"Just doing their job" How did that line work for the defense at Nuremberg ?
Female conservative Christian influencers are hoping to convince their largely female audience that ICE officers are simply doing their job.
Right-wing influencers want women to love ICE
"We need more stories and images showing the professionalism and compassion of ICE."

Every city & state should do this!
The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The best poling happening is @gelliottmorris.com
Also: I think it's very good that polls are getting a lot of attention lately! But the polls are just another way of talking to _real human voters_. Every percentage point drop in approval is millions of people saying they would not vote for Trump today. In a democracy, there's strength in that.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Was at a central Minnesota rally yesterday ( wind-chill well below zero). And the folks there were mostly white, 50+, and female. Neither DSA nor domestic terrorists. Just middle America, fed up, ashamed, and motivated.
The median Minneapolis moderate right now is like “GET THESE CRIMINAL GHOULS OUT OF OUR CITY” and working arm-in-arm with DSA. People not from here cannot comprehend the degree of factional rancor that instantly evaporated when the men with masks showed up

I have a concrete suggestion in response to Trump and his gestapo’s “f**k you” to the rule of law: “Democratic senators and representatives should be flying to Minnesota now and standing together in a show of force and solidarity.”

In the 16 years since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, a flood of unlimited special interest money has been spent to influence our elections.
We must fight for a more transparent democracy where every voter’s voice is heard.

Susan Collins is concerned
BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

The curse of "moderates" - my fear is that the reason Amy Klobuchar has remained quiet about ICE in Minnesota is that she plans to run for governor on a "moderate" platform.
But where has that gotten us? Time for some courage and real leadership from Dems

Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

Prediction: the fact that SCOTUS has not yet released decisions scheduled for today, likely means a release late afternoon on a Friday - buried before a weekend. Therefore, the decisions (likely on tarfiffs) are likely controversial and therefore likely to support Trump's tariffs.

Left Twitter when musk bought it. Never looked back. Never regretted it. Honestly can't understand why people ( at least those with decency and integrity) stay.
if you still use Twitter please understand that you are enabling and supporting this.
It’s only going to get worse, so you may as well leave now and start rebuilding your “following” anywhere else.
