Kristi Noem must resign.
And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

Scalise lies: "The want to defund ICE. They defunded police. The police chief of Mpls said yesterday multiple times how stretched thin his department is. They don't have enough people because Mpls defunded the police." (Police were not defunded and MPD is stretched thin bc of unrest caused by ICE)

One thing you can say about REFORM voters: they turn up.
They may be voting for authoritarianism, but they vote.
When Farage gains power, look first at the millions who stayed home.
Non-voters enable authoritarianism and fascism.
Never hasbit been more important to use your vote.

Another pet peeve: Under Trump, the term "diplomat' has come to mean unqualified, ignorant hack.
It is like the way "patriot" has come to mean anti-American, pro-fascist bigot.
Orwellian double-speak is the official language of the Trump Administration.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."
