really a shame to watch walz and pritzker throw away any chance they had at my vote but thats what you get for refusing to protect your constituents in the face of an overwhelming, violent invading force
ICE's approval has collapsed in under a year with Democrats doing absolutely nothing- all they have to do is ride this wave of public opinion but they don't want to. I think you can put this issue squarely in the "complicit" bucket of the complicit-incompetent binary

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

One of the top replies under an image on X of Renee Good's body slumped over in her car after an ICE agent shot her is another user asking Grok to put her body in a bikini. Grok then generated the image.

The guy known for stiffing his contractors, stealing from charities, cheating on his wives, lying pathologically, trying to steal an election, trying to blackmail foreign leaders, and proudly sexually assaulting women? That morality?
President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.

No, arrest the murderer now. If he walks they will keep killing us.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.

This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face.
By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.
