Donald Trump’s supporters are waking up this morning and finding out Democrat Taylor Rehmet won in a Texas district that’s been Republican since 1991.
https://t.co/20lPJCPwu9
Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone thrilled by Taylor Rehmet’s Texas win: a working-class, union-leader veteran just beat a trump-backed GOP candidate in deep red Texas, even with millions spent against him.
This is what democracy looks like!🙏💪
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.
In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.
The child has his hands in the air.
An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.
After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?
Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.
Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.
Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.
ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.
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.
She was an FBI agent. She started an investigation of the murder of Renee Good. Trump forced her to reclassify it as an ICE agent assault. She was then forced to resign.
Trump, the WH and the FBI are COVERING UP A MURDER. #AbolishICE https://t.co/NSJU2neduq
This is Alan Page protesting in Minneapolis today. Alan was a Minnesota Viking, is in the NFL Hall of Fame and is a retired Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court. RESPECT!
Congressman Jared Huffman, "If we're real and honest about what's going on, we have a madman in the White House"
"Trump is running the biggest most corrupt criminal grift in criminal history, out of the White House"
"We take an oath to the Constitution, but it seems all of you took an oath to Donald Trump"
"This is shameful, a disgrace"
"To pretend everything is just fine right now?"
"The madman is in Europe driving our friends into the arms of our adversaries"
"Trump is doing immeasurable damage to our credibility o the world stage and you are just fine with it?"
"What the hell is wrong?"
"I'm not going to just sit here and pretend everything is fine"
"This is wrong. This is not normal. And I'm not going to normalise it"
ICE is suddenly all over central Virginia today.
And wouldn’t you know it, it’s happening exactly as Virginia inaugurates its first female governor and the state government flips blue.
This isn’t “enforcement.” It’s intimidation with a badge.
🚨BREAKING: Virginia’s new Governor Abigail Spanberger was sworn in and didn’t waste a second.
Her FIRST move: repealing Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that pushed state/local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
Donald Trump scrapped free entry to National Parks on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and replaced it with his own birthday.
California will not be following that path.
I've directed @CAStateParks to offer free entry at more than 200 participating parks on MLK Day.
WATCH: Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.
Three are still unaccounted for.
Let that sink in.
The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.
🚨NEW: The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for standing up against ICE.
RETWEET if you stand with Mayor Frey against the Trump Administration!
This is horrific: ICE manhandles disabled woman, on her way to a doctor's appointment, smashing her windows and dragging her out of her car. The cruelty is the point.
Make sure everyone sees this.
ICE agents detained a U.S. citizen legal observer in Minneapolis, smashing his car window, dragging him out, and placing a knee on his neck, conduct banned under Minnesota law after George Floyd.
🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera.
In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say they’ll “take pictures at HQ”… and then force him into their SUV anyway.
That is deeply alarming.
Law enforcement is not allowed to detain people first and figure out who they are later without lawful justification.
Detaining someone without verifying identity, without probable cause, and without allowing them to present ID raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns.
You cannot seize a person just to “check” who they are.
This also mirrors what DHS has now openly admitted: that people are being detained first and sorted out later based on suspicion alone.
That means innocent people, minors, and U.S. citizens are being taken into custody without verification, without charges, and without due process.
If the government can forcibly detain someone simply to identify them, that is not law enforcement… that is unlawful detention.
Trump’er House Speaker Mike Johnson says that “if [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell is innocent, then he can prove that.”
No, his accusers need to prove he’s guilty. That’s how law works.
(And he spent nearly 20 years as a constitutional law attorney.)
America really is lost.
