Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of repression. This case isn’t isolated. It’s part of a broader effort to silence dissent and erode democracy.
But despite the administration’s best efforts, we’re going to win.

The job of our police is to keep people safe, not enforce fed immigration laws. I want them preventing homicides, not hunting down a working dad who contributes to Minneapolis and is from Ecuador. It’s similar to the policy your guy Rudy had in NYC. Everyone should feel comfortable calling 911.

I share Paul's frustration!
Progressive politicians who post on X (virtually all of them) in particular frustrate me. It's literally run by one of your very worst enemies! Come on!

How do we convince reputable journalists and politicians to get off of X? They are the ones that help legitimize X with each post. X generates sexual abuse and still, these people use X. I don’t get it.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Here it is. For the third time.
I'm calling on DHS and DOJ's IGs to heed the public outcry and finally launch a joint task force to investigate the horrific pattern of brutality from Trump's agents, including the public execution of Alex Pretti.
We demand accountability. Now.

We need everyone we can get in this fight against a fascist takeover.
If your first instinct to someone being politically mobilized by all this is to give them a sneering "well, what took you so long?" you don't actually care about our winning this; you just want to be able to say you were right.

No one will read this but I’m becoming enraged listening to Bovino on CNN right now. We need to do so much more to prevent us from living in a country that Bovino wants us to live in.

The brave people of Minnesota have endured two weeks of the Trump regime’s paramilitary occupation, sent to intimidate, beat, and raid civilians across Minneapolis in a campaign of fear meant to crush protest and dissent.
Today the people showed they will not surrender. #3E

I want to add, things are really hard here in MN. Many of us are barely hanging in by a thread.
Your coverage, recognition and words really mean a lot to us. We really do need the encouragement and messages of solidarity.
