More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

It’s very simple IMHO. Chuck looks at Republicans and sees his Senate work buddies. Bill looks at them and sees people who pretended to be his friends and lied to his fucking face about supporting every principle he holds sacred for years. This is because Bill is smarter and has self respect.

In a separate example of how far the administration will go to increase its deportation numbers, the memo said immigrants who won protection from being deported because a judge ruled they could be persecuted or tortured in their home country should be considered for expulsion to a different country.

While true, the Democrats have also very deliberately avoided doing a lot of obvious and easy things to put maximal pressure on the GOP. Things like holding town halls in GOP districts, Senators going into GOP held areas of their states and BLASTING them etc. There's A LOT the Dems should be doing
