The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Remembering the people who, back in 2016 or 2020, wrote things like "run them down!" celebrating vehicular homicide against protestors— and the state laws that formalized that celebration!— because it was so scary to be surrounded by protestors as to trigger the right of self-defense.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

Wow, Hilton, you just blew the greatest public relations coup and bout of goodwill and relevance your brand could've ever hoped to score. You've chosen to stand against your own employees on the wrong side of history. I'll never understand why corporations make such dumb moves. Read the room.

Big businesses like Hilton will always side with fascistic forces like ICE, so we need to stand up for the workers who push back.

Hey,

I don't post political shit here but if there's ever a time to take to the streets and demand justice NOW IS THE TIME.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Scum.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped spread the word. Thousands of Minnesotans gathered tonight for a vigil honoring Renee Good, who was murdered by ICE agents. Let’s get ICE out of MN!
