1/2: This is more than not liking the party in power. This is realizing that our government and 1/3+ of the people in the country are morally bankrupt. Knowing our allies can never trust us again because, even if we get rid of DJT, the US is 1 election away from another wannabe dictator.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Until we stop electing Democrats who are really just soft around the edges conservatives nothing will change. We will go back and forth between soft conservative Democrats and regressive Republicans.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors

The next government shutdown could hit at the end of this month, and if the budget bill includes more funding for ICE — shut it down!
ICE is a horror show of abuse, violence, and human rights violations. Every Dem in Congress should be talking about it like @repespaillat.bsky.social

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?
Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.
That matters….

American Keith Porter was killed by an off duty ICE Agent who lived in hs building on New Year's Eve.
I hadn't even heard of this.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Trump is cutting over $10B in social services and child care funding from Democratic-led states, claiming he is preventing fraud. About $7.35B will be blocked from California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.
