- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadMAGA is abandoning Trump. A Republican just said Trump's post this morning is the most racist thing he has ever seen. The White House is defending Trump, urging the media to talk about other things. Okay, no problem. I can do both. Here is a full breakdown of how Trump is in the Epstein files.

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadWe didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.
- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadPoverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadI hope every person on Earth listens to this. America is not gone yet.
- Healthcare is a human right. Healthcare is a human right. Healthcare is a human right. ❤️ Fundamental. Non-negotiable. The serious question current healthcare conditions force us to ask: Who is human enough to have that right? #paulfarmer #ripPaulFarmer (every person is a person)

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadVoting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadSo which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?
- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadI'm running for Congress to replace a Democrat that continually votes to fund and enable this violence. This terror squad needs to be off US streets. I will vote to #DismantleICE every time I have a chance. Watching Federal Officers kill a man in cold blood is unacceptable.
- 🚨 #GVerse ANOTHER ICE KILLING #BreakingNews : A video is circulating online of #FuckICE agents appearing to EXECUTE a man on a Minnesota sidewalk who was resisting arrest. We’re waiting for more facts but the video is terrifying. Viewer discretion advised:
- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadI just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadI haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law. 1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos 2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota 3. ICE claiming the power to enter our homes
- My neighbors in SW Washington are having issues with ICE brutalizing them, disrespecting their rights, and more specifically attempting to deport a widowed father w 4 US citizen children (ages 4-23). What will you do to help these neighbors?
- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadMamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

- Reposted by Teresa WinsteadMinneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
