'For Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Keith Porter
& all the victims of ICE'

Their light may have dimmed, but it will continue to shine through us...

...their legacy will live on forever.

Solidarity with Minneapolis.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Trump Mobile launched a golden “Made in America” phone and accepted $100 deposits from customers.

Now, the phone may no longer be "Made in America" and is nowhere to be found.

Is Trump Mobile scamming people? I’m calling for an investigation.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Heroes!!!!
I've seen several popular movements in my lifetime and history now as someone who teaches comparative politics.

When people show up in the dead of winter, on a workday, when it is the most inconvenient because of cold, it shows how strongly they are motivated against the government.
Easily thousands roaring "ICE out!"

"Aides to Todd Blanche directed the U.S. Atty’s office and FBI agents based in MN to shut down a civil rights investigation into an officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good and instead alter it to probe Good for possible criminal liability, according to three people briefed on the discussions."

If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Stupid fools! Cowards
Primary ALL of them.

Supporting violent, masked state police is inexcusable, especially after all the videos have shown them to be domestic terrorists who constantly ride roughshod over both people and the Constitution.
NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes:

Henry Cuellar of Texas
Jared Golden of Maine
Laura Gillen of New York
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State
Don Davis of North Carolina
Tom Souzzi of New York
Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
