“Native citizens are being stopped, detained, and threatened despite presenting valid tribal identification and proof of U.S. citizenship. Across all three regions, the pattern is the same: ICE treating Native identity itself as grounds for suspicion.”

From Minneapolis To Arizona, ICE Targets Native Peoples - PopularResistance.Org
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has escalated a nationwide campaign of racial profiling and arbitrary detention against Indigenous people, seizing members of federally recognized tribes in Minnesota, Arizona, and Oklahoma in what tribal leaders are denouncing as open treaty violations and a direct attack on Native sovereignty. What began earlier this month with mass arrests in Minneapolis has now spread across state lines. Native citizens are being stopped, detained, and threatened despite presenting valid tribal identification and proof of U.S. citizenship.

Indeed. This letter provides future historians with irrefutable evidence of Trump’s insanity.

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the full unredacted Epstein files.

In my latest for Democracy Docket, I ask why the DOJ failed to meet its deadline for releasing the Epstein Files and why even the rolling productions have now stopped. Also, does any of this have to do with a recent motion filed by Ghislaine Maxwell?

The orange felon wants to invade and annex Greenland whilst in military control of Venezuela but is also asking his fellow murderous dictator Putin to join his bullshit Board of Peace. I truly hate him and his cult.

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.

That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.

America is such a beautiful idea.

We are becoming unworthy of it.

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

I hope everyone in DHS is outside this week in appropriate attire — baseball caps with no ear coverings, fingerless gloves, thin cotton socks, and steel-toed boots.

Trump won in 2016 and 2024 despite the fact that he is emotionally toxic, morally vacant, and psychologically mangled. Why? Because he was a mirror. His supporters looked at him and saw themselves. He made it OK for them to be assholes.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

For Trump to say theres a need to change leadership in other countries I'd say it's time to say the same for the United States.

Unquestionably we are on the dumbest timeline. Our best near term hope, besides for the life of hamberders to finally catch up, is for SCOTUS to invalidate tariffs. But I have little hope for either.

⚠️ #ICE broke into an American citizen home and took him out, half dressed in the cold - only to discover they had the wrong person. In addition, they put a gun to his daughter-in-law’s head. Americans are being terrorized by our own government‼️

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

I spent part of today sorting out what is going on with the Epstein Files. Why the delay? Why have the rolling productions stopped. And, what might a recent filing by Ghislaine Maxwell have to do with it.👀
