EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

This article's well-designed graphs and visualizations make a compelling case that the standard wisdom that "most voters are moderates" overlooks the essential distinction between "moderate" and "null" ideology. "Null" voters may *ignore* left/right: "Give me practical help for folks like me?"

Left: C3P0 gleaming and capable. Right: Gonk droid looking like the walking trashcan it is.

AI promises C3P0 but delivers gonk droid.

My mom sent me this video saying it reminded her of me when I was little. So I made it into a video that we send each other now if we are fighting and need to just call a truce.

Feel free to pass it on and use it. 🩷

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

NEW: The classified opinion by Trump's Office of Legal Counsel says the US personnel taking part in lethal strikes on boats would not be exposed to future prosecution, per sources. “It sounds like an admission that there is no legal basis for these strikes” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I’m gonna sleep on this one

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Called and left messages for @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov asking them to hold firm on the ACA

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Keep track of the victories when they come

(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST. IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Are you still using Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

One. Special. Boy. A 230+ year old experiment with the rule of law & a constitutional republic, all cast aside for the most boringly corrupt & lawless authoritarian one can imagine. Mind boggling how completely every institution has failed to meet the moment.

Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

You tell 'em, Bill.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The Trump administration doesn’t know if the people in this boat committed a crime

Didn’t arrest them

Never indicted them, conducted a trial, proved their guilt or-if they were actually convicted-argued over their sentence

No-they simply killed them

Then broadcast the murder on social media

The US government: Well, we might have zip-tied children and/or shot them with rubber bullets, but not the young ones! (not a joke or an exaggeration)
