Fetterman Statement on Department of Homeland Security in Minnesota, Minibus Appropriations - U.S. Senator John Fetterman WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) released a statement responding to growing concerns over the Department of Homeland Security and the upcoming minibus appropriations vote: ...

John Fetterman Finally made a statement. What a fucking hack. www.fetterman.senate.gov/fetterman-st... #abolishice #defundice #iceout

Statement from Senator John Fetterman about today’s events in Minnesota:

Senator John Fetterman sure has been quiet since this last shooting. Of course, even if he came out and was suddenly for defunding ICE I wouldn't trust him. It would come across as him trying to save his career. But at least he could do some good on his way out. #ICEOUT #DEFUNDICE

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

A PROTEST SONG‼️
Some of the greatest music comes from the darkest times‼️

You misspelled #DEFUNDICE

I am sure that Alex Pretti was a good person. But even if he wasn't, even if he was an illegal alien, even if he was a criminal, he wouldn't have deserved to be executed in the street like that. We are a country that used to be based on justice and laws. #minneapolis #GETOUTICE #DEFUNDICE #JUSTICE

Absolutely fuck ICE and nazi Barbie. I require anyone running for congress, president, hall monitor, etc to be in favor of prosecuting every last one of them. That’s the price of my vote.

Make it viral.

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

Walz gives order to prepare National Guard after ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis Minnesota Gov.

Is Walz going to bring in the Minnesota National Guard to protect his residents from ICE?

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Hope everyone is holding up through the start of this year. It's been... insane to say the least. Hoping we can get through this.

Isn't it unfortunate?
Rising prices, not able to afford the basics.
Isn't it unfortunate?
Feeling unsafe in who you really are.
Isn't it unfortunate?
Democracy failing, autocracy rising.
Isn't it unfortunate?
Hate towards others being the new norm.
Isn't it unfortunate?
It feels there is no end.

404 #website not found
the call cannot be completed as dialed
Missed connection, we were on the 72 bound for...

Lost in a haze of regret
of maybes or might have been.
Or wonder at the majesty of chance
at the impossible web of fate
Bringing you here to this moment
To you.
Connection Found.

Beset,
attacked,
surrounded,
trapped within
and without as well
unable to grasp freedom
from the trials that degrade
until a single finger digs
into a hold sought
dragging out
pulling free
seeking
hoping
pray.

My power chair got approved, now to wait for it to be ordered, assembled and delivered! Freedom of mobility here I come!

A flash of white lightning
behind eyelids squeezed tight
against troubled days,
and distressing nights.
Swaying in the breeze
trying not to snap.
As they say, bent
but not yet broken.
Hanging on with a tight grasp.
Deep breaths until sun parts
clouds and thunder.

A forgotten rose.
The echo of a lost kiss.
Was it all a dream?

A birthday stye is not the gift I wanted for my 40th. I don't have a receipt, but can I return it?

It is an aspect of life
to yearn for fate to be real
to let the devil take the wheel
Let things be for a reason, beyond
the random meandering of a universe
that cares not for meaning or purpose
For the events that strike at our lives.
It is an aspect of life to take hold once more
Make your own fate

Though the #plan has been made
it oft isn't followed through
left by the wayside, lost
like a forgotten old shoe
full of holes, battered and beaten
missing to someone, meaningless
to those who never knew it before.

Thudding
Going
Fast
Never
Stopping
the pounding of blood
rushing through my ears
a steady drum beating
as the world spins
out of control
unbalanced
uncertain
unsteady
falling
careening into a haze
of anxious fear
at what will be
for me
for you
for we.

Art is a balm to the soul and a light when things seem darkest. Illuminate the world, cast light on the shadow and don't let them hide.
