I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Is there anyone who doesn’t realize that he’s using the country as a piggy bank? Literally stealing money from us, stealing our tax dollars, to just give himself more money. What the actual fuck.

They know they can’t win. They’re not even pretending to try. We have to stand up for our rights NOW. Because they’re already starting to disappear

One good thing today: finally made it out of my driveway today. Got to PT which was so helpful. I can’t wait for the ice and ICE to be just gone.

Senate fails to advance spending bills as Democrats push for DHS reforms Senators blocked a package of six spending bills that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security as Democrats continue to push for reforms to immigration enforcement.

Today is the day to call your senators and demand they vote no to fund ICE & DHS. @5calls.org makes it super easy.

Evidence across many sectors showing how the uber-rich are benefitting from Trump’s economy while everyone else gets screwed.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

MS NOW: Should there be accountability for Stephen Miller?

WALZ: There better be

My black cat snuggled up under a blanket with just his head and a paw peeking out

One good thing today: my friend/professional organizer came by today and we got so much done! Lots of good stuff to donate. Found some stuff I thought was lost. And laughed at some goofy old photos. #onegoodthing
Bonus photo of my cat staying warm & cozy

what’s going on in MN is front & center right now. But there is so much more going on. it’s overwhelming to be hit by all of it at once. This whole admin must to held accountable for everything they’re doing to destroy our way of life from terrorizing us to taking away healthcare to pedo protection

One good thing today: my friend braved the ice and snow dunes to come visit. We talked about books and our dogs and all the everything. It was really nice to see her IRL. #onegoodthing

Right the hell now.

No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

Breaking MS NOW:

Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

One good thing today: my excellent neighbors dug me out after the plow snowed is back in. Community is so important. Now especially. And mine is full of kind caring people. #onegoodthing

Robins congregating at my koi pond to drink water when everything else is frozen over

One good thing today: my super awesome neighbors cleared paths in the snow for me and my dog. Plus the thing with the robins flocking to my pond was pretty cool. I’ve never seen so many at once before. #onegoodthing

As soon as I put the ice melter on the pond the robins came en masse. Many more in the surrounding trees.

One good thing today: I’m overwhelmed by the horror of today. And so proud of everyone standing up, peacefully fighting back, & protecting others.
So here are some baby pix of my sweet snuggly pets to remind you that good things exist. #onegoodthing

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Van Hollen: "The Trump admin has essentially said to folks at ICE, 'Anything goes. You have a license to kill. And by the way, we won't investigate you. We'll take care of this for you.' When they're calling these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' what they're saying to ICE is we got your back."

It’s too much. And it’s not stopping.

The 2A tough guys will be the first to voluntarily hand over their guns when the regime demands it.

Mark it.

Not soon enough

They’re trampling on basic human decency

Tricolor King Charles cavalier spaniel with one ear on backward looking super cute

One good thing today: I’m as prepared as I can be for the big storm. And still hoping it’s not nearly as bad as expected.
Plus my dog is still into the backward ear look and he’s very cute. #onegoodthing
