Springsteen at an unbilled performance at a Parkinson’s benefit Sat. in NJ—

“…send a message to this President. And as the Mayor of that city has said, ‘ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.’ So this one is for you, and the memory of the mother of three and American citizen Renee Good.”

In a way, #Putin even got more then he ever could wish for

All for free by #Trump

Alliances shattered, internal threats, everyone really disliking the US, speaking about war within #NATO even

It's unbelievable how much damage that senile dic(tator) has done within a year

I really hope we learn from this.. But history shown otherwise I guess

I loved this too much. ❤️ 😆😆😆
Americans are turning against ICE, with many now supporting the abolition of the agency in the wake of the murder of Renee Good. As Donald Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act, Democratic leaders are stepping up to fight back. And as the midterms approach, some good news for Democrats' chances of taking back Congress. Important to pay attention to the bright spots amid the darkness. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progressive-wins-january-18
Good News For Progressive Views The Week Of 1/9-1/15

In the wake of the murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, the Trump administration tried to gaslight the nation into thinking she was a “domestic terrorist” and that her death was justified.

The Big Picture
Whenever you see what #ICE is doing in front of cameras, you must imagine what they're doing where nobody can see them--like in the concentration camps the USA is building. It's easy to read those words and much harder to fathom what they mean; that this is happening in our day and age, in what until recently was believed to be a first world country. "Abolish ICE" doesn't go nearly far enough in my view.

@philipncohen Just checking... are you posting and following me as @PhilipNco?

Wanted to make sure it's you before I follow back.

NYT reports that the TSA is giving ICE a list of every person who's to be taking a domestic flight inside the US so ICE can run it through their database looking for targets.

I'm not a lawyer, but I feel like the 4th Amendment has something to say about this.

Too bad they furloughed or fired all the workers who could remove it.
