A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

In 1930s Germany, fear & grievance are now being weaponized to against minorities & justify the expansion of federal power. While courts, elections, and civil institutions are delegitimized, the MAGA right wing media will encourage followers to see dissent as treason rather than a democratic right.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

This is actually a bottom line issue for me. I was very politically active when George W. Bush was in office & I always say that I can forgive bad policy. At the end of the day I think George W. Bush was a good father and a good husband.
There are no redeeming qualities to Trump!
Also he cheated!

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, itβs not a win for free speech.
Itβs a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.
