A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Donald Trump's secretary of homeland security makes some excellent points about Donald Trump's extreme guilt

I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

This image popped into my head. Total double standard, as always. Taking over a NPS building was framed as AOK by Fox and company.
Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?
Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Not that we don’t protest too — we do — but Renee Good and Alex Pretti (and those who witnessed and documented their executions) were legally observing ICE kidnappings and alerting their neighbors to ICE presence. It’s not a protest, it’s a public service. It’s how we’re protecting our neighbors.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

This is the giveaway that it has zero to do with criminals. Cops aren't about to stop arresting a serial killer if there was a large crowd booing them and honking. ICE is trying to menace a community. Inflict violence and terror.
Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Here’s the deal: the people who were given authority and didn’t use it to immediately hold Trump accountable (Pelosi, Biden, Garland) didn’t want to.
The one guy who was given authority and almost immediately began indicting Trump - Jack Smith - DID want to.
That’s it! We’ve cracked the code!

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
