This continues to be creepy and un-American. But also where are the criminal gang stings? The felony havers living life on the lam? Instead they are just ICE fishing for people who have regular lives.

The Pain Is the Plan MAGA is actively seeking to immiserate the country in order to cement their power over the rest of us.

"Elon Musk thinks democracy should be replaced with an insufferable council of β€œhigh status males.” An electoral alliance of these techbros with Christian Nationalists has been fraught in its way, but the latter share fundamentally anti-Democratic ideals and a clear preference for hierarchy."

Many people have told me I should change my last name, but instead, Donald should change his.

"Donald Epstein" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Where to vote early in Fort Worth, Arlington, Tarrant County, on election day Tarrant County residents can view their sample ballot and vote centers near their place of residence using the Tarrant County Voter Lookup tool.

Voters in Tarrant County should expect normal procedures when it comes to where to vote. Individual voting locations can change from election to election, but Tarrant County maintains its policy that voters can cast a ballot at any voting center through the entire voting period.

Greetings from Selma, Alabama.

Grateful to be this month's Institute for Common Power Scholar-in-Residence. I'll be working on writing, strategizing, and organizing.

Every day, to wake up to this iconic bridge, I'm reminded of those who paid the ultimate price for freedom.

A luta continua!

Sowing fear of "ICE at the polls!" could do more to suppress votes than any actual ICE at the polls. Here's an explanation of the right's strategy on this, along with my recommendations for what to do instead of playing along.

One of the highlights of my dad’s career was helping write policy positions and talking points on disability and independent living for Jesse Jackson. I got to meet Rev. Jackson in Dolores Park in San Francisco in 1988. I told him my name was Jesse, too.

Wisconsin election denier joins DOJ’s case seeking state’s voter rolls The DOJ’s voting section has been fundamentally reshaped by a series of hires tied to post-2020 election denial.

NEW: A former Trump campaign lawyer who sought to throw out thousands of 2020 Wisconsin ballots joined the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking access to the state’s unredacted voter rolls β€” a revelation that places one of Wisconsin’s most active election deniers in a federal case targeting sensitive voter data.

Epstein Class Clowns One key revelation in the wide correspondence of the late pedophile: The rich and powerful just aren't all that bright.

When Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein discussed how to β€œget rid of poor people” as a whole, the implication was that the poor were responsible for their own poverty and that the exploitative rent-seeking behavior had nothing to do with it.

There's still people who block you if you mention Garland, even as he let this happen. Stop blaming Scotus for him not arresting Coup plotters and funders.

There was a witness ready to testify against Gaetz. It was the teenager he was having underage sex with and she used the money he paid her to buy braces.

Fuck you, Merrick

Why do you think that Trump chose Gaetz, a well known pedophile to be his AG? It's a big pedo family and Republicans are all family members.

This isn’t the first time someone has pretended to be ICE. trib.al/jUneRxn

Police arrested a man in Galveston, Texas, in December for impersonating an agent and trying to arrest two people, telling the civilians who confronted him that he didn’t need to give them his name or badge number.

Happy birthday to my favorite person in the world!!!

He’s known by many names β€” Tim Onion, guy on the tv, Heater’s dad β€” but I know him as one of the most incredible journalists, leaders, antifascist advocates, and (of course) partners out there.

Thanks for hanging out with me and Heater. 🧑
