If someone says they're from Indivisible ask them what they think of Chuck Schumer. If they say they like him it's ICE.

@whstancil.bsky.social why do you think 7 Dems voted yes today? We grieve with you and those in your area: also I’m just so confused and disheartened but you know politics better than anyone: why did the 7 do this?!

ICE should be dismantled immediately. 

I will not support funding for the Department of Homeland Security when ICE and Border Patrol agents are assaulting protestors, detaining and arresting people with impunity, inciting violence, and shooting and killing American citizens. 

Read my statement:

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

Senior White House official says local and state police in Minneapolis “have been ordered to stand down and surrender.”

What?

Thank you for pointing this out Lloyd. notice the pattern: he gets drunk on his own power the more people obey. Machado gave her his medal bc she thought he’d give her more power (he won’t), and now he thinks with threats Norway will walk back their statements the prize can’t be transferred
Trump once again endangers our security and serves Putin by weakening NATO through an extraordinary message to the Norwegian Prime Minister: “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace”

Saw on Instagram that some local mansion is getting torn down and replaced with a five-story apartment building and of course the xomments are full people crying about Brooklyn becoming "only for rich people".

Brothers in Christ who do you think owned and sold the mansion.

I buy this bcuz GOP congress craven idiots: WWIII could cut into profits so they don’t want it but will only cowardly whisper their intentions. So Miller/Hegseth will start with Civil War first and imprison Congress, THEN invade Greenland. They just helped him get the order of operations right

MINNESOTA: Friday is a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action.

Plus, there will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Sure seems like ICE is gping into a violence spiral in MN. They act out, people monitor and protest, they get madder and more agitated, people monitor and protest more.

They‘re going to kill more people, administration’s going to congratulate and encourage more, they’re gonna kill MORE people.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Seriously tho
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
