When Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis, he says he was detained and shackled for hours.
“We're turning into something that I can't even begin to respect, and something that I literally went to war—or they told me I went to war—to fight against,” he says.
Since he was arrested, he’s continued protesting. Mother Jones senior reporter Julia Lurie spoke to Austin outside the Whipple Federal Building, where ICE is based.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
Jennings: I care about where Alex Pretti came from, what part of what group was he in? Was he part of any kind of a training organization? I believe that there are well organized, well trained and well-funded agitators who are showing up
West: Where you see professional agitators, I see courageous citizens who have a righteous indignation and a moral outrage
Gavin Newsom continues to mock Trump and MAGA is absolutely losing it. They continue to attack him for acting like this, but see no problem when Trump does it. We smell hypocrisy
We are here for this Governor Newsom. Drop a 💙 to SUPPORT Gavin.
Smart people always make dumb decisions.
This Nobel Prize winner spent 34+ years proving it.
He uncovered an unconscious flaw in human decision-making.
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
And you'll question every decision you've ever made: 🧵
FOX (“EDITS THE TAPES”) NEWS MUST CANCEL THEIR WEEKEND STINKERS IMMEDIATELY!!! THEY ARE VERY DISHONEST AND ALL THEY DO IS TRASH ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR (AND MANY SAY THE MOST HANDSOME IN HISTORY, THANK YOU!). LARA TRUMP’S “SHOW” IS A TOTAL DISASTER. NO PERSONALITY, NO TALENT, VERY LOW ENERGY. SHE DESPERATELY NEEDS "COACHING" FROM CRAZY FATHER-IN-LAW!!! ALSO, WHY DID FOX LET MARK “NOBODY” LEVIN (I HAD TO GOOGLE HIM) TRASH ME???? HE SAID I AM TOO POPULAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND HE HATES THAT THE PEOPLE LOVE ME AND HOW I MAKE TRUMP LOOK LIKE THE WEAK LITTLE (HANDS) MAN HE IS! MARK SHOULD TAKE “NOTES” FROM JESSE WATTERS WHO KEEPS CALLING ME “DADDY” EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM NO THANK YOU!!! CANCEL THE “FOX NEWS STINKERS” NOW! THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO STINK UP OUR AIRWAVES ANY LONGER! AND PLEASE NO MORE NEGATIVE ADS ABOUT ME! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN
WOW! FOX NEWS CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT ME (GAVIN C. NEWSOM), AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR!!! TONIGHT THEIR ENTIRE PRIMETIME LINEUP WAS ABOUT ME! JESSE WATTERS KEPT CALLING ME “DADDY” (VERY WEIRD, NOT INTERESTED, BUT THANK YOU!). SEAN HANNITY (VERY NICE GUY) NEARLY CRIED BECAUSE I WON’T TAKE HIS “ADVICE.” SORRY SEAN!!!! THEN THEY DRAGGED OUT THE B-TEAM OF DUMB DUMBS: “MEATBALL RON,” TOMI “TOILET” LAHREN, AND TEDDY “CANCUN” CRUZ (HE EVEN FLEW BACK SPECIAL FROM MEXICO!) ALL WHINING ABOUT ME, GCN! THEY HAD TO “PLAY THE MUSIC” TO SHUT TED UP ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR (I GET IT! SO JEALOUS!). TOTAL DISASTER. MAGA HATES ME BECAUSE THEY HATE YOU. THEY HATE THAT CALIFORNIA IS THE 4TH BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. THEY HATE THAT CRIME IS DOWN, THAT WE’RE #1 IN FARMING (I LOVE THE FARMERS!), MANUFACTURING, TOURISM & TECH… ALL WHILE WE GIVE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, FREE SCHOOL MEALS (MAKE AMERICA PREGNANT AGAIN!), PAID “BABY LEAVE” FOR MOMS (THEY SHOULD NOT RETURN ANYWAYS!!), $20 MINIMUM WAGE & SO MUCH MORE FOR THE PEOPLE!!! THEY HATE THAT DEMOCRATS ARE WINNING. FOX & MAGA HAVE NEWSOM DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!! THEY SHOULD CRY HARDER! SAD!!! — GCN
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING — AND I AGREE — THAT I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR) DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE. WHY? BECAUSE OF THE “MOST INCREDIBLE MAPS IN THE HISTORY OF MAPPING” (EVEN COLUMBUS). THESE MAPS WILL END THE “VERY RIGGED” ELECTIONS, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (MAGA!!!), RETAKE CONGRESS “FOR THE PEOPLE”, AND SAVE DEMOCRACY. NOBODY ELSE COULD HAVE DONE THIS — CERTAINLY NOT THE “SELF-PROCLAIMED” MASTER DEALMAKER DONALD “TACO” TRUMP (TINY HANDS) WHO MISSED “THE DEADLINE” AND LOST (SAD!). PEACE THROUGH MAPS — NO ONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE. I AM THE “PEACE TIME” GOVERNOR NOW, STOPPING “POLITICAL WARS” BEFORE THEY START. HARMONY, UNITY, EVEN LOVE. THE NOBEL COMMITTEE HAS GIVEN THIS AWARD TO LESSER PEOPLE FOR MUCH LESS. I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, ACTUALLY EARNED IT. THE WORLD WILL BE SAFER, KINDER, AND FRANKLY MORE “BEAUTIFUL” BECAUSE OF MY MAPS. GIVE GAVIN THE NOBEL, MANY ARE SAYING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN
We’re heartbroken to hear about the passing of our brother in rock, Ozzy Osbourne. A voice that changed music forever. From Black Sabbath to his solo work, Ozzy redefined what it meant to be heavy. He did it all with heart, grit, and that wild spirit only he could bring.
Our love goes out to Sharon, his family, his band, and the millions around the world who felt his fire.
Rock on, Ozzy. You will be missed, but never forgotten!
– Aerosmith
