I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

It’s part of the plot. He doesn’t have it on purpose, for whatever crazy scheme they’ve cooked up this time 😡

Susan Crawford Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Election, Despite Elon Musk’s Millions Susan Crawford defeated Brad Schimel for a State Supreme Court seat in a race that shattered spending records and maintained a liberal majority on the court.
