I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

One person a little bit wrong equals an innocent person dead or injured.... Not insignificant in terms of consequences really I think?
Trump: "We take out drug dealers, we take out a whole group of people by the thousands. And if we get one person a little bit wrong -- headlines. But they don't talk about all the tremen-- the reason we have Minnesota crime down is because we took out so many criminals."

But we saw it removed from him before they pumped 10 bullets into him. Disgusting....
Trump: "I don't like the fact that he was carrying a gun that was fully loaded and he had 2 magazines with him. That's pretty unusual. Nobody knows when they saw that gun."

Jeffries: Federal taxpayer dollars should actually be used to make life better for the American people, not kill them. Our position is clear: Kristi Noem needs to be fired immediately, or House Democrats will begin the initiation of impeachment proceedings against her.

Garcia: If this reporting is accurate on Bovino, it is great news. He clearly has no business running any federal agency.
While this is a positive development, it changes nothing. Kristi Noem must be impeached immediately, or she must be removed by Trump.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

It should freak the American people out that Trump, Noem and Bovino lie so enthusiastically. He wasn't "brandishing a weapon". He wasn't attending a "riot" or "interfering in a crime scene". He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights.
