FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

Pouring more money into DHS while it operates with impunity and a blatant disregard for human life is unconscionable.
You don’t fix abuse by funding it. You stop it by cutting off its funding and dismantling the institution that’s terrorizing communities.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Donald Trump has called the past year a win for his administration.
It’s been failure after failure from taking away SNAP benefits, shutting down child care, or making goods more expensive with tariffs.
365 isn’t even close to the number of failures he’s had.
