Tired Fascist & cold war playbook- has no traction. Imitating Pinochet will tank GOP even more. Plus US Aspiring Supreme Leader loves commies Xi and Kim so that is a complication.
SCARBOROUGH TO SPINELESS @SpeakerJohnson: “I’m not gonna mock you, Mike, I’m just gonna call you a liar. Because that’s what you are. You know EXACTLY what happened in Maine.” #AbolishICE
ICE has shot and killed two people in the last week. One in Texas and one in Maine.
Both of whom were not targets of their operations or under investigation.
Today, the President told ICE to keep doing that.
It shouldn't be remotely controversial that the death of a man with his 3-year old daughter in the back seat who wasn't even the target of the mission is heartbreaking and must be investigated thoroughly. They dragged his lifeless body out of the car and still handcuffed him. ICE has lost any semblance of trust or respect. We must demand immediate change from top to bottom before more die unnecessarily. This is a moral imperative.
@handsomocity jesus christ , do you think high schoolers don't know this shit happens in the real world ?? next you're gonna say they shouldn't be reading sex ed books
They banned DIFFERENT SEASONS in Utah. Contains STAND BY ME and THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, stories of friendship and courage. Readable by teens, too. What's wrong with these people?
@StephenKing Been reading your books since I was a kid. Salem's Lot scared the crap out of me 😱 TY Stephen! 📚 were not censored in our house. Thank god! It was the 70s...JAWS, Roots,The Stand, Ira Levin, SE Hinton, Judy Blume 🤗 I even managed to read Helter Skelter w/o joining a cult! 😆
ICE killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine.
He was legally authorized to work in the U.S. and had a Social Security number. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least five shots into the vehicle.
He was not the person ICE was looking for.
An eyewitness says an SUV struck his vehicle before the shooting and heard him say, “I tried to stop.”
The ICE agents involved were not wearing body cameras.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY highlights a simple reality: when masked, unidentified people in unmarked vehicles try to ram you off the road, it can be extraordinarily difficult to know who they are or how to comply.
That is why identification, body cameras, transparency and accountability matter.
Without them, this is not legitimate law enforcement. It is fascism.

Doctors say explosive diarrhea can be a sign of a serious medical condition. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seat seats and drives dead bears around in his car says its nature’s way of expelling the toxins from 5G radiation. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Dave Matthews: “This father and grandfather who was murdered by ICE in Houston, Texas. Then they say he’s not even the guy they were looking for. Well then don’t pull the trigger you assholes. It just makes me mad. I want to send this to the memory of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo”
“Rich Lowry, who managed National Review’s decline from the preeminent conservative periodical that stood athwart history & against Trump to a dessicated rag offering half-hearted apologia for a corrupt authoritarian…”
@Suzierizzo1@bonnieknits03 Covering their faces is total bullshit! Acting like secret police. Except they aren't police. They are thugs. Paid for and protected by our tax dollars.
@jonathanvswan Ha! I find Trump calling Jonathan a "flunky" the funniest bit. 🤣🤣🤣
Do you think Trump has forgotten that awesome interview? We never will! 🔥
Invoking his legal authorities and obligations
Houston Mayor Whitmire vows "an independent and transparent” investigation by his office and DA into ICE killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.
Says FBI is "tightly controlling" evidence Houston Police Dept would normally have.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire: For the Salgado family, life will never be the same. At no fault of theirs, Mr. Salgado was chased by a unmarked vehicles. Before he could identify himself and speak as a Houstonian, he was shot and killed. We will use all of our resources to pursue an independent and transparent investigation.
