“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

@atrupar The Trump administration are the agitators, ICE agents are the domestic terrorists. They have created unrest, distrust, and fear in our cities, and have murdered innocents exercising their rights.
His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.
And they executed him.
GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.

So, Republican lawmakers are proposing a statue honoring Charlie Kirk for our nation’s capitol.
If anyone deserves a statue it’s U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman, who actually defended our nation’s capitol by diverting an unruly MAGA mob away from Senate chambers.
This is when we see who is serious about their oath & who isn’t. This President continues to exceed his powers because Republicans care more about a pat on the head than they do being patriots. OUR TROOPS, OUR LAND, OUR CITIZENS, & OUR STANDING IN THE WORLD are all being put at risk!
If republicans are so supportive of his acts, then he could have come to Congress for approval… but he’s been allowed to unconstitutionally grab immigrants, then US citizens off the streets because too many people continue to pretend like this is nothing more than a game!
I’m disgusted at how feckless & weak elected “leaders,” are being in this moment!
I’ll put it this way, if the justification for grabbing a president comes from having indictments….
something tells me this precedent won’t age well!
@MalloryMcMorrow@MalloryMcMorrow I'm going to take a closer look at the other Dem candidates for MI Senate. I need a candidate who is ready to push for real change, to finally get the US on par with other leading nations, with healthcare for all.
@MalloryMcMorrow No Mallory, we need Medicare for all - complete healthcare system that benefits everyone, and that does away with private insurance companies that provide no added benefits, but increases healthcare costs to pad their pockets.
It’s one thing to not support Medicare for All. It’s another thing to purposely spread misinformation about it, and a Public Option, when you know better.
Medicare for All uses our tax dollars to fund a universal healthcare (not insurance) system that covers everyone, expands coverage to include vision, hearing, dental and longterm care. Its cuts spending by up to $450 billion per year, and saves families money by eliminating copays, premiums and deductibles.
A Public Option, while better than our current system, is still insurance-based, still benefits the private insurance industry, would leave millions without coverage, keeps healthcare costs high, and costs more than our current system.
Healthcare misinformation costs lives, not just money.
I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
