Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. The SAVE Act doesn’t fix a real problem; it creates one. It builds a giant bureaucracy to hunt for rare cases and ends up blocking huge numbers of eligible citizens who did everything right.

Three-time Trump voter: I voted for him, and I want to apologize. I’m looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment. All he does is lie. He’s unworthy of the presidency, takes bribes openly, and now he’s being openly racist. He’s a rotten man.

"They called me a domestic terrorist. They put me in federal detention centers with the bullet holes all over my body. They had no idea that I wouldn't intentionally damage my almost paid off vehicle, much less be crazy enough to even consider hurting a law enforcement officer."

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Rep. Morrison: Two Minnesotans are now dead. A poet and a nurse. For what? We cannot lose any more lives. We need a full, transparent, and comprehensive investigation. ICE and Border Patrol need to halt all operations in the state and leave immediately.

I think it’s safe to assume that we now know why Trump told the Republicans to kill the bipartisan border bill during Biden’s presidency. They’ve been planning this for a long time.

Video shows the shooting victim in Minneapolis did not brandish a weapon and that ICE took his weapon BEFORE they assassinated him. It is legal to carry a firearm in MN. @occupydemocrats.bsky.social
BREAKING: Trump admin caught red-handed LYING about the man ICE murdered in new video that shows the man just filming them!

In response to the execution of a bystander by ICE agents who beat him senseless before killing him, the Department of Homeland Security smeared the victim as “an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement” because he “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun.”

But new video shows this isn’t the case at all. One video taken by someone passing by the incident shows the victim filming the officers and then getting accosted. 

Other videos show an ICE agent disarming the man by removing the pistol from his holster — which he was legally permitted to carry — BEFORE the agents open fire, meaning they indeed did murder an unarmed man who they had already restrained on the ground.

ICE just killed a man in cold blood for no reason, and now the government is once again shamelessly lying about it, just as they smeared poor Renee Good as a terrorist. 

Lock them all up and throw away the key.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Judge ordered 2 y/o child's release. ICE deliberately circumvents the courts, so children become collateral. Judges are bypassed, lawyers are shut out, force is used to clear a path for disappearance. This is not chaos or error. It is deliberate and is happening in Minneapolis.

Sixteen years after Citizens United, billionaires still drown out voters with dark money. Wages stagnate. Prices rise. Democracy bends toward whoever can pay the most. We don’t fix this by waiting—we fix it by ending it.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video.

They killed a mother of three, then shut out local investigators. 🚨 An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis—and the U.S. Attorney’s Office blocked Minnesota officials from evidence, witnesses, and accountability. No transparency. Just violence and cover-ups.

A federal immigration officer just killed a woman in Minneapolis during a so‑called “operation.” Officials call it self‑defense. Witnesses call it what it is: an execution-style shooting of a legal observer. ICE has no place in our communities.

Five years since January 6, 2021.
A mob incited by Donald Trump attacked the U.S.
Capitol to try to overturn an election he lost.
Don't let them rewrite history. This was an attack on the Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power.
Never forget.
