Tell local prosecutors to follow Minnesota's lead

The deportation forces are not above the law in Hennepin County, Minnesota if nowhere else. Yesterday their lead prosecutor Mary Moriarty announced charges against an ICE agent for the second time, this time against Christian Castro for four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.

Castro shot a man named Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the thigh, firing through a front door while in the process of chasing Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, who lived in his apartment complex. Homeland Security then accused Sosa-Celis and Aljorna of beating officers with a broom handle and snow shovel, calling it “attempted murder” by “violent criminal illegal aliens” and blaming Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for encouraging assault against law enforcement. Both were charged with crimes. Those charges were dropped, and video eventually publicly released proved this story was a lie. (Both Sosa-Celis and Aljorna are also, incidentally, in the country legally.)

That prosecutors are attempting to hold officers accountable for this flagrant violence and misconduct is positive, and they indicated they were still investigating the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. The bad news is no one appears to be following Hennepin County’s lead. Prosecutors in Durango, Colorado are charging a CBP officer with misdemeanor assault for attacking a demonstrator, but these are the only deportation agents facing legal consequences so far. While state and local governments face serious challenges indicting federal officials for crimes on the job, it’s not impossible, and we need frontline agents carrying out Trump’s agenda to go forward knowing they are not immune.

🗣️ If we’re in areas that have been terrorized by the deportation machine, let’s reach out to our own local prosecutors and state attorneys general and tell them it’s time to step up like Hennepin County did and commit to prosecuting any crimes by ICE and CBP agents to the fullest extent of the law.

Congress has the power to stop Trump's slush fund - tell your reps we know it

Trump has now agreed to a settlement with an IRS commissioner he can fire and an acting attorney general who wants a nomination to drop his $10 billion lawsuit in exchange for a $1.7 billion slush fund to "compensate" the henchmen who committed crimes for his benefit. This could include the nearly 1,600 people charged with attacking the Capitol to overturn the results of the election on January 6th.

This is a theft from the American taxpayers, playing out right in the open. The White House is going to use our money to pay off himself and the thugs who committed political violence on his behalf. There will certainly be legal challenges ahead, but as Rep. Jamie Raskin has pointed out Congress has power over spending, which means they can stop it from going forward... and if they don't, it's because their members/leadership are making a choice to allow it. 🗣️ Let’s reach out to our reps and demand they prevent a single penny of our money from being used for Trump’s slump fund. We can find scripts and email language to use here, or text SIGN PMLDMK to 50409 to send this message directly via Resistbot. 🗣️

Tell Congress Big oil windfall profits tax > gas tax holiday

With no re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz in sight and experts suggesting we'll see the national average price of gas reach $5 a gallon as early as June, the Trump regime is trying to do something, anything, to indicate to the American people that they care. Their latest suggestion: suspending the federal gas tax.

The federal gas tax is an easy punching bag, and it’s frequently an early target when politicians need to look like they’re doing something about gas prices. (It’s already been suggested by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle since Trump began his war, although congressional leadership does not seem enthusiastic.) But pausing it will not in fact do much to help consumers. We pay 18.3 cents in federal taxes for each gallon of gasoline and estimates suggest we’d only see prices fall 10-16 cents, meaning we’d be reducing today’s average national price to $4.34 at best – still higher than it was a month ago, and still climbing. Furthermore, every dollar we end up saving as consumers from a gas tax suspension is a dollar that’s not getting used for the highway and mass transit repairs that that tax is supposed to be funding.

Activists and Democrats led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Ro Khanna have been pushing a real solution to put money back in our pockets. They’ve proposed a windfall profits tax on the fossil fuel industry (the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act, S.4111/H.R.7960), which return some of the excess money they’re making off this crisis to American households. And there’s plenty to return: Big Oil, who donated massively to elect this presidentmade $30 million *an hour* extra for the same amount of oil in just the first month of the war, and could ultimately clear more than $200 billion in excess profits off Trump’s “excursion.” Trump has been openly gleeful about how this war is driving more oil sales from Texas. That’s money that’s better used by regular working folks who are trying to make ends meet.

Let’s reach out to our members of Congress and urge them to ignore Trump’s band-aid with the gas tax, and support the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act as a real answer to rising gas prices. We can find scripts and language to use here. We can also send this message via Resistbot by texting SIGN PJIYXQ to 50409.
