This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

"The American skin now belongs to anyone who stands between federal power and its chosen targets. Anyone who does not move fast enough. Anyone who tries to protect their neighbor. Anyone who makes the mistake of believing their rights are real. You can get killed just for living in it."

Authority does not equal legitimacy. And legitimacy does not require authorization.
When the system commits injustice, which it is now, waiting politely for the system to correct itself is not neutrality, it’s participation by delay.

This ICE Nazi needs to go to jail for murder. This coward shot an innocent man in the back. This is the execution of a civilian brought to you by Trump, the GOP and Fox News. They are a threat to our democracy.

These traitors need to be voted out. Here are the ones on Bluesky: @golden.house.gov, @tomsuozzi.bsky.social
These are the seven House Democrats who voted last week to approve funding for ICE and Border Patrol.
THEY NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR VOTE!!! 😡😡

Murder.
"What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonized by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland."
Imperial Boomerang
The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans ...

There is no defending this. This is cold-blooded murder.

Murder. All of these ICE fuckers need to go to jail.
Another ICE/CBP murder of a citizen in Minneapolis' Whittier neighborhood.

Wow. These Dems voting for ICE. Shameful. Vote them out.
DHS spending bill passed 220-207
7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi
Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote
Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
