So when can I stop paying federal taxes?
This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.
Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Jennings is a highly paid instigator. He’s not a journalist. Not an investigator. Just a nasty talking point shit stirrer of a shill. A puppet.
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Hospital staff immediately recognized signs of a chokehold. From Arnoldo's bedside, his sister Maria tried to file an assault report w/ Houston PD. But police were skeptical of her account & their own authority:
“What can HPD do to federal agents?” Maria said a cop told them.

But nobody listened to people of color from the SF Bay talking about their distaste for Kamala Harris, so I’m not surprised that people refuse to listen to Californians about Newsom.

The people who are most familiar with Gavin Newsom's policies and his *actual* record are the ones saying he's a terrible candidate. People who care very much about winning, whose lives depend on it.

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap!
Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!
