(below a photo of masked ICE agents) β€œICE goes masked for a single reason-to terrorize Americans into quiescence.

Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws... Can you imagine a masked Marine? It is a matter of honor-and honor still matters.

To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan.”

I’m so glad that Keith Ellison is my AG. It was a tough 1st election to get him over the finish line and the 2nd term election was easier. I’m glad he is running again.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

When The Law Won't Show Its Face There can be no true public safety for any of us without public trust.

ICE's actions undermine trust in law enforcement and threaten public safety.

I am renewing my call for Congress to pass the No Secret Police Act to reign in this lawless agency and protect the people of Minnesota. I ask you to join me.

Warren: "With Jeffrey Epstein, I really mean follow the money. Here's the deal - JPMorgan Chase - yes, Jamie Dimon, I'm looking at you -- is Epstein's bank, a close personal relationship that spans years. Shouldn't this be in the JPMorgan's ads?...I'd like to have Dimon come in & under oath testify"

Man, if we can come out of this scandal with both Larry Summers and Jaime Dimon getting ostracized from polite society, that would be amazing.

This is a *great* piece, which I have been touting for weeks, by wonderful (lawyer/writer) Lincoln Caplan, on why John Roberts deserves at least as much focus as Trump himself (or Alito, Thomas, Miller, JDV, etc) for war on US institutions.

He has replaced Roger Taney in Scotus Hall of Shame.

Top Dem Reveals How JPMorgan Chase Helped Epstein Hide His Crimes Senator Ron Wyden accused the bank of obstructing law enforcement from examining the financial infrastructure of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.

β€œGiven the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it’s clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated." trib.al/fDV5onk

Trump's approval ratings are tanking.

He's flailing on the economy.

He backtracked on the Epstein files and lost control of the GOP.

His plot to steal the 2026 midterms is faltering.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

I just called every one of their offices to thank them.

We gotta have their backs when they fight like we’ve been asking them to.

JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

So he wants the military to break laws and the constitution. If you are in the military please remember you have a right to not follow unlawful orders.

With every single insane post Trump makes, he becomes less powerful. Less believable. Less authoritarian.

He’s a weak man.

β€œTHIS IS A SEWER… A SCAM… Congress has been enriching itself for too dadgum long.”

We are highly critical of @RepTimBurchett but he & @repjayapal are right β€” Congress should be BANNED from trading stocks, as @unusualwhales calls out.

Make your reps & senators back this.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.
