Iโ€™m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Absolutely must read story of detention for profit

Terminated fed? Plan to run for local and state offices and especially for US Congress

Filing_requirements_for_congressional_candidates
During the 2002-2012 period, while a housewife, 1 conducted consumer advocacy and civil rights work that captured media attention. On several occasions I was asked to consider running for statewide office.
A divorce in 2013 stymied that possibility and, instead, I returned to the workforce and ultimately became a federal employee. Since 2017, I've often said that if I won the lottery I would immediately resign from my fed position and announce my candidacy for US HofR.
The lottery hasn't happened, but Nov 2024 did. And now the diabolical purges. If you've already been terminated (for which I feel tremendous empathy for you and believe you can articulate your plan for a better tomorrow and hopeful future, please consider running for office. Unseating current Republicans in local, state and federal offices is imperative not only for your family's, community's, and state's sakes but also for the future of democracy in America. 1984 is here and you're currently free to run for office. This could be your new public service, and I know you would follow your oath to the Constitution unlike the supine Republicans in Congress.
Forward we must go. Stay strong. You matter.

I'm a woman who was denied having a baby safely by republicans. Whose career as a subject matter expert attorney dedicated to serving the American people was destroyed by republicans.
Whose first time home buying dream was taken away overnight by republicans.
Let's. Fuckin'. Go.
Edit: Thanks for the Reddit cares, you misanthropic fucks. Sorry your wives stopped sleeping with you.

four states โ€”Indiana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Carolinaโ€”have bills on the table changing their criminal codes on homicides. None have advanced out of committee, but all have multiple co-sponsors, indicating more support than other bills.
