Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

This Fall, the U.S.House will be decided by a handful of votes and Florida has real opportunities to flip key districts. These 25 #PostcardsToVoters will remind Florida Democrats to enroll in Vote By Mail.

Our goal is to write 2 million #PostcardsToVoters by October to encourage Florida Democrats to vote by mail. We’ll work on that goal while still writing for selected candidates’ campaigns. To write with us or to donate to our work, check out our website: PostcardsToVoters.org

We must keep repeating that DHS-ICE may be a law(less) enforcement agency but it's not "police" as we understand police. They don't follow police procedures. Are uninterested in following Federal, state, and local law. Are working against local officials not with them. Have no accountability.

This statement from an eyewitness to the Minnesota murder of Mr. Pretti is gut wrenching, from beginning to end. Please disseminate it as you see fit.

This is a really great read: a dose of reality that can help reorient the thinking of both the authoritarianism-can't-happen-here pollyannas AND the "we're screwed" doomscrollers. Thanks, Thomas!

LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I just said to the guy, β€œI didn’t think of wearing a respirator. That’s a good idea.” He replied, β€œExcept that people can’t understand what I’m saying.”

In those early COVID days, I went to the grocery store with a red bandanna tied around my face, looking like I was about to hold up the stagecoach. Felt silly. Then I ran into a guy wearing a respirator.

It’s heartbreaking to see the world achingly slowly moving towards greater justice your whole life until middle age, only to see the blatant evil you were warned about from history show up on your streets as your kids grow up. This is not the future we were fighting to build for them. πŸ’”

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, β€œthen he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

Paraphrasing: "It is the prerogative of people like me to do as we please and be forever revered. And if you are insufficiently obedient, dare to deviate from the lesser status I have assigned you, or make me uncomfortable , I have the right to punish you."

The perfect distillation of Trumpism.

Folks, I need a favor. My Twitter account appears to have disappeared. And I'm not sure why. If any of you can be bothered to say something about that on Twitter, I'd appreciate it.

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?

I dashed off these five #PostcardsToVoters this morning in support of #VoteJudyInJanuary Taylor and drove them to the Post Office so they’ll be sure to reach their destinations by Election Day next Tuesday.

I just called the regional offices of Senators Cornyn and Cruz and got answering machines. Often those regional offices have staffers answering the phones. Are we already overloading the staffs of those offices?

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Cynic that I am, I know it feels wonderful to give supplies, but I’ve long believed that giving cash to charities enables them to have much more flexibility in meeting needs.
