There will be no taking back the House without free and fair elections and the Repubs are hard at work for voter suppression and control of ballots.

I think she has a reasonable belief that voter suppression and other hijinks will prevent Democrats from re-taking the House.

I really miss the days when Super Bowl ads were clever & for consumer products that I might actually use.

Further back than that. Weโ€™re in this situation today because of the success of the backlash against Reconstruction.

The DNC had to take out a loan because lifelong Dems like me are fed up with them, and have stopped giving. They can make up the difference with $$ from their corporate masters. I support get out the vote and community-based orgs that do the hard work of organizing year-round, year after year.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 โ€” six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

But itโ€™s fine to ban books & abortions? The hypocrisy & lies never stop.

Iโ€™m a subscriber and take classes at S.F. Ballet but they must do the right thing! Iโ€™ll miss seeing them perform next season unless they cancel the Kennedy Center performances.

Especially by someone who never served in the military. But itโ€™s perfect cosplaying.

Youโ€™re my Senator.I need more from you than bland statements and platitudes. NO funding for ICE and no caving during a shutdown.And use any power you have to help Schumer to grow a spine and keep a budget that includes ANY funding for ICE from passing.

Your duty is to uphold the Constitution not follow illegal orders.

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

Good point. I canโ€™t afford to subscribe to all the writers I follow on Substack & other services. I subscribe to a few and donate โ€œcups of coffeeโ€ to others in addition to subs to a few traditional sites like the Guardian

Who are the real domestic terrorists? Iโ€™m old enough to remember the full on demonization and repression of the Black Panthers. I donโ€™t see the Proud Boys serving breakfast to children.

Yes, but in unity is strength, and if enough of them refuse this illegal order โ€ฆ

Iโ€™m in my 70โ€™s and would like to see Stephen Miller, ICE Barbie, and the rest of the fascist criminals in jail with unpardonable life sentences before I die.
