That feels wrong, somehow. 🤔

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

No one has ever sat in a parked car with the radio on waiting for a Kid Rock song to finish.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

We are now 41 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files.

I hope you’re right

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds playing CSNY’s “Ohio” with a little “Killing in the Name Of” thrown in.

Gee if only the USA had like an amendment to get rid of obviously demented presidents

I mean it could have been invoked at least a dozen times already

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity.

It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything.

Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember this.

😡😡

Wouldn’t an advisor have a better command of the English language? The Norway letter feels Trumpian.

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

What? You read this and thought it was about right now?

Well, it fucking is.

DOJ use of force policy.

He broke the law and murdered a US citizen. Full stop.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

This morning, a masked ICE agent shot and killed an unarmed woman in Minneapolis as she sought to leave. This was an unjustifiable act of violence.

REVOLutionaries Hey Ladies! Its time to clean... The House AND The Senate! THOSE JERKS DON'T WANT TO WORK TOGETHER? LET'S TEACH THEM HOW!

Here’s a link from former First Lady Michelle Obama’s organization that will take you to your state’s voter registration site: whenweallvote.org.
Elect Democrat majorities in the House & Senate in the midterms! Then - impeach, remove, convict the mfr!

I’ve said fuck a lot. Is that bad?

If Drumpf is willing to make the necessary sacrifice to be on money, I’d be on board.

I have a serious question:

Journalists are twisting themselves into pretzels to preserve their precious "access".

Access to what, exactly? Constant insults and blatant LIES (which they dutifully sanewash and report), or his ever increasing moral, ethical, physical, & mental rot (which they don't)?

Malcolm Nance said these sound like the titles of porn movies.

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Mike Johnson, probably: “what election? I’ve been extremely busy not releasing the Epstein files, I haven’t heard about any elections”

Rosa is right. The Trump administration is saying it lacks authority to use the SNAP contingency fund for November benefits.

Not true. They’re illegally withholding the funds to put further pain on Americans during the shutdown.

They have the money, but refuse to use it.
