- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsAlready seated, listening to Garcia and now Sen. Blumenthal, are two of Renee Nicole Good's brothers, Luke and Brent Ganger. Blumenthal says Good and Alex Pretti, while here in spirit, "should be here in person, but they were murdered. They were murdered by their own government, in cold blood."

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsLuke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”
- We've heard complaints for *years* about the "excesses" of #MeToo, but the Epstein files make clear that not only were we right, the reality was FAR WORSE. And yet all the op-ed authors so ready to wag their finger at the shrill feminists are now sitting silent. I am so goddamned angry.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsI think all these men who benefited financially from proximity to Epstein POST CONVICTION OF PEDOPHILIA should have to pay reparations to his victims, whether they abused women and children or not. They all knew what was going on, and help legitimize him with their association.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsAgent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns. ... Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us. Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols? A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us. R: Pulling out literal guns? A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-Cousinshappening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsAbolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsNo one who has seen the Epstein case unfold should have any doubt left about why victims don’t report. When reporting means facing more abuse, more exploitation, and more betrayal at the institutional level, while the perpetrators are the leaders of the very systems of “justice” supposed to help you

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-Cousinsevery epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsArresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsLooking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsWhen racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found. When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsConfronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsJust visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsToday is publication day! Wow. Thanks to everyone who preordered the book. I really appreciate it. If you have not preordered, then you can go to your local bookstore and pick up a copy. Please send me a pic if you already have a copy or when you go pick it up! I'd love to see it!
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsIan Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
- Abolish this inhumane and criminal organization.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-Cousinshere's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop. Again, this is terrorism.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsSomething important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsBovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsGiving them more training won't make them more peaceful. It'll just make their brutalization more polished and effective.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsBorder Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position. They are losing.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsThe killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

- They will remove Bovino and make shallow overtures at improving the situation. We cannot fall for it. The only way forward is to #AbolishICE.
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsAbolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsThe MN Frost just did a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and we are now chanting “ICE out now”
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsWalz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsSecretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsMinneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsAlso, ICE shouldn't have firearms at all in this context! They are a civil/regulatory enforcement agency. When they are doing domestic immigration enforcement, they don't even enforce criminal law!

- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsBut this was okay…
- Reposted by Sarah Handley-CousinsI don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
