Morrison: "The president & Noem are asking us to not believe what we're all seeing with our own eyes. It's incredibly irregular for the secretary to come out making pronouncements before victim had even been identified. We didn't even have her name & she was already calling her a domestic terrorist"

Please share.. ICE THUGS shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. Then attack citizens point blank with teargas grenades, pepper ball guns & chemical spray in the faces. Of course, Greg Bovino was in the mix. He needs to be brought up for murder charges.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

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.

I am deeply troubled and saddened to hear that ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen earlier today.
We know the Trump Admin is all too comfortable lying to Americans, which is why we need more details and a full, independent investigation into what happened instead of taking their word for it.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Be aware! Most modern European democracies were inspired by the pro-democracy revolts against the ruling class that erupted across continental Europe in 1848-49. But the fundamental rights that were won for us back then are in danger of being reversed by the authoritarians and oligarchs of today.

🇵🇱🗣️ Sikorski: NATO was created to contain Russia. Then we spent 20+ years trying to Europeanize Russia. And it was Russia that decided to abandon all of that and try to rebuild its empire. We will not allow this. By the end of decade, we will be stronger, and Russia will have a terrible hangover.

I’m at a loss as to why Starmer won’t tackle our media ownership (75% owned by 2 RW billionaires) & the BBC which is still controlled by a cohort of RW Tory appointments.
You also have to ask why he won’t resurrect Leverson 2?

This sounds like it's straight out of the book of the Nazi's MO.
Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.
Don’t let this go!!!

“It is stark staring obvious what Britain should do in response to Trump’s tariff madness and wider economic sabotage. Get back into the EU as fast as possible. Then join EU single currency and intensify EU economic and security integration as a matter of urgency.”
