Wow.

ICE is still out and about, they’re driving around, even getting new cars. Head on a swivel.

Laughing at this because it literally says at the bottom that it’s not from the Black Panthers, it’s from the New American movement, one of the ancestors of the DSA. It’s not wrong, but I think some people think the Black Panthers are just anything they agree with.

What You Need to Know About the SAVE Act

The SAVE Act is bad. While lots of people are talking about the ID portion, It creates a criminal cause of action to put election workers in prison for (even accidentally) registering someone to vote without ID.

After last year’s gesture-gate, the masks are off. There's no more pretense. Musk is now saying the quiet part out loud: their movement is a white nationalist movement. In his myopic worldview, there’s no place for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish, or anyone who doesn’t conform.

This is a huge glaring issue right now. Courts generally ARE doing fairly well, even including significant number of Trump appointees. The corruption is concentrated in scotus.

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ... TikTok video by HBCU Student Action Alliance

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

ICE raid at apartment complex causes elementary students to run from their bus stop in NJ Thursday Students were seen running away from their bus stop on Thursday morning as ICE agents conducted an operation at an apartment in Lindenwold, NJ.

Most people probably focus on the damage ICE has caused in Minnesota

But their violent, fascist tactics affect people all over the country

Here they are-terrorizing 4th and 5th graders at a bus stop in New Jersey

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century.

People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

The SAVE Act and the Myth of a Voter Fraud Crisis Congress proposes sweeping documentation barriers to combat a form of fraud Americans are more likely to experience as a lightning strike than at a polling place.

“A political movement that insists on solving a problem the data cannot substantiate is not engaged in neutral reform. It is redefining the electorate through procedural filtration…[&] structural barriers…the issue is not fraud prevention but power allocation.”

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

"[DHS] is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency."

Screenshot of a tweet from a Democratic congresswoman stating that Epstein-related files remain redacted for Members of Congress and alleging that Pam Bondi has been tracking which members reviewed the files. Below is a split-screen news image showing Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaking on ABC News Live Prime alongside a photo of Jeffrey Epstein, with a caption about viewing unredacted Epstein files.

It's clearly a cover up, and they think we’re all stupid and won't notice.

Another reason to oppose Trump’s attempt to take over elections through the SAVE Act.

There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there.

If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance.

If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.🖤

America knows Alex and Renee’s names but can’t be bothered to know the names of non-white people murdered by ICE. Where are the songs with their names? The free quilt patterns with THEIR faces? Ah yes, outrage when ICE finally comes for your community.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
