Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

When the Secretary of Defense celebrates the murder of a man who took care of veterans, I'd say he lost the plot but I'm not sure he ever had a grasp on it in the first place.

I always say send an armed militia to investigate white collar crimes while simultaneously firing the actual white collar crimes prosecutors
This is nonsensical even by the standard of Trump’s addled conspiracy theories

So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero.
But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?
No one is buying this BS.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Watching this old man take a water bottle and slowly walk into a mist of tear gas is going to stay with me. Everything they do to make people scared empowers them all the more.

Stephen Miller is unelected, unconfirmed, getting people killed, and shredding the social fabric of this nation. Members of Congress should be demanding his exit from the Executive Branch.
Of course the repulsive Stephen Miller rushed to defend the murderers. And of course our spineless, pathetic vice president rushed to retweet Miller's lie.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

This morning, federal immigration agents publicly executed an observer at 26th and Nicollet Ave South. Observers are out in the community because they care about our immigrant neighbors. They do this out of love and helping keep families together. 1/

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE is still out and about. If you’re not protesting, make sure you’re patrolling your neighborhood.
We’ve seen multiple ICE cars this morning outside of Waite Park and Cavell Park. Make sure you have eyes on your neighborhood today, and dress warm.
