They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Quote from Trump just minutes ago: "The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting." In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Dozens of migrants on Omni ICE flights may have been shackled for more than 73 hours in October and more than 80 hours in December, leaving some elderly deportees too weak to walk. Flight data backs this up. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A man deported to Laos in October told me he was shackled for 73 hours after his Omni plane unexpectedly returned to Louisiana, which flight data confirms. He and nearly 200 others were kept restrained overnight before a second takeoff; at least 20 elder deportees were so weak from sleeping on the floor that they needed to be pushed across the tarmac in wheelchairs and carried to their airplane seats, he said. 

Flight data shows an Omni ICE flight out of El Paso made a similar return in December before restarting its deportation journey. An immigration attorney told me a Vietnamese client onboard was shackled for more than 80 hours.

There needs to be an effort to monitor for cases where lawful, 1A protected speech gets punished through even small administrative actions like denying enrollment in Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check. We already know that they have publicly slandered peaceful protesters as "domestic terrorists"

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
