Democrats need to do more than post on social media and curse in press conferences about ICE terrorizing communities.
Stop funding President Trump’s personal agents.
Arrest ICE agents that are breaking laws.
The moderate wing of the Democratic Party is failing the people.

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control.
Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

This photo was taken just as the ICE agent killed a 37-year old American citizen and mother who had just dropped off her 6-year old daughter at school. The officer is not in danger and was not injured. There is no riot. (Trump lies.) He is standing at the open window and killing the woman.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?
Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Watching the footage from Minneapolis is a gut‑punch reminder of the darkest chapters in our history. We don’t need 2,000 federal agents storming our cities—we need a federal government that actually respects the Constitution it swore to uphold.
