Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Every time he brags about that cognitive test, I’m reminded it’s the one where you have to identify a picture of a lion. The fact that he thinks it’s an achievement might actually be the test.

🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨
Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

They're about to give a man who would be an unbeatable presidential nominee a huge moral platform and I don't think they've thought this through.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Trump’s special envoy Witkoff put his hand over his heart when Putin walked in the room. Like he’s reunited with a loved one. That really tells you all you need to know.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

“The JAG at Southern Command specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean…could amount to extrajudicial killings, the six sources said, and therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

Remember what ICE is about.
NOT helping to fight crime
NOT capturing criminals
NOT finding those committing fraud
No. Just using IRS records to track people who supposedly don't pay taxes.
Stalking scheduled immigration hearings of people who supposedly don't have them.

Minnesota has been shaken to its core by political violence this year. We know first hand that rhetoric like this has real life consequences.
Everyone should call this out for what it is - the sitting president calling for deaths of Members of Congress. This is what dictators do.

Thread: I went to law school with U.S. Congress Rep. Jason Crow. He is a Veteran and served three active tours of duty as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan and the Middle East. He has a wife and children. He was an upstanding and outstanding person back then and has remained so.

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.
He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

There are folks I know who are not leaving home unless they absolutely have to because they are afraid they will be attacked by ICE agents. Why are they afraid if they're not breaking any laws? Because they aren't white.
This country should be ashamed of itself. It's incredibly sad and infuriating.
