What gives you hope in these awful times?

I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.

What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.

If only the Insurrectionists (including Trump) had been held accountable right after January 6th.

The insurrection is ongoing because it was never stopped.

This is a tipping point.
- 61% have an unfavorable opinion of ICE (The Argument/Verasight)
- 59% say ICE is too aggressive, up 10 points since July (Fox News)
- 58% say ICE has gone “too far” (Reuters/Ipsos)
- 55% have very little confidence in ICE (YouGov)

ICE needs to be DISMANTLED NOW. Unconditionally. Not “Reigned In” (Sorry Tina Smith), not Reformed. ICE is an agency that is operating outside the law and murdering people. ICE is not redeemable. Alex & Renee deserve Justice. END ICE.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

ICE OUT NOW!!!!

Some more #GraphicTruth for you today. MAGAts can spew lies all they want but we know who's been inciting violence from Day One.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

BREAKING: Thom Tillis Pulls No Punches During Takedown Of Noem's 'Incompetent' Leadership Of DHS YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News

During remarks on the Senate floor Thursday, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) criticized Secretary Kristi Noem for her leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Senate Democrats have blocked budget approval of DHS & the other depts in the bill. Great job everyone. Your letters, emails, phone calls, office visits, or catching ypur rep at the restaurant. We won this round. Do not stop. Keep the pressure up.

If she takes Miller down with her it will be the only useful thing she's ever accomplished.

For anyone so inclined, my advice is that it's time to start a whip list of Senate Dems demanding that Miller go.

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.

Don’t let up.

CHICAGOANS - Heads up, everyone. There were also sightings in Indiana.

FBI executes search warrant at Washington Post reporter’s home The search came as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.

This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.

Social media users feared he might have died, but his sister, Consuelo Henriquez, that he is alive and currently in custody at a detention facility in El Paso, Texas. 🙏 💚

A viral video circulating online showed a man appearing unconscious after being tackled and restrained by federal agents at a Speedway gas station in St. Paul.

Oversight Dems • @OversightDems X.com We are sure it's just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions. We have not forgotten, and we won't let up - regardless of the President's new unconstitutional

US President Trump timed the illegal attacks on Venezuela to coincide with the statutory deadline for his administration to explain the unlawful redactions made to the Epstein files, which it had partially and illegally released past the ordered dateline. #OpDeathEaters

In a highly unusual move, the EPA is revising an assessment of the health dangers posed by formaldehyde, a widespread pollutant that causes far more cancer than any other chemical in the air.

Cuba said on Sunday that 32 of its citizens had been killed in the U.S. attacks in Venezuela, including military or intelligence personnel — a rare public signal of Cuba’s importance to Venezuela and the Maduro government.
