The SAVE Act is a literal poll tax for married women who changed their last name.

“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…”

“Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”

There are 2 kinds of people:
/ Those who hear foreign languages in the street and are pleased that their town is cool enough to attract people from far away who will share their cultures and learn yours.
/ Those who hear foreign languages, instantly get clammy skin, and think they’re being invaded.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

“Together, we are America”

Keep resisting, keep standing up, and keep speaking out, Illinois.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls In the past few weeks, passing the legislation has been a unifying rally cry for Republicans, a welcome distraction from the party’s cratering public opinion polls.

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Yes, it should.

No one should be opposed to this.

ice sculpture reading prosecute ice at the minnesota state capitol on february 5 2026

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

So Bovino was reporting to "the Political Theater Guy". Explains a LOT

"The Political Theater Guy". Ugh

NEW: Senator Ed Markey just introduced a critical bill that would ban ICE and CBP from buying or using facial recognition technology to go after our communities.

Congress must pass the ICE Out of My Face Act and use their funding power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.

Guys they are really, really not winning

It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially

God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible

But they are very much not winning

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections Trump doubled down on his comments to nationalize voting Tuesday during an Oval Office press conference. “If you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” Trump sai...

I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Didn't he have the idea a few months ago that retired people should be providing free child care for their kids? Hard to do if we are still working

The US is the wealthiest country in the world.
Does it ever occur to anyone to ask:
Why does the national debt continue to increase? If most people are STRUGGLING financially already, where is the $$ supposed to come from?
We can't afford to keep supporting the wealthy.

WSJ: “.. Welcome to a world where America First is coming to mean America Alone, whose friends are searching for alternatives to what increasingly feels like an abusive relationship and whose enemies are gloating.”

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.”

If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔

Our kids are watching. 🇺🇸

Trump gave a foreign power access to America's highly advanced and protected AI chips in exchange his personal enrichment of half a billion dollars.

This makes Watergate look as if Nixon had driven three miles over the speed limit once.

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

Funny, but the $50,000 bribe is far from the first reason I oppose him. (I first noticed him on 60 Minutes just before the election and was appalled at the thought of him in a leadership position)

“We’d be in a far worse place without the mass protests in Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, and across the country. Protest doesn’t bring instant change, but it disrupts authoritarian power and reminds everyone this isn’t normal. We have to keep showing up. We have to keep protesting.”
