This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

It's not even the Tory-lite Party any more, is it?
It's just The Tories - with special guest star, Nigel Farage.

Your reminder that Trump is explicitly named as having participated in raping someone in the Epstein files.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.

So.

To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.

Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.

ABOLISHED.

Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

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.

A war correspondent who says Minneapolis reminds him most of the Arab Spring, which he witnessed firsthand. Vivid portrait of decentralized resistance in the US, & the persistence of community organizing after George Floyd’s murder & the continued hypernormalization of trauma on our schoolchildren.
