I’ve just been sent this and it’s genuinely made my jaw drop

Massive kudos to the journalist for maintaining his cool

I really hope editors are there for him right now

This sort of stuff would have my Windrush generation anti-racism campaigning grandad turn in his grave

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families β€” and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Catharyne, a healthcare worker, made it plain:

Republicans created a healthcare crisis that will cause hospitals to close, healthcare costs to jump, & lives to be put at risk.

But instead of working with Democrats to address that harm, Republicans have shut down the government.

Project 2025: Taking on the Constitution Another Saturday night in America.

β€œIn Chicago, agents appear to attack a man who is not threatening them, leg-sweeping him to the ground, something agents are trained not to do because it has the potential to be debilitating. The violence is condoned, in fact directed, by the Department of Homeland Security.”

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enoughβ€” and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

β€œFuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

It's time to set Jeanette Vizguerra free | Colorado Newsline There is strong evidence that authorities targeted Jeanette Vizguerra because of her criticism of the government. It's time to set her free.

Commentary: ICE has kept Colorado immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra locked up for more than six months. Her detention is a violation of her constitutional rights, and the court should set her free.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.
