For those who insist Portland OR has been on fire and is a war zone, I assure you it is none of those things sans a couple of blocks where 🧊 is. The city is extremely quiet for the majority.

I’m with @michaelfanone.bsky.social

I haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law.

1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos
2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota
3. ICE claiming the power to enter our homes

I don't understand why this would happen. Can someone please explain the benefits? Was there a unicorn attached to this bill?

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

MINNEAPOLIS — Hmong homeowners know their rights… randomly looking for Hmong & Asian families… a racial terror campaign, nothing less…

Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property

Shelf filled with goggles and whistles

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.”

ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?”

UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?”

ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE*

Bill Seeks Insider Trading Crackdown After Bettor Made $400,000 On Maduro Capture The Polymarket bettor, the identity of whom is unknown, bet $30,000 on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro less than a day before he was abducted by U.S. forces.

Well, he's right about one thing...

Good for this student, this is a big problem that is only growing. They just opened a new chapter at the college here (NV) too:

NASHVILLE - TN HS Dems Tennessee High School Dems deliver a petition to Senator @MarshaBlackburn to stop the just-announced government partnership forcing TP USA chapters into every school in Tennessee. (“to stop far right extremism”)

I agree that, unfortunately, most people aren't informed and choose not to be in order to vote for justices. Term limits are imperative for all federal judge appointments. And, of course, financial limits on campaign funds keeping big money out of politics. I hope we have that choice one day

Wouldn't it be great if the people could vote for the Supreme Court judges instead of the administration at the time of a vacancy? That would really be something

Class act. Period.

These innocent beings will need us more than ever now.

Please look into what you can do to help out in your state to assist families keep their furry family members. Find a pet food program to donate to, volunteer at the humane society or local shelter. There's going to be a surge in the coming weeks. 2/

SNAP benefits are on a yo-yo for so many and the stress of feeding families is devastating. What many forget are the devastating effects to our four legged family members. People have already started surrendering their pets in my state because of the shut down and not having paychecks. 1/

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
