“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” - Chuck Schumer, August 2016. Same playbook as 2024. He was right about losing losing Dem voters!

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Impeach Trump, Noem, Kennedy, Oz, the whole lot. And constantly push for it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the votes. Make the GOP keep voting for fascism again and again. Make them own it all.

Serious media will use passive, both sides language. ‘An accident involving ICE vehicle’ and ‘clash with protesters’. Lol
Minneapolis right now—
At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

When ICE started off their reign of terror in early 2025 by first targeting people like Mahmoud Kahlil for protesting Israel, Dan wasn’t upset, he wasn’t calling for agents to take off their masks - he was in his own words aligned and eager to work with Trump. Completely disqualifying.

Schumer and Jeffries need to learn leadership from AOC.
Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show
AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.
FP: That’s not true
AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
