16 years ago today, the Supreme Court made its absurd Citizens United decision, opening the floodgates for big money to overwhelm our democracy.

This video is from 2020, but it still rings true today: we have to get Big Money out of politics.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.

Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

Hey MAGA: If y'all are so concerned about fraud, then why is it every time we turn around, your crooked president is pardoning another rich white person for fraud? Where's your outrage?

Or does it only matter if they're Somalian?

Why does DHS keep telling you false information on Minnesota about:

- what they mean by "criminal" immigrants
- the legal standard for arrests
- what the Supreme Court has said

Also, what implications does this have for Insurrection Act?

Preview below of 1st issue. Full video next in thread.
