More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

"The government doesn’t track how many citizens are held by immigration agents. We found more than 170 cases this year where citizens were detained at raids and protests."

Congrats to Ramirez, and to @konfrst.bsky.social and her team on the great win and huge margin!

Iowans deserve leaders who put us over billionaires! But, our representatives voted to put Medicaid, SNAP and more crucial programs on the chopping block to pay for tax breaks for Trump’s billionaire buddies. That’s why this Tax Day, we're holding them accountable.

Dear people who say the NFL is scripted and the refs are paid off by the Chiefs:

Congrats on your pardons!

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I refuse to link to the story but the Des Moines Register should be embarrassed about this story. They found a way to write a feature/heartwarming tale of a violent insurrectionist who attacked a police officer. We need them to tell the truth now more than ever. This isn’t it.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.

"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

The best coach, quarterback, and tight end in NFL history won today while the world’s most successful musician and the best basketball player on the planet cheered them on.

As we approach Inauguration Day, I want to say as a biographer of both of the men who will be President of the United States starting at noon on January 20th that this is going to be as bad as you think and then some

America and SCOTUS decided to test out the idea of a government without guardrails

This is an awful take. Condemning people for how they get from day to day and keep their activism/advocacy going is a recipe for discouraging involvement when we need it most.

Not surprising to discover this is from the @lincolnproject.us chief of staff. Ignore the grifters stirring up nonsense.

Merry Christmas to all who are still awake constructing an overly complicated monstrosity on no sleep too much caffeine and the hopes of this gift bringing core memories of joy instead of being worried about why dad couldn’t stay awake during breakfast

Bill Maher Threatens to ‘Quit’ His Show Over Trump Win The host told Jane Fonda he’s “bored” with talking about the president-elect, but would have no choice.

Fine. I can admit there could be at least one positive outcome of a second Trump administration.

Now, if @lincolnproject.us were to close shop as well, that would be even better news.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.

Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

Congrats @janice4iowa.bsky.social! The party and entire state are lucky to have you in this position!

all she did was exist

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Reposting someone or tagging them to give credit is very different than passing off their post as your own

I saw this exact post from a larger account doing well before this one (a cryptocurrency promotion account) used the same language. Pretty sure this is the kind of thing @juddlegum.bsky.social was warning about with his post?

Just barely made it today🤘

One thing we can all agree on is the importance of public school educators! Thankful for all they do for Iowa communities. #AmericanEducationWeek

Congratulations to the Bills for winning their annual Super Bowl. The Chiefs will play theirs in February.

I would like the record to show that I have shamelessly stolen the motto “Resist. Persist. Repeat.” AND the placement on the Bluesky banner from @sinovic.bsky.social. You may now return to your regular scrolling.
