Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing.

But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Tim Walz: It feels very, very difficult that we will get a fair outcome ... because people in positions of power have already passed judgement. From the President to the Vice President to Kristi Noem, have stood and stood you things that are verifiably false.

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

I think it should go without saying that any investigation or prosecution of the ICE agent murderer must be conducted by the state of Minnesota. This FBI & DOJ absolutely can not be trusted to take lead. #AllTheyDoLie #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Trump and his closest advisers have for over a year been tempted with lucrative business deals if they just help Russia “solve the Ukrainian problem”.

The pitch is simple: normalize relations with Russia, make big money with Putin – but first force Zelensky into a bad deal so the fighting stops.
Here's the translation👇

"The world you grew up in no longer exists."

To sum up;

Trump started an interventionist war to steal other peoples stuff, and to get a photo op. Nothing else.
No regime change. No improvement for the people. No upholding democratic values.
And for this he expects the Nobel Peace Prize.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Scum.

Any European leaders paying attention?👇
1/5 Europe still treats unmanned systems like a niche.

Meanwhile, Russia already has an 80k-man strong unmanned systems branch that it plans to double in size in 2026.

If we do not scale up fast, we are handing Moscow an advantage that could cost us our survival

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.
