Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

It is time to say enough is enough. All Americans must stand with Minneapolis and every other community being terrorized by ICE and the Trump regime. We want our country back! Everyone should feel safe here. The reign of fear is un-American.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Newsom: "I'm not naive about the corruption & graft at a scale we've never seen in history. I'm not naive about folks writing billion dollars checks to Witkoff & Kushner. I'm not naive about the fact Trump made $1.5b+ in the last 12 months personally. How in the hell are we putting up with this?

We are living in an alternate universe. Need proof? Nebraska is undefeated in mens basketball and Indiana is undefeated in football. Cows are using tools. Russia is our ally and NATO our adversary. Yep, alternate universe.

Jonathan Kuminga is good at basketball. I don't understand the people who can't see this.

Can't believe this is a 14-point game after three quarters. Good stuff from Kuminga.

No, Democrats aren’t “just as bad” or “even worse” than Trump, MAGA and the GOP.

No, the United States WASN’T “always this bad.”

Some folks really do have to work on their understanding of the concept of “order of magnitude.”

Not understanding it rewards/protects worse and more illegal behaviour.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

This is huge: For the first time since the early 1970s, coal power generation has fallen in both China & India.

It undercuts claims that decarbonisation is pointless while they expand coal. Renewables are no longer just adding capacity — they’re displacing coal.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
That is what was relayed
