ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Hereโ€™s your reminder that one of DHSโ€™s main jobs is disaster response, not cutting promos about terrorizing immigrants. Thousands have been displaced. Whereโ€™s Trump? Whereโ€™s Kristi Noem? Whereโ€™s FEMA?

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures.

...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noemโ€™s government-funded video blaming โ€œDemocratsโ€ for the government shutdown.

โ€œWe believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,โ€ one airport said.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

A quote from John Lennon that says โ€œ when it gets down to having to use then you are playing the systemโ€™s game The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. because once theyโ€™ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you the only thing they donโ€™t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.

๐ŸšจThe absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Everything we are suffering from is volitional.

Our entire population could be housed, fed, & have health care.

We could be meaningfully combating the climate crisis.

Instead we are zip-tying children, immolating our vaccine system, & doing everything to protect a child rapist.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed heโ€™d get away with it
No one believed heโ€™d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted heโ€™d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people โ€” not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
