It's heartbreaking that it's an abstract attack on the Fed Chair that is getting the Rs to speak out and not the ICE thugs bullying our citizenry in their own neighborhoods with lethal weaponry and lethal follow throughs. Whatta country.

I get what you are saying, and I think the more evidence of evil and misdeeds the better. Whatever works...There is something to alarm everyone in this administration. I live in Minneapolis, and I am nervous and angry. ICE was looking for people in the block north of my daughter's house not far from me. Children are terrorized by this, any children, it is beyond the pale. It is disrupting businesses in the cities, people are afraid to go to work, afraid to grocery shop. Hatred is bad but this effort is vile, vicious, and infernal. I remind myself an accounting will come.

It's awful living through that. The fact that state governors have allowed ICE to blatantly violate the Constitution by assaulting, bullying, trespassing, kidnapping, and killing while masked and unidentifiable as verified LE for almost a year? a year? and have done very little to push back despite being able to activate the National Guard is beyond infuriating.

Minneapolis should be littered with Don't Tread On Me flags and banners.

I don't think there will be much if any accountability in the end. And the quantity of Trumpers who support and get off on ICE's shthole-country activities is disgusting.

ICE is effectively the paramilitary wing of the Trump administration

That’s because they fear how this affects them and their financial stability in the long run, and they simply don’t feel the anguish of the loss of a young mother - a progressive - the way they feel something they perceive as directly impacting them. Pathetic

Oh, it's much bigger than Ms. Good. Apparently ICE has been swarming Minneapolis neighborhoods since early December, bullying and letting them know who's boss on their own streets and outside-inside their own homes, per the Constitution.

Trump 1.0 was furious when his orders to shoot BLM protestors weren't followed. He asked if they could at least be shot in the legs. No, he was told. Ol' Boss Hogg didn't forget.

Robert Reich just listed Five things we average citizens can do. Can’t find his list right now. One was protest peacefully, another was call your state representatives, no matter their political affiliation.

Thanks. I looked it up. Our legislators don’t have town halls or if they do it’s in towns that are definitely conservative. I have been saying on Threads marching isn’t enough. He said boycott businesses that support Trump. I can easily contact my legislators but they don’t respond, but I will do that.

The middle class work classes are stuck in the middle of this power struggle, and our president is trying to use his authority to dictate this country without using proper procedures and laws that have been place for over 200

More examples of the MASSIVE Corruption and MASSIVE Grifting of this Corrupt Regime. This is all about Trump and his billionaire buddies (wanting Powell out so they can continue their grifts and rip offs of the American people) stuffing their pockets with our money and RIPPING OFF Americans of our money. And Pam Bondi - the Criminal - is going after Jerome Powell? What a joke! You mean Pam Bondi - the Criminal - who is in Violation of the law in her Continuing Cover Up of the Epstein Files of Pedophiles and Sex Traffickers which was signed into law by her dear leader. That Pam Bondi who has doing NOTHING about the MASSIVE "waste, fraud, and abuse" by people like Philip Esforms, Joseph Schwartz, and Paul Walezak...https://youtu.be/EUkyKtNkFt0?si=l2QSvWHKYvHODxIw.
