A video played of a lady who was devastated because of the Pretti murder. She said they’ve killed us, dragged us out of our cars and homes, do we need to start mobbing them? ~ A MAGA video replied, “try it, there are more of us than you.” But latest polls show 61% of ALL Americans disapprove of ICE.

What I’m curious about is, where did ICE get this supposed list that they are using to go after people?
Why are so many people on this list American citizens?

MAGA is the biggest criminal organization that’s ever existed, outside of Putin’s Russia. And just like any mafia, they will intimidate you into taking what they want the “easy way or the hard way.” If Minnesota doesn’t acquiesce to ICE, they won’t hesitate to kill you. It’s that simple. Criminals.

Minneapolis PD must bring in the man who shot and killed another man in their city. It doesn’t matter if it was murder or “justified,” the man must be held and questioned. Booking means they would have all the shooter’s particulars, which would be released to the public. No one is above the law.

Polls have dropped like a rock, and Europe humiliated him for his stupidity and lies. There has been an uptick of BS right-wing propaganda on the socials.
The way it looks, February is going to be the big push to take everything over, and by force if it stalls. Trump plans on using that ballroom.

Okay. But why, as Democratic Leader of the House, are you refusing to use your position to whip every Democrat to oppose this spending bill?
That’s what leadership would do. It’s what Democrats across the nation are demanding and the strength needed to stop what’s destroying American. LEAD dammit!

House Democratic leaders will oppose DHS funding bill as party rages over ICE
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his team told members in a private meeting that they'll vote no. But Democratic opposition is unlikely to sink the funding bill.

We’re enduring the problem of a “businessmen” running government. For them everything is a means to profit. Health, food, shelter, safety and environment, the most fundamental necessities of life are treated as a way to profit. But, “businessman” is not on the list of great leadership qualities.

I wonder how long it will be before small platoons of well armed, well geared civil units walk the streets in Minnesota to make sure protestors are protected and ICE doesn’t get stupid anymore.
Of course local police should be doing this already, since they’re being paid by the people in the state.

Okay. At this point we know what’s going on. We don’t need comparisons to Nazis, we don’t need to talk about the same slogans they’re using or that ICE is acting like a Gestapo.
Because we know and they know that is exactly what they’re doing.
The real question is what do Americans do about it?

We have to face reality. If the ICE Gestapo is given immunity for any action they take, Democrats have to take the gloves off too. We can passively accept the brutality, and be taken to a prison with no rights, or resist and sacrifice now. Because they aren’t going to stop until they’re stopped.

If a child was 5 or 6 at the start of the Trump years, that child has grown and matured into young adulthood, never free of the poison that MAGA has used to fill their developing minds with hate, violence and the worst of all, that truth itself has no value. They are America’s Broken Generation.

There is no doubt at this point, that the ramping up of ICE Gestapo in Minneapolis are for one reason. The city is being invaded, incited and prepped to be the flashpoint for martial law, that will sweep the nation. Because MAGA is fracturing, the timetable is being sped up to before the mid-terms.

The MAGA thugs have set up a “life imitates art” reality. The ICE numbers increase, tensions boil, the waters are tested with the killing of Renee Good. And, no one was arrested, no one shot back, our highest leaders absolved the murderer. Prepare for ICE’s Purge in Minneapolis.
Have mercy.

Hope is in the numbers. You never see a fascist response that comes close to the response from those of us who stand against them. Tens of thousands in the streets to say “No More!”

In the fight against fascists ending our democratic government, we must vote out most of the current leaders who have become part of the MAGA/America First movements. But, maintaining democracy requires at least 2 parties. Define an acceptable right leaning party, that won’t bring MAGA repeat fears?

PD officers should annually repledge to the defense of the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. A public ceremony, to clarify what that means and their correct commitment. Should they qualify or deny that pledge, fire them. They’re not ICE, and must defend the people who pay them.

When this vile MAGA mess comes to an end. Democrats cannot omit the word retribution, from the process of holding officials and foot soldiers who carried out the madness, accountable.
No one gets a pass because he just drove the ICE car, no passes for just following orders. No, “I’ll just go home.”

European NATO countries that now find themselves at odds with the U.S., should make Trump an offer. $1 trillion dollars, along with a $50 billion bonus to him personally that he could place into a tax free Swiss account - for the purchase of Florida. His properties could remain but under EU laws.

No one elected Stephen Miller to be the shadow president. It’s about time this country digs deeper, distracts him a lot more, and reduces that brainless twit back to the kids table where he belongs. It feels like we’re living in one of those “1945 - This Time the Nazis Win” sci-fi novels.

U.S. Military may have to watch their backs. Not because of the left, but because of the Secret Police organization Trump has built. ICE guys are older, undisciplined, and have a budget that rivals most country’s spending. They’re also not bound by the UCMJ or restraint, other than loyalty to Trump.

What will it take, how much corruption, how much danger on the world stage, how disgusting the personal behavior have to be, how much the theft, how incapable and unqualified the people placed in power, how juvenile, compassionless and lawless must Trump be, before his support finally says enough.

For the big picture of Trump’s real goals, using the most dangerous military on the planet, keep stepping back. As soon as you think you see it, step back and ask, “why so much oil?” Step back again, then again. He has designs for this planet and his ego, that are genuine madness. Step back again…

Holy shit. Can you imagine any other person in government, having this photograph revealed to the public, where he is intimately kissing an obviously under aged girl (13 or 14 at most), let alone the president of the United States, and not being immediately removed, and put on trial as a pedophile.

The US incursion into Venezuela, ends any debate, MAGA is the new NAZI party. Supremacy of race, gestapo, suppression, lawless military. How is Trump justifying the coup in Venezuela any different than Hitler in Poland? Hitler wanted “Lebensraun” (more living space), Trump said it’s for the oil.
