A heist in broad daylight

“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”

Transferring or stealing from?

Remember back in the day when Congress used to be in charge of appropriations?

Women's Rights are Democratic Rights: The Global Authoritarian Backlash to Gender Equality, by Hillary Rodham Clinton

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women.

As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us:

Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent.

All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers.

It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.

… Former Trump supporter Ian Smith posted his list of grievances on social media to explain why he no longer supports Trump: Promised: DOGE refund checks. Got: Memes. Engagement bait. Zero deposits. Promised: Full transparency — Epstein files, JFK files, the “truth.” Got: Redactions. Delays. “Ongoing review.” Same sealed vault. Promised: Drain the swamp. Got: The swamp with better branding. Promised: Sub-10% APR credit cards. Got: 29.99% variable and a lecture about “market conditions.” Promised: No new wars. Got: “Strategic support,” “defensive aid,” and another foreign funding package. Promised: America First. Got: Billions exported while your grocery bill stays domestic. Promised: Abolish the three-letter agencies. Got: Expanded budgets and better software. Promised: End the Department of Education. Got: More bureaucracy, different logo. Promised: Tariffs that would pay you back. Got: Higher import costs that somehow still land on you. Promised: Secure border, overnight. Got: Press conferences and “working on it.” Promised: Gas under $2. Got: “Global markets are complex.” Promised: Prescriptions massively cheaper. Got: Same copay, new announcement. Promised: Groceries coming down fast. Got: Inflation “cooling” while your cart still hits triple digits. Promised: Break up Big Tech. Got: Government partnerships with Big Tech. Promised: Fight corporate capture. Got: Corporate lobbyists at the table. Promised: Freedom from surveillance. Got: AI integration and expanded monitoring infrastructure. Promised: Fiscal responsibility. Got: Another multi-trillion dollar spending cycle.

House Bill HF 2809 - Residential protesting could become a crime in Minnesota

This is the 1st Amendment right.

Minnesota State Capitol - (651) 296-2881

Give these goddamn GOP fascists a piece of your mind, #Minnesota. Scream in their fucking face until they piss their pants.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

This woman has no business being the “people’s attorney.” The next Dem Congress must define the AG role!

In contrast to the US where the coverup in plain view rules the land!

Federal authorities announce an end to the immigration crackdown in Minnesota Federal officials say the immigration crackdown in Minnesota is coming to an end, after mass detentions, protests and two deaths.

They floated the test balloon & pushed it as far as they they could. Now, the republicans are beyond unpopular. T Y to every single person out there being outspoken & pushing back against ICE. It takes unity and our collective humanity to say ENOUGH.
End the detention centers NOW!

Completely wrong headline from CNN. The report from a 2006 police interview with Trump ANSWERS questions. Specifically, it proves that (no surprise) Trump is lying when he says he had no idea what Epstein was up to.

CNN should not perpetuate the lies.

I have to turn it off. It’s a circus full of lies and propaganda. The only way to solve it is to vote.

@osuwexmed.bsky.social

@osuwexmed.bsky.social When are you removing Wexner’s now tarnished name from existence? Read the Epstein files!

The MO judicial magistrates who approved this should be held accountable! How do states govern their own elections only to find themselves in a position that allows an ass clown in another state to sign off on an invasion of their secured ballots? This was a test for midterms. It won’t be pretty.

Rep. Walkinshaw leaving today’s ICE hearing: “All of this comes from Stephen Miller’s sick, twisted, deranged Great Replacement Theory.” He says when Dems have the majority they will subpoena Miller to testify: “If he doesn’t he will end up in prison for contempt.” @pabloreports.bsky.social

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

It’s A 'Modern-Day Concentration Camp': Irish Man Held By ICE Details 'Nightmare' Facility Seamus Culleton, who is married to an American woman, says he’s “in fear for my life” in a Texas detention center.
