No lies detected.
If you're supporting ANY politician who doesn't support single payer healthcare ( #MedicareForAll) then you need to find a different politician to support.

Only when as a whole we begin doing this we're going to keep running around in circles fighting for what's right. It's time

There are some Democrats willing to fight the horror that is upon us, but what we don't have is an opposition party, and voters need to change that by voting out the 149 god awful collaborators.

NEW: ICE officers in Minn executed a man they were holding on ground. I'm not exaggerating. This is real footage published in Minnesotta Star Tribune. Officers surround man. They are beating them. Then you hear shot as one ICE officer executes the man. Every officer involved MUST be charged!

Trumpers are attempting to systematically nullify the authority of Minnesota law enforcement agencies. That is a blatant violation of the Constitution, and specifically of the 10th Amendment.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Hey Ryan now that I have your attention - check this out - the FAA has basically made it illegal to fly drones anywhere in the Twin Cities. I filed a complaint with the FAA three days ago

From Steve Simon, MN Secy of State. ICE agents chase down and handcuff a child in negative temperatures while he's saying "I'm legal".

How is this making us safer?

This is GREAT to see!

He flipped! He was a YES vote on #ICE funding but did a 180.
We need more of this happening. There's literally NO reason to vote YES on funding ICE given what we're seeing & what we've seen.

Every single Democrat who votes YES must be kicked out of Congress forever. Period.

Tim Kaine is a NO on the funding bill 💥

Every Democrat should be a NO on funding ICE’s cruelty, family separation, abuse, and disappearances.

SHUT IT DOWN.

Trump is weak, Bondi is weak, Miller is weak. The administration is filled with cartoon bullies who crumple when they face real opposition. Minnesotans get it. Denmark gets it. Lower court judges get it, and the best have moved into DGAF mode. When will SCOTUS get it? slate.com/news-and-pol...
You observed on Wednesday that a lot of the justices sounded pissed. They were like: How did we get to this point? And it’s their own fault! They gave Trump so much leeway in all of these earlier cases to break the law. Then they seemed irked when he crossed the line that they had tried to draw in the sand over the Federal Reserve. They seemed to wonder: How could this happen? Well, look in the mirror. When you capitulate, you empower Trump to push further past your limits. That’s the lesson that the international community seems to have learned, and that our more courageous judges in the lower courts have learned. Let’s just hope that John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett are learning it now, because it’s one of the few things that could turn around this catastrophe. With Trump, you’ve got to hold the line, or else you just get bowled over. That is what everyone out in the streets in Minnesota is doing right now, and we are seeing the results. The average protester blowing a whistle on the streets of the Twin Cities has shown more courage than John Roberts has in maybe his entire career.

If we have term limits on the Presidency then there should also be term limits on SCOTUS & all of Congress too.

Part of the problem today is people who are completely entrenched in Congress. It silences new voices, keeps young people out, & is a huge roadblock to the social changes we need 👇🏽

These 7 DEMOCRATS voted YES to fund ICE.
Their Congressional phone numbers are listed so you can call & let them know what you think.

These people need to GTFO out of Congress immediately. And remember, Pelosi, Clyburn, & Hoyer campaigned hard for Cuellar against his progressive female challenger.
The image contains a bold text message on a yellow background with black and white text. The text reads: "THESE DEMOCRATS JUST VOTED WITH REPUBLICANS TO GIVE ICE MORE MONEY" Below this headline, there is a list of seven names of Democratic politicians, each followed by a phone number in parentheses: JARED GOLDEN (202) 225-6306 HENRY CUELLAR (202) 225-1640 DON DAVIS (202) 225-3101 TOM SUOZZI (202) 225-3335 LAURA GILLEN (202) 225-5516 VICENTE GONZALEZ (202) 225-2531 MARIE GLUESENKAMP PEREZ (202) 225-3536 There is also a large emoji of a smiling poop placed over part of the list, covering some of the text. The overall tone of the image is accusatory, highlighting these Democrats for voting with Republicans to increase funding for ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The design uses high contrast colors (yellow, black, white) for emphasis and visibility.
