He’s an ugly, smug, smarmy little a-hole who offends and embarrasses us with his ugly rants, wherever he goes. He called ICU RN Alex Pretti “an assassin” and did not apologize. His reply: “For what?!”
His supportive wife is gross. Flag-waving jerks whose trip is paid for with our taxpayer dollar$$!

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

People who don't understand the point of tbe blockades in Minneapolis not insert themselves and argue that they're pointless or that they shouldn't exist. They will exist as long as Minneapolis is under federal occupation. They help keep the community safe.

"McAfee also added that, by speaking with people who actually live in San Francisco, he learned it’s actually a pretty decent place."

Begging national news outlets to learn this lesson themselves about other cities (LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, etc)

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS.

Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse.

The media blackout on ICE activity is partly due to national Dem leadership giving up the leverage and national attention they had a month ago.

It's partly due to Americans not being willing to stay engaged for more than a couple months when it's bad things happening only to Black and brown people.

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses.

If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

The mainstream media needs a "political showdown" story angle to ICE or they won't cover it.

What is the red team doing and how is the blue team responding? What are the implications on the midterms or Newsom's or Pritzker's 2028 run?

Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, ICE raids never slowed down.

The fact that mainstream media stopped covering ICE kidnappings in LA isn't because ICE stopped kidnapping (they didn't)

Or ICE slowed down (they have actually increased their tempo)

Or that resistance to ICE slowed down (it never stopped, it grew)

It's the "political showdown" that stopped.
