After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

If we had passed FDR's Economic Bill of Rights in 1944 like we should have, we would not live in the America we live in today. We would live in a vastly more just, fair, and prosperous society.

Finally, Europeans are taking to the streets to protest against the American aggression against Europe.

But it should not have taken this long. And it should not only be in 🇩🇰🇬🇱.

If you want your leaders to to stop their supplication to Trump and fight for you, then you need to tell them.
Thousands join 'Hands off Greenland' protests in Denmark against Trump
The protest followed Donald Trump's warning on Friday that he 'may put a tariff' on countries that oppose his plans to take over mineral-rich Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Best bet for Europe is to continue threatening the Silicon Valley tycoons and broligarchs with economic boycotts.

Go after the money. Hurt their bottom line.

The only thing that might avert war.

These people still prefer the color green over white.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
