This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Oh, I get it now...Trump is personifying anti-woke!
There's nothing wrong with his health--he's just anti-woke.

Didn't Trump normalize the bone-sawing of Jamal Khashoggi just a few weeks ago?
A WP reporter's home was searched. There'll be some outrage. But it'll become normalized. Then, some reporters will be rounded up, sent to a facility somewhere, and no explanation will be given. And that'll be normalized, too. We'll become desensitized.

The reporter states that some Republicans want to take away citizenship from citizens convicted of fraud...are they talking about Trump? Wouldn't that apply to him and his kids?
AOC: So long as the Republican Party and the Trump administration is using ICE to attack American citizens and shoot mothers in the face. I'm not willing to have a conversation with them about any other bad faith attempts to terrorize US citizens.

"Workers should never be subjected to vulgar language or behavior by anyone-included the President of the United States." Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself.

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board.
It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do.
Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

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.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.
This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

I voted for Tim Kane every time his name was on the ballet. NEVER AGAIN!
Ah yes, the GOP gets to continue destroying the government, the Dems get a line for an email.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Unions matter. Especially NOW.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
