Abolish ICE. Arrest, prosecute, and imprison these Un-American fucks from the streets to the Oval and all the enablers in between. And Dems, if that isn't your position, you will not get a cent or a vote from me.

How many moms need to get shot in the face before members of congress support a sec Noam impeachment?

Ghislaine Maxwell said that Epstein filmed trump with his victims. We must fight for the release of all related documents against him and his cronies. Do not let up. Where crimes are committed prosecution must happen!

The WaPo reporter whose house was raided and phone was seized by DOJ had developed well over a thousand confidential sources inside a variety of government agencies.

A small, petty, insecure drunk who wears far too much makeup trying to run DOD from a Twitter account with a junior officer’s mentality in way over his head who is mocked by better men and women in his department for the fool that he is.

Who are the “two US officials” and why would CBS give them anonymity when they are just putting something out there that DHS and ICE obviously wants put out. Who are these “US officials” and why are they granted anonymity???

Velazquez: The American people are upset. They did not sign on for this. The most fundamental principle for the American people is fairness and humane policies, not beating the shit out of people, especially vulnerable women and children.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

I despise Charlie Kirk and every hateful thing he stands for, but today’s shooting was truly horrific. Violence is NEVER the answer.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

'Reagan-appointed judge'? When Reagan was elected I was 2 years old. This year my daughter started college. We need to put term limits on these people, regardless of if I agree with their opinions.

Universities in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union thought giving in to government demands would save their independence Before the Nazis, German universities were among the best in the world. Step by step, the universities gave up their independence until they were instruments of the state.

Obvious, but a reminder that history repeats itself.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it.

He is not exempt from the law.

Where the fuck is Congress?

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

I do actually think that all human beings should be given the maximum opportunity to flourish, with the goal of making happy and healthy lives available for everyone.

this is controversial to those in power, it seems!

WASHINGTON (AP) — AP wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing 1st Amendment.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Just talked to a disheartened local Democrat going out to gather petition signatures for candidates. Schumer backlash in New York is palpable among the rank and file: "How do I go out and knock on doors and say hey, sign for these Democrats after this?" 😕

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

Brutal.

Guess who Hitler & his Nazis called "parasites", and guess what happened to these people.
