ICE point weapon directly at woman peacefully protesting, just inches in front of her face.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called
"less than lethal" ammo could be fatal.

Dear Americans,

I always thought when your government inevitably built concentration camps for you that you would care more. I thought you’d know that even his supporters would be in danger. I thought much too highly of you.

Love,

God

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

One of the better ideas I’ve seen. Scott Galloway with his “Resist and Unsubscribe.

The US government will not stop sharing Nazi propaganda And their supporters are loving it.

The Trump administration's social media repurposes language and cultural references with connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.

It's content that experts say is instantly recognizable to those who are in the white supremacist know, but can be largely invisible to everyone else.

For 5 years I've noted since 2016, people have become outwardly meaner. That is a nonpartisan observation. We have all...ALL...leanred that meanness is now allowable. We may hate Trump, but we have embraced the meanness he unleashed. I include myself, seeing myself having to snap out and pull back.

When you’ve seen the polling

We are entering the “falling out of windows” phase.

Exclusive | Epstein Files Release Exposes Names of at Least 43 Victims, WSJ Review Finds The Justice Department was required to redact all victims’ names prior to releasing the files.

“A review of 47 victims’ full names on Sunday found that 43 of them were left unredacted in files that were made public by the government on Friday, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. Several women’s full names appeared more than 100 times in the files. “

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

NYT:

Official concedes 8-year-old who died in U.S. custody could have been saved as devastated family recalls final days The parents of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez told CBS News that their daughter died in Border Patrol custody because of negligence and discrimination.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia

You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge

This is a dangerous slope. When you damage the trust in elections, you damage the success of democracy. People need to trust that their voice is heard. Check out my full recap in my Weekend Video available at the Substack link in my reply.

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

straight up Gestapo shit

Yes, who wrote this email to Jeffrey Epstein — and why did DOJ redact his name?

Well, this is odd

ICE eyeing Ohio next, where it is expected to target Haitian immigrants An estimated 12,000 to 15,000 Haitians live in Springfield, Ohio, a community that President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance targeted during the 2024 campaign, falsely accusing the community ...

Breaking MS NOW:

The Trump admin is now eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week.

The operation is expected to target Haitian immigrants — with temporary protected status for Haiti expiring on Feb. 3.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
