IMHO, the problem with many Americans, is that we do A LOT of bitching, whining, complaining, and waiting for someone, anyone, to "please" rescue us from the clutches of Dickstain Jackass Chump's twisted agenda and his throng of MAGA moron lunatics.

Today, the world honors Martin Luther King Jr,,, and every day Public Enemy honors him.

We was touring with U2 and they respected our desire to boycott playing in Arizona since they wouldnt recognize MLK Day. We just walked off stage.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

A reminder that not so long ago we honored immigrants in the US, even by carving monuments like this one at Immigration Point, over the Golden Gate connecting the Pacific to SF Bay.

Trump is a bully. Bullies are cowards. You don’t try to suck up to or bend the knee to cowards. You stand up to cowards. And punch them in the face. Jerome Powell did just that last night. And it was awesome. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

MASS NON COOPERATION WORKS.

We’ve seen it.

When the community responds in mass to ICE raids, or brave Americans refuse to open the door so ICE can take someone who has run inside, the Gestapo retreats.

Be brave. Make noise. Link arms with your community. Refuse to give up your neighbors.

This is the blueprint. Pay attention. When ICE shows up, neighbors alert neighbors with whistles, horns, voices cutting through fear.

People come out of their homes. And when the community reaches critical mass, ICE is forced to retreat because occupation fails when the people refuse to disappear.

Note, again, ICE is targeting WOMEN. These men illegally burst into her home because they don't think a woman--especially one with children--will fight back.

These men are predators, just like Epstein & Trump. They see women, especially with children, as vulnerable prey & selectively target them.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play.

Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

If Congress waits, Trump will simply seize it before Congress can take a vote. Congress needed to vote on this LITERALLY yesterday.

Every hour that passes there is a MAJOR risk that Greenland is stolen from its people AND the NATO alliance immediately collapses.

How can they not see this? Act NOW.

For the umpteenth time: Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to this country. He’s unfit to be president. He should be removed from office.

NEW: Statement of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Trump’s criminal investigation into him. He says they are seeking an indictment over his Congressional testimony, but calls it pretext to pressure him into lowering interest rates.

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!”

Calling her a ‘fu*king bitch’ immediately after shooting her 3 times in the head clearly indicates he fired his gun IN ANGER and NOT in self defence.

He kills her because he can’t control his anger.

This is murder. Any society that deems it otherwise is not a just society.

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

The bare minimum needed in this moment:

- a thorough investigation led by state law enforcement
- the ICE thug brought up on murder charges
- Kristi Noem’s resignation
- a complete overhaul of ICE with rigid congressional oversight
- Trump censured for his lies about the murder

Trump, Noem, and this entire criminal administration must be held accountable by Congress for their myriad crimes against the public. It is the solemn constitutional and moral duty of all members of Congress to exercise their legal authority to remove them from executive office.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

The protests will grow.

All it takes is a spark.

6 years ago it was the murder of George Floyd, caught on camera, just a mile from where this happened.

Now it's ICE murdering Renee Good.

Both times, MAGA and Trump sided with the murderer.

Enough. We have the numbers.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.
