A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

If you are protesting today, be safe. Record everything. Stay peaceful. Don’t give them a reason to shoot you because they’re friggin animals with no regard for life or our rights.

regular US policing.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

📽️A MUST watch from Marc Elias: It's easy to disengage with the constant stream of bad news flowing out from the Trump administration. But when we become immune — when we stop being outraged — our democracy crumbles.
