Memo to Kathy Hochul and Gavin Newsom: Why taxing the rich makes enormous sense https://robertreich.substack.com/p/memo-to-kathy-hochul-and-gavin-newsom
Last week, far-right streamer Nick Fuentes openly called for the mass criminalization of women and girls. “Just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists — all of his political rivals — we have to do the same thing with women … They go to the gulag first. They go to the breeding gulags.”

We ended the Republican majority in the Minnesota State House and made history last night.
You know I can contact my representatives, but I live in Seattle and they are all on board already. What is the best way to contact representatives on the other side? I use resist bot, but I don’t know how to use it to contact the side that needs to be convinced.
Great idea! And if they’re too expensive, just get a plain pair and do some DIY decoration on them. If you don’t like it, don’t do it. I love my Birkenstocks.
Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.
It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.
This is incredible. Sound up.
Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.
Jeffries: "We believe there should be a prohibition on ICE deporting or detaining American citizens. We believe that ICE should conduct itself like every other law enforcement agency in the country. We believe ICE shouldn't run around with masks ... "
Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.
NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.
Yesssss. Separate out DHS and shut it down.
Major update: Alarm bells go off as Trump seizes Georgia ballots and voter rolls.
Trump amplifies post calling Pretti a domestic terrorist.
Liam Ramos, five year old detained by ICE, has deteriorating health in detention center.

We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court DISMISSES Department of Justice's lawsuit to obtain Georgia's full voter file information for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Essentially, the geniuses at DOJ filed in the wrong court.
Dhillon and DOJ are now 0-3 in these cases.

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."
Rep. Chris Smith: "The abortion pill -- mifepristone -- is baby poison ... we now know that the abortion bill -- we've long expected this -- is extremely dangerous to women" (this is a lie)

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.
FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.
