In addition to Good's murder, ICE has been busy in Minneapolis causing car wrecks and traffic jams, filling the streets with tear gas and goons with loaded weapons, issuing specific threats and sewing general chaos.
This is not law enforcement to preserve order. It's an occupation to cause chaos.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained."
This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

Look at the podium.
After an SS officer was killed in 1942, the Nazis erased Lidice: men executed, women sent to camps, children murdered or stolen. Putting that phrase on a U.S. government podium isn’t a mistake. It’s a threat. And history tells us where threats like this go.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
