I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Among many ironies here is that “mafia state” is probably the best descriptor of modern Venezuela. Basically a mafia beef between two gangsters.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Trump's illegal bombing killed at least 40 Venezuelan civilians. Is that an acceptable expense? How bout 400? 4000? Where do we draw the line?
An undocumented immigrant killed Laken Riley & the Trump regime condemned all immigrants, gutted due process, & gave ICE $80B.
What are 40 murders worth?
