I implore my fellow Dems not to overthink this. You can just say - I’m against the government shooting people in the face for no good reason. This is not hard. Same with the ludicrous invasion of Greenland. Democrats are anti-invasion of Greenland bc it’s the dumbest thing ever. Be ruthlessly blunt.
New CNN polling:
Most Americans see an immigration officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good as an inappropriate use of force. Roughly half view it as a sign of broader issues with the way ICE is operating, w/under 1/3 saying that ICE operations have made cities safer.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

At least 33 of the Jan 6 insurrectionists pardoned by Trump have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes since the attack.
But that doesn’t matter to Trump. All he cares about is loyalty — and he’s rewarding it through his pardon scheme.

Support climate solutions for coral reefs
Coral reefs experienced a massive bleaching event this year putting over 80% of the world’s corals in peril. Climate change is highly dangerous to coral reefs and the marine life they support, but coral bleaching can be reversible. We can’t give up on these incredible ecosystems, but we need your help. Tell your elected leaders to support climate solutions today!
