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?

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

"I won MN three times but I got no credit for it" is just batshit crazy dementia talk. He genuinely thinks he kept winning and "they" just kept stealing it from him. It's like he thinks squirrels stole his glasses, or the wind is saying mean things about him. This can't go on much longer.
Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

This is sad, but good: Artists are refusing to normalize this idiocy, and instead of just commanding performances - which they can't do - the Trump people are closing it down and slinking away.
CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Should we the people not demand their arrest and swift prosecution?)
criminal law prof here. There are laws against homicide, and federal agents are not in fact above them. Supremacy clause immunity is limited in scope, not an absolute barrier to state prosecution.
The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

Hudson Valley residents braved freezing temperatures to protest a proposed ICE facility last Thursday.
"They better lawyer up," Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) said at the rally, referring to ICE and the Trump admin at large. "Because when we flip the House in less than a year, there will be accountability."
