Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

I think as of tonight it's imperative on governors to recognize that Trump has abdicated his office by waging war on Americans.
It needs to be stated clearly. I am aware of what this means.
I'm absolutely NOT advocating anybody go out and do stupid shit. Don't go do stupid shit

Our ancestors were real breathing people who turned sticks into fire, their descendants spent thousands of years building a regime of unsurpassed global peace and prosperity, and we shall not entertain the suggestion that it all ends here just because the man with the golden toilet says so.

Again, the question is not “will there be elections.” It is “Will the far right authoritarian party accept the results of elections?”
In 2000, SCOTUS stole the election
In 2021, there was an insurrection to steal the election, & a majority of GOP Reps voted to steal the election
In, 2027/29…? 🤷♂️

Yes, there will be elections. Yes, they will be “free and fair” sort of, aside from the military mobilization & mass voter suppression which won’t really qualify them as such. That’s not the question. The question is what comes after. Jan 6 was a dry run. We failed the test. We will see next time.

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed an unarmed civilian, flew a don't-tread-on-me Gadsden flag at his house, per the Daily Mail.

As I've been saying for years, the police are out of control.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.
