An unwrapped tamale.

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. Move to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/6EaCsCzR

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I’m in my lane when I say that you can’t call yourself religious if you are not feeding the hungry & clothing the naked & welcoming the stranger.

Period.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

I believe it was a Reagan thing and then Mario used it in his DNC speech to rebut.

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. πŸŽ‰

BREAKING: Maine voters reject a sweeping Republican-backed anti-voting ballot measure that would have created a new photo ID requirement for voting, eliminated programs that expanded access to absentee ballots, ended the state’s permanent absentee voter list and more. Story to come.

Gonna be honest, I was worried these were flying under the radar and more vulnerable. This kicks ass.

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

The media landscape shrinks even further.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

President Trump can take action NOW to provide full funding for SNAP. That's not conjecture, it's a fact.

The GOP's refusal to fund food assistance in November is a deliberate choice to cause further suffering. Kids shouldn't go hungry because Republicans refuse to govern.

It’s 11:38 Tuesday. I’m writing to thank Sen Jeff Merkley of Oregon who’s holding the Senate floor, speaking about the authoritarian government. I hope you’ll join me. I’m also thanking NJ Sen Andy Kim who just spoke on the floor as well. They are doing a great job, calling truth to power!

You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.
