This song was a bellwether—it helped people realize that it wasn’t the protesters that were the problem, it was the government.
The tragic deaths of Good and Pretti have done the same for those who have not been paying attention.

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!
👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

This is bad!

Wholesale prices just spiked way above expectations. PPI up 0.5% in one month, core PPI up 0.7% when experts expected 0.3%.

Translation: costs that hit companies are climbing fast, and they do not magically disappear. They get passed straight to you and me.

Today, people across the entire country will withhold their labor, withhold their dollars, and take to the streets to protest Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing Minneapolis.

Solidarity with everyone participating.

Let this be one of many actions we take to fight back against this regime.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

🧵This is what our tax dollars are going towards.

Not education, health care, or public transport.

Cages for people.

DHS just paid $70 million in cash for a warehouse in Surprise, AZ.

The week before, $102 million for one in Maryland.

A third in El Paso.

Suckers!

The Senate Democrats made a deal with the GOP to keep the funds flowing to the Dept. of Homeland Security for the next two weeks.

Then they will discuss their demands.

Trump when asked after this if he is going to drawdown ICE in Minnesota—he said NO!

Mr. Thune thinks we're foolish enough to take him at his word.

“Thune said the changes to immigration enforcement that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., detailed earlier this week will not be included in this government funding package, but could be taken up in a bill later this year. “
