I am so fucking ashamed of being an American.
Trump on Omar: "She's always talking about 'the Constitution provides me w/ the following.' She comes from a country that's a disaster. It's not even a country. They're good at one thing - pirates. But they don't do that anymore bc they get same treatment from us as the drug dealers. Boom Boom Boom"

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.
This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Please examine what body cams *didn’t do* to stop police violence over the last decade plus since they were initially touted as a solution and understand that some of you are now rallying behind a false solution that will be a tool of criminalization more often than anything else.

If this actually happens, I will, not kidding, make a point of getting arrested so that my name and face gets on this list.
And I think so many Americans will do the same that the database will have too many people on it to be used for punishment.

A lot of people like me who thought the Democrats were suboptimal on foreign policy but broadly ok and largely found the far left unserious were handed giant Fell For It Again Awards by the Biden administration
I think the thing that completely broke trust on specifically this is that Biden was actually kinda decent on foreign policy and then just completely atrocious on the major foreign policy issue of the second half of his term out of nowhere

One of the nice things about living in Wisconsin's 2nd district is that I can trust that Mark Pocan will be ahead of the pack on issues like this.
146 House Democrats back the articles of impeachment I introduced against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem has blood on her hands. Under her leadership, Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good were murdered.
Impeach Noem. Get ICE out of our cities.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this?
This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

One of the main problems with DHS agents is borne out of a constant history of the same problem with all “law enforcement,” namely that they are held to lower standards of behavior than Joe Citizen, not higher. If I cross the street and push someone who is annoying me, I go to jail for assault.
