If now is not the time for tens of millions in the streets, for a unified call for the removal of an entire regime, for ICE to be disbanded, for Nuremberg-like tribunals, for a nationwide strike, for boycotting ALL businesses that enable this regime, for Congress to do its job, when the FUCK is?

Jeffries: "Johnson and Thune aren't working for the American people. They work for Trump. So many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle function like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel ... Johnson called the 4th Amendment an inconvenience. It's not."

Noem should be jailed not just fired
Sen. Mark Kelly: "Right now they need to get out of Minneapolis & really reevaluate what this agency agency should be. Kristi Noem needs to be fired, by the way. That's a good starting point here. And the senior leadership there, the ones who have implemented these policies, these people need to go"

Jeff Bezos seemed like a white knight when he bought the Washington Post in 2013. Turns out, he saw the Post as a minor property that he could push toward irrelevance and toadyism in order to keep Trump from vandalizing his more profitable businesses.

Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.
Steve Bannon,
"We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."

America sees the brutal violence ICE and Border Patrol are inflicting on our people and won’t allow it to continue. Trump and Noem underestimate the American people—as they say in Minneapolis, “We’ve got eyes/so stop your lies.”

You don’t get to call this “law and order” while ICE raids occur near schools and houses of worship, violates court orders, and scares parents into guarding school doors. Even Republicans are saying it’s unacceptable. Enforce the law—but due process matters, and chaos doesn’t make us safer.
