HE SAID THE THING
ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

It is time to eradicate AI from all educational environments. Find another way. Maybe teach kids about AI like when we learned about drugs in middle school.

I'm FOR the independence of the Fed.
I'm AGAINST the attack of Jerome Powell.
I HOPE business reacts strongly.

But it would be nice if business types, now bestirred, also condemned ICE's attacks on immigrants and Americans--not just Trump's attack on the Fed.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

On the first anniversary of my mother’s death, the kids and I went to a mass intention, and we had some close friends, who lost their own mothers recently, for a meal she liked me to cook: clam chowder, sourdough bread, & a mice steak with a good Morgon.

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.”

That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Vice President JD Vance’s comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith.

His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.

I have watched the video of the horrible ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis over & over.

It is grotesque to hear Kristi Noem justify her killing as a response to "domestic terrorism” & for Trump to spread further lies on social media. [1/2]
