Cartoon on ICE Agent Kills Woman During Minneapolis Immigration Raid

Bribery is an impeachable offense even if it’s a bribe to secure a presidential pardon. If the quid or the quo is impeachable, the right response to the quid pro quo is to impeach and remove the president

In Ancient Rome, the emperor had personal revenue from Egypt that he used to buy bread and circuses for the Roman mob and maintain his power.

Kristi Noem: Anyone who is a citizen of this country or is here legally has nothing to fear Renee Nicole Good was a US citizen.

False imprisonment & in a sense would meet the standards for kidnapping charges in a number of states. At a minimum she should be entitled 2 compensatory & punitive damages. Trump admin won't do that, but paid >1 million 2 family of Ashley Babbitt who was justifiably killed.

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Charges have already been dropped

No, Pete Hegseth’s plan to cut Mark Kelly’s military pension probably won’t work. https://t.co/bNBUorTYsW

I keep thinking about the Buddhist monks walking for peace — step by step — from Texas toward Washington, DC. Everywhere they go, people gather. And many of them cry. Not because the monks are saying anything dramatic, but because they aren’t saying much at all. They’re just

"I DOUBT NATO WOULD BE THERE FOR US, IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM". I dont know how to explain that statement to the Danish mothers and fathers whose sons never came home from Afghanistan.

For the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either.

NYT: In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles. In each case, officials

Reminder: it was recently reported that ICE slashed officer training from five months to 47 days to flatter Trump’s ego as the 47th president. Recruits showed up without full vetting, with criminal records, failed drug tests, not meeting basic standards. https://t.co/9xOxeuu3km

🇬🇱 - When the USA bought the West-Indian Islands from Denmark in 1916 the US signed a convention recognising Danish sovereignty over all of Greenland.

Mulvaney says ICE killing Renee Good could be “the Kent State moment” when “the public turns against the (anti-) immigration movement.”

Spoke on background with two attorneys who have defended officer involved shootings. Both have always taken their cases to trial. After reviewing the events today, both said if it were their client they’d advise: -Seek a plea deal -Be willing to plead guilty to a lesser crime

it’s probably worth noting that for all of the right-wing narrative around Minneapolis being unsafe, there has only been *one* homicide in the city so far this year. it happened today and was committed by a masked ICE agent

Any member of Congress could put an end to this Greenland nonsense by introducing a war powers resolution prohibiting military action against any US treaty ally. That vote would be privileged, meaning it would have to get a vote, and it would pass.

‘It’s time’: Trump Store in Bucks County closing due to declining sales

I don’t know about you, but domestic terrorist Ashli Babbitt’s family getting $5M - while Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s family getting nothing - is so fucking wrong.

ICE shuts down restaurant owned by U.S. citizen—for putting up "No ICE Welcome" sign. 50 armed agents block shop entrance with official vehicles. "This is intimidation—I'm scared for my life with all your guns out here," he says. "Why y'all doing this to me? I'm just a citizen
