An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich... "That's just how it is."

As corporations shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many have said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

The Epstein files are a reminder of how rarely men police the actions of other men in their peer groups.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Dems can’t pull the, “let’s just move forward and look to the future” bullshit. But I don’t doubt this is their plan.

When Trump's regime falls, there will not be any immunity. "Just following orders" will not be an excuse. If we ever want our allies back, these people MUST be held accountable and amendments need to be made to prevent it from ever happening again in this country!

Republicans set fire to the 1st and 2nd Amendments for Donald Trump. Masked agents murdering civilians and arresting journalists aren't things that happen in America, until now.

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud." Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. The "law and order" president.

The National Basketball Players Association releases a statement following the Trump regime’s murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, saying that NBA players “can no longer remain silent.” The NBPA is standing up for free speech, civil liberties, and the people of Minnesota demanding justice.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens. Call it what it is — fascism. History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.

Trump has unleashed violence on America’s streets for much the same reason he has unleashed violence on Latin America and is planning to unleash it elsewhere: to display his own strength. His motive is to gain more power and, along the way, more wealth. Understand what's going on here.

I’ve previously called out the Small Business Administration for flying the Appeal to Heaven flag–a symbol of white Christian nationalism favored by January 6 insurrectionists. Now, a high-ranking Department of Education official has it outside his office. Unacceptable. Take it down.
