The American people badly need their Congress to show courage, and to fight for them.

Let us hope that this small step in that direction will be a turning point, and a harbinger of more action to come. 4/4

Voter fraud is yet another "issue" that isn't an issue at all. Through countless studies, systematic voter fraud has never been found to exist. Voter suppression is real, though, and there are libraries full of data.

So much of politics in this country is people in the lap of luxury lecturing people who are hungry, uncertain, & anxious to "bootstrap" themselves, with no acknowledgement that, in the circumstances of modern poverty, that's *harder to do than anything any of these rich fucks have ever done*.

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

“Staffer declared military invasion in error.”

“Staffer fired cabinet member in error.”

This is the government they created — and it highlights why the government they created is so exceptionally dangerous to national security. The systems and bureaucracy, it turns out, exist for a reason.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Actions speak louder than words.

Tom Homan says he wants to do things differently, but we have yet to see meaningful change.

The only way to ensure the safety of the people of Minnesota is for the federal government to draw down their forces and end this campaign of brutality.

The best response to someone who thinks they can say "I don't want to get into politics" when you talk about ICE.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Oh my god. I was literally watching the episode of Schitt's Creek this morning where there was a news report that she was dead but she wasn't. 😥

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.

Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.

Imagine supporting Donald Trump ever. That's so embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you!

Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."

4) And they STILL haven’t released the Epstein files.

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

Trump’s illegal domestic deployments cost taxpayers $496 million—and counting.

Including $21 million in Illinois.

There’s no money for health care.

But half a billion to waste on intimidating Americans in their own communities.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

This is a moment of profound fragility for the Trump admin; call your reps and tell them to press the advantage. Call for Noem to resign or be impeached. Call for Miller's ouster.

A battle over consent erupts between Jeffrey Epstein and fifteen-year-old child.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

This is the way.

Why do we have to go through all this so one man can stay out of prison?
