The laws have to change to ensure Renee and others even get their day in court. No qualified immunity for ICE thugs. No funding for unconstitutional ICE actions.
For now, ICE goons either obey the laws we have or THEY go to jail. That should be the message we send, repeatedly.

Re: the ICE murder in Minneapolis: I think 1) Renee was acting way too at ease, friendly, and unthreatened for his liking. 2) Her wife's "big boy" comment was the final straw. At that point, he was going to show these "B***es. Then he saw she was about to take off. #murderinMinneapolis

Today marks 5 years since Trump incited the deadly attack on our Capitol.
Ever since, Trump has tried to downplay January 6, pardoning the rioters who assaulted brave law enforcement officers.
We must continue to defend our democracy and never let this history be erased.

Thank you for the short-lived attempt by one Hilton franchise to deny ICE agents a nice, cushy stay at a Hilton hotel in Minnesota. Corporate Hilton has now caved. Shame on them. #Hiltoncaves

Save Social Security by raising the cap of payroll taxes; divert at least $100 billion of the unaccountable funding from Homeland Security and ICE to jumpstart affordable housing construction; reappropriate taxes the billionaires and corporations should pay and direct it to universal healthcare.

I've been unenamored and uninspired by the Democratic Party for years. If we (they) can get back to being the voice and the champion of the people who do the actual work in this country, and hammer home strong messaging about that, we can reshape this hellscape of a reality.

Venezuelan "drug bust" boat blow-ups are an illegal coverup for what's really going on. If this were a real thing, T wouldn't have pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted and serving 45 years for trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the US. So what's the real thing?
