This is a test for Democrats right now.

If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE...

Right now.

No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.

Please do not give MS kids such a bad rap.... As a retired MS teacherer and prinicipal (over 30 years), I can state unequivocally that I rarely confronted this type of behavior and when I did- it did not end well for them. That is all.
Serious issues confront the nation and the world and Trump has unleashed a race to see which elected leader can behave more like an obnoxious middle schooler.

What a model to set for the next generation.

Our problems run deep and will take a civic awakening to recover.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...
Rep. Kelly announces plans to impeach Secretary Kristi Noem
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) announced plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem following the fatal shooting by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.

Dems are still approaching this wrong. I just saw a BBC host ask a state senator if Tim Walz should call out the National Guard.

He says, "No, because Minnesotans know how to protest peacefully."

THAT'S NOT WHO THE GUARD IS FOR. THE GUARD IS TO PROTECT THE PROTESTERS FROM LAWLESS FEDERAL AGENTS.

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.

Martial law is the next step. We are all at peril. And our media continue to normalize the fascism.
Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Platner statement in the wake of the killing of a woman in Minneapolis, apparently by a masked ICE officer.

Some local Maine context: A bill to prohibit ICE from wearing masks in Maine was blocked from consideration in Nov by Dem leaders Daughtry, Fecteau and Pierce. None have said why. #MEpolitics

The man who shot and killed that woman in Minneapolis today had the word "police" on his chest.

But these ICE agents are not police. We don't have a national police force. Policing is state and local in the US. "Police" implies local origins, understandings, connection, and accountability. 1/
This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Four days ago human pretzel Susan Collins said she supported the Venezuela invasion because it was a limited scope law enforcement operation to arrest a criminal. (tinyurl.com/52j4cvbk) And now? #MEpolitics
Susan Collins on right-wing Maine radio this morning: “There needs to be a means of getting Venezuelan oil back on the market, both to help compensate those American companies but also to provide revenue to the Venezuelans.”

Paul Singer, whose firm owns the US subsidiary of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, spent millions in 2024 to re-elect Trump.

Now, after Trump's invasion of Venezuela on behalf of Big Oil, he's set to cash in on his investment.

A government of, by, and for the billionaires.
