Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE - Bolts Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining a string of ten states with similar prohibitions.

NEW: Major, BFD action by blue states standing up to ICE.

Maryland, on Tuesday, banned local law enforcement from being part of ICE's notorious 287(g) program. 

That automatically forces *9* sheriffs out of their ICE contract!

And New Mexico did the same last week:

Orwell Would Cringe Trump’s assault on the First Amendment continues

Jen Rubin: MAGA bad faith attacks on “wokeness” and left-wing “censorship” were always a smokescreen for eradicating history of non-whites, normalizing racism, silencing critics, and foisting Christian nationalism on the rest of us.

Tricia McLaughlin’s Top Five Lies The outgoing Homeland Security flack’s pattern of mendacity.

Tricia McLaughlin earned a reputation for extraordinary, shameless lying.

To mark the occasion of her departure, here are five of the most heinous lies McLaughlin told during her tenure at DHS.

They arrested him on his birthday — it’s really incredible when you think about it.

Do not grant these two the generous presumption that they know better than to believe this is possible. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

how can you say this out loud and not see the problem with it immediately

Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon’s Conspirators in the Plot to Take Down Pope Francis From controversial Vatican power brokers to a defrocked priest and a crypto-funded provocateur, the figures who engineered a campaign against the Francis pontificate.

Christopher Hale: When Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon moved to take down Pope Francis, they assembled a network: an arch-conservative cardinal, an excommunicated archbishop, a priest defrocked after fathering a child, and a Latvian crypto-bro.

‘He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Massie's right. And the answer will wind up being something simple: he's a crony of Trump's and he made the right campaign contributions.

Two Halftime shows because racists can't tolerate anything that isn't White dominant.

This is America.

This is why there was a Civil War.

Nothing new.

We need to stop coddling these racists.

Let them lose and eat bland food and listen to crappy music.

The majority salsas forward.

Trump ran for president the first time on a racist lie.

Trump shares, then deletes video depicting Obamas as apes Tim Scott, the sole Black Republican in the Senate, called it “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”

This is a sign of weakness.

GOP never walks away from its racism.

It doubles down.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

‘Antifa safehouse’ leader at Portland ICE protests singled out in federal records, report says Chandler Patey, 29, has been a regular presence at the South Waterfront ICE facility.

Trump administration announces discovery of the head of Antifa. He's a 29-yr-old Portlander with an apartment near the courthouse who has allowed people who were pepper sprayed to come use his bathroom to wash off. He can also read and write, so he must be a mastermind of Antifa agitations.

Two years ago I decided to fight the “fraudulent election” conspiracies by signing up as a poll worker. We need as many people as possible to sign up to do this critical role in our elections. This will give you first hand experience to rebut the naysayers. SIGN UP!

yet another theft of our tax dollars and resources.

Warning Signs of Election Interference The Fulton County raid and other recent developments show how Trump and his allies are moving to discredit losses and control future elections.

The future of our democracy hasn’t been decided yet. It’s being determined right now, in state capitals, county offices, and courtrooms.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
