WASHINGTON: Despite republicans’ best efforts, including a 24 hour filibuster-style debate — “the state house approved a levy on incomes over $1 million… pays for free breakfast & lunch for k-12 students…”

How much do you think we need to worry about retaliation inside the US because of this mess?

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's move to take over state elections Contact Congress today!

🚨 Trump's cronies are circulating a draft executive order to declare a phony "national emergency" over made-up foreign election interference—just so he can seize control of our state-run elections.

This isn't about integrity—it's a blatant attempt to rig the midterms.

Tell Congress to act NOW:

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

This is what the Trump bureau of prisons is doing to trans people, putting them at immediate risk of medical emergency to forcefully detransition them.

Unimaginable levels of cruelty.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Border Patrol dropped a blind refugee 5 miles from his home at night.

No English, no call to his family / lawyer.

Nurul Alam, 56, was found dead 5 days later on a Buffalo street.

He had an immigration detainer - not a criminal warrant or order of removal.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

The military action that Trump is ramping up towards in Iran is a build up unlike anything we’ve seen since the 2003 Iraq war.
 
The American people don’t want another war.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

‘No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

“Billionaires really like thinkers who see their exploitation of the weak as a good and natural thing”

Not to be Debbie Downer on Valentine’s Day, but this is a sobering and worthwhile read.

It delves into the mindset of the monsters we are dealing with.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
