The sexual predator, felonious occupant of the WH was the supplier. He, his cohorts, & his enablers must be held accountable. The survivors deserve justice.

Do not forget:
Congress absolutely can rein Trump in.
The constitution is clear about that.
Congress is the check on his power, and they have refused to participate.
They are just as culpable and it needs to be said to them constantly and loudly.

They are literally abducting people from their cars.
This is at the same Speedway gas station in St. Paul, MN, where they dragged a man off like a sack of potatoes.
Look at the brutality and violence they are using here.

Like this is amazing for unhoused people, a dearth of public bathrooms is totally about creating a hostile world for them, but also speaking as someone who is on Metformin and has a sibling with ulcerative colitis just being able to easily find somewhere to POOP in a sudden time of need is so great
Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Saturday announced an initiative to install more public bathrooms across the city.

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

An initially-secret report for Customs and Border Patrol in 2013 found:
In many vehicle shooting cases, the “driver was attempting to flee from the agents who intentionally put themselves into the exit path of the vehicle, thereby … creating justification for the use of deadly force.”

People also “think within the frame” of democracy. It’s also a compelling narrative. The right to protest your government is a key part of democracy, within that frame Good was exercising her protected rights and acting as a citizen in the best way. She was murdered for being a good citizen.

Please join me in praying for my city's only synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, which was set on fire in the early morning hours, yesterday.
Nobody was hurt and a suspect has been caught and charged with arson, but not much is public. Beth Israel is part of JXN's long tradition of racial justice.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

To recap, Trump held a meeting with oil executives about his big scheme to convince them that conditions are stable enough for them to get involved in Venezuela.
He proceeded to wander around the room and even read a private note Rubio passed to him out loud, thus restoring everyone's confidence.

Kind of crazy how much this was described as “getting up to look at his ballroom.” But isn’t it still just a hole in the ground?

I'd love to see a reporter ask rank-and-file ICE agents if they understand that the administration is clearly hoping one of them gets killed out there.

"Are you ready to give your life to become a meme pushed by incels on Twitter for a couple days?"
The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.
But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
