roses are red
some humans are trans
and that won’t change
with your bigoted bans

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

If the U.S. government can pay ICE agents $50,000 signing bonuses and offer each one up to &60,000 on student loan forgiveness, then they had the money all along to offer healthcare and reduce grocery costs for every American…and simply chose not to.

It’s not immigrants making your lives harder.

Just 5 is difficult, as I'll read anything. Some that have stayed with me are
1. The Double by Fyodor Dostoevsky
2. The Portrait of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
3. The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
4. The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting."

My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I built a law firm to stop it. I started Democracy Docket as another tool in the fight for democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

NEW: Republicans in Congress have unveiled a new bill that would impose the most extreme voting restrictions ever proposed at the federal level. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Many things are bad,yes. Unfortunately, my taste buds think orange Gatorade is gross,though not as bad as *everything*. Grape Gatorade is where I was for a long time, but since we're talking boring hot takes, my (lukewarm) opinion is that Vitamin Water better than Gatorade. Sorry if this offends.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

“You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.”

Indeed.

I've thought for a while now that the U.S. government is trying to cull its populace. Headlines/News like this are part of why. I understand that sounds nutty,but it's becoming difficult to think otherwise.

He thinks this counts as having written him a letter, doesn't he? Can the world (including U.S.) just stop treating social media as official correspondence? I'm sure that makes me sound like a dinosaur, but seriously? Each thing more ridiculous than the last is exhausting.

“Asserting sweeping power” is a weird way to describe intentionally committing crimes and human rights violations while also trying to cover up the evidence of it

Gross.

Today, Donald Trump--the president of the United States and a man with a history of election subversion--said: "We shouldn’t even have an election" in 2026.

While legacy media has largely ignored this story, Democracy Docket has covered it from multiple angles. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Jesus.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Trump thugs are killing, brutalizing, and torturing American citizens. That is not an “immigration crackdown.” It’s domestic repression and occupation.

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

America has a real fascism problem,this person is it's VP.

Make it viral.

What a score!

Yes to all,though I'd not previously thought of those things all together.

Oh! I just watched this earlier this year (also always late to things and stuff),and really enjoyed it. Happy watching!

Okay, but I Must know how these other 49 interpreted it.
