ICE’s budget is bigger than the US military’s already and yet they want more money. The democrats should not entertain giving ICE anymore money for any trade off. Defund ICE or get primaried!!

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

The on the ground video from Los Angeles and Portland tonight is unbelievable ice and federal forces are absolutely out of control shooting protestors at close range with everything from gas to pepper balls and flashbangs. Just continuing the trend they started here of maximum carnage and terror.

Thirty point swing to Democrats deep in the heart of Texas.
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.

Here’s why the media and Dems fail us every time. This is long game political blackmail. When they say a drawdown is dependent on “state and local cooperation,” no one in the media is asking or naming specifically what it means. But what it means is compliance with federal terrorism.

Looks like Greg Bovino is the chosen fall guy as the Trump admin scrambles to navigate the anti-ICE backlash. Reportedly being "forced into retirement" and denied access to his social media accounts.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

This is one of the very rare times where no matter what lens you use (moral, political, logical, financial, liberal, conservative, whatever) the answer is the same.
This is not partisan. This is human.

This has to stop! MINIMUM demands at this point:
- ICE out of Minnesota now
- arrest and charge the shooters, those associated
- no more funding for ICE, associated depts
- abolish ICE, reallocate funding to real needs
- shut down the government to do so, halt tax payments to do so
