Sen. Jon Ossoff’s investigation found 85 credible reports of medical neglect in ICE detention between January and August. ICE is paying CoreCivic $739.2 million for one San Diego facility alone, and GEO Group projects $3 billion in revenue this year.

Black leaders across the South have expressed a visceral shock in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. But as the surprise wears off, a sense of isolation has begun to set in among some. 🔗 politi.co/4vSW46T

Not exaggerating: What’s the reason for the change? Fish are showing lower levels of toxic chemicals known as PCBs, which is shorthand for polychlorinated biphenyls. Zero context on why the levels used to be high (INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION) and how they were lowered (REGULATIONS LOWERED THEM)

I'm really happy that it looks like Bovino is being underbussed, with Noem likely to follow. But that's certainly not enough. Trump is obviously trying to distance himself from the murders of Good & Pretti & the chaos in MPLS but he bears ultimate responsibility. Don't let him (or Miller) slide

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Thing #2: Propaganda chain: Detailed ,(false, per videos) statements by DHS/Noem/etc out well before any investigation could have happened. Not surprising, but also not normal & shouldn't be normalized. Reporters need to be asking Abt this & all coms need subpoenaed when that power is available.

Thing #1: The eyewitnesses. There are multiple reports of witnesses being taken from the scene by CPB. I haven't seen anyone in the national media cover this or ask about it. Confirmed? Who was taken? Where are they now? Nat'l press needs to be asking.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

@JohnMitnick
I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trump—now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

Democrats need to understand that if the regime can get away with shooting people under the pretext that they were trying to subdue a dangerous person who was resisting arrest, it won't be long before they can get away with shooting people without the pretext that they were resisting arrest.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
