More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

Also, plenty of effort to launch a revolution by white men, including McVeigh bombing in Oklahoma City and the Bundy Ranch and Malheur Wildlife Refuge. Plus Charlottesville. It’s not a lack of trying. I did a whole podcast about this: longshadowpodcast.com/podcasts/ris...

Episode 1, Waco: The Spark, chronicles the 1993 FBI raid on the Branch Davidian compound which solidified a far-right movement.

Always appreciate it when a Democrat talks like a normal person. What I also want to hear from @ossoff.bsky.social is his plan for accountability for all the crime-doers. To echo @vermontgmg.bsky.social make criming criminal again.

Trump regime has killed at least 234 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. This is a danger to us all.
