Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order?

FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Frey: So to everyone listening, stand with Minneapolis, stand up for America. Recognize that your children will ask you what side you were on. Your grandchildren will ask you what you do to act to prevent this from happening again…

The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.

Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.

So while this Administration may not hold anyone accountable, a future Administration will.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

🔥@MarkRuffalo: “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered. We have stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him… this is crazy.”

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

@screenrant Everyone wanted to see them back together. JJ was the one who was clueless.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost:

Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."

In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.
