This is progress, but we are not letting up.

Demand your Senators vote no on a bill that would keep funding ICE while doing nothing to keep us safe from these out of control federal agents. Take action at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

The latest move is in line with Trump administration efforts to exact retribution on perceived enemies of the president and his allies — despite Booz Allen's recent contributions to Trump's ballroom project, expected to cost more than $400 million.

Trump had blackmail on Judge Kennedy & forced him to resign early. I've always wondered if he has something on Roberts. And of course, his appointments were corrupt. And 6 members lied about Roe v Wade. Corrupt Supreme Court bsky.app/profile/chri...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It feels appropriate that the best reporting from The Atlantic and The New York Times has been by seasoned war reporters who understand the stakes and, by extension, the need to protect sources or sensitive information.

"He was carrying--"

"Well she shouldn't have been--"

"He was planning--"

You're telling me this nation, currently ruled by decree and not legislation, now condones vigilante execution too?

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States.

But to hear you talk--America died at 249.

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?"

Trump sent federal agents into Minnesota to create chaos and unrest, and as a result two people are dead.

Instead of bringing the heat down, the Admin is attempting to smear an ICU nurse as an ‘assassin’ and ‘domestic terrorist.’

That doesn’t change what we saw. Believe your eyes, not their lies.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

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.
