Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

Horrible.
Their 6 month old stopped breathing & lost consciousness after #ICE threw tear gas canisters & flashbangs into their car, deploying the airbags and flipping over a child's carseat.

Only 1 news outlet is covering this story of dangerous #ICELawlessness.

Please tag your local paper & media outlets.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

The @hennepinatty.bsky.social and my office have an interest as state prosecutors in fairness and transparency. To the degree possible, we want to set forth a process about which fair-minded people can say when it’s over, “as good and just of a job that could be done was done."

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

This thread is horrifying, and is only happening with the complicity of Congress and the Supreme Court
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽

Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
