You may not have heard, but it’s important. Dems are holding shadow hearings on ICE crimes. Witnesses provided harrowing and explosive accounts yesterday. I provide some highlights from the day, and I urge everyone to watch and amplify them. Link in the replies.

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states.

People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced legislation on Friday to slash the entirety of the GOP’s massive ICE budget increase and funnel the money toward undoing Medicaid cuts.

The extra $75 billion granted to ICE could instead prevent 700,000 people from losing health care, Sanders said.

I am horrified and disgusted by the lack out outrage on the part of the corporate media to the arrest of two Black independent journalists on Friday for doing journalism, Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Where are the editorials? I'm mulling. In the meantime pls read:

I'm glad to see this. I hope it's not just because ICE is harassing local LE and they're personally mad though. Either, Jonathan Ross might stay free until we have new DOJ and can get the evidence, but there's no reason to wait on this murderer.
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.
