I’m hosting a gun safety class at a local range geared towards disarming and dis-assembling weapons. Too many people think it is shooting or nothing; guns exist in our communities and we need to know how to safely neutralize them.

If there’s any doubt about the cruelty of ICE…
The one who shot Marimar Martinez bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”
The one who killed Renee Good called her a “f*cking b*tch” and denied aid.
When they put ten bullets in Alex Pretti, one of the agents applauded.
Tear it all down.

The age of adulthood should be raised to like 21-25. Holy goddamn shit, 18-year-olds are just babies! Why are we treating them as adults?! Why are we letting them into the military?! This is so fucked.

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

The government now knows they will be removed and prosecuted if there is an election.
And they will act accordingly. We cannot be surprised. We must be prepared.

Fun fact. The Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant, who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on an Italian dish, that went on to be most popular in Australia.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.

It would be sensible for senior democrats to hold a press conference and announce that they intend to go after Trump and his goons if elected.
I mean, it's the least they should do right now.

We can’t be doing “government as usual” while a federal goon squad is gunning down Americans in American cities. Congress!! What are you doing? Either stand up NOW for the constitution or resign!! This is a constitutional crisis. Show us you understand that.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Analysis | Whether it was furnishing Jeffrey Epstein with young girls in the 1990s or furnishing Stephen Miller with murders in the 2020s, Donald Trump has always helped his closest associates get an erection.

Absolutely fair question.
Why do we have to go through all this so one man can stay out of prison?

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

I have to believe there’s at least one FBI agent who’s seen the Epstein files and is also horrified by the murderous acts of these evil fascists. Revealing the truth would be the greatest of patriotic acts.
