These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

"That's enough from this guy" is a valid reason for impeachment, not funding the government, etc. We've seen enough, that'll do

This really shows how badly conservatives miss the whole point of protesting: it’s not just about signaling a political opinion, it’s about drive political change.
It is not "pedantic" to acknowledge that a college protest against Iran makes zero sense. Protests are typically against things, not in favor of rights movements in other countries!

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

ice agents have decided that chemicals of war are suitable for children and civilians. what is good enough for us is good enough for them
The general public is not nearly angry enough about the North Minneapolis family - parents and six little kids - that was FLASH BANGED and TEAR GASSED inside their closed vehicle last night.

More Dems need to think about skating to where the puck will be not where it is.
All indications are Trump's brain has turned to mush and no one around him will even try to control his worst impulses.
He will just get way crazier and more evil and unpopular by November.

Among the problems with Gov. Walz’s approach:
1. The Administration and Trump will lie about peaceful things being violent, relentlessly, and the media will do a bad job calling it out.
2. ICE will murder peaceful people and the Trump Administration will endorse it.

welfare fraud is only illegal if you are Somali i guess
Trump is letting Mississippi get away with a massive welfare scandal that channeled money to Brett Favre and others.
The state was supposed to pay $100 million for allowing embezzlement from a federal program for needy families.
But the penalty was dropped.

people confuse the true idea that electoral victories alone are not enough to end fascism with the false idea that electoralism is fundamentally doomed and useless.

i don't even know why i'm raising this here because i know i'm going to get a hundred replies of "Trump has god powers that will let him do whatever he wants and thus we have no choice but to bend to his will," but for those of you capable of complex thought, these are questions to ask yourself.

i try not to dehumanize people, but ice agents are truly worthless and should be immediatly removed from wherever they are found by any means necessary. the fact my tax dollars fund them has fundamentally broken my trust in government, something that can only be repaired by entirely destroying ice
These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

Pretty much every video of this is something out of a conservative fantasy of the Antichrist federal government taking over
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
