Jeffries: "Republicans have clearly come to the conclusion they cannot win fair elections, so they've adopted voter suppression as a strategy. Which is one of the reasons we're making sure there's a clear separation between DHS & ability for state officials to ensure there are free & fair elections"

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

A 19 yr old girl was kidnapped at a Massachusetts airport and deported to Honduras, illegally.

A judge already said she was not to be deported.

She was headed to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She did not make it.

This story needs to be heard by everyone!

Trump wants Republicans to kill the filibuster. Great! In the long run, it would be good for Democrats and democracy.

"In fact, Republicans like the filibuster even when they themselves are in control. That’s because it enables them to avoid passing legislation that the party officially favors but that smart Republicans know would be disastrous for them politically." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

I believe there must be some sort of Kompromat on Klein ever since he led the crusade to backstab the most effective president since FDR it is clear that he is in on the Maga grift.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

On the day that Trump's deadline to Ru passed and Ru is still waging a war on Ukraine and not showing the slightest intention of stopping, Trump is angrier at UCLA than at Putin. Where are the crushing sanctions? Where is the pressure?

Why are we letting Mike Lee control the narrative. Clearly the honorable war criminal from Utah and this shooter are in cahoots. One way or the other.
If the majority in the Minnesota state house "coinciddntally" flips red after this "coincidentally" happened. Cheaper then California.

The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

The very well prepared WSJ tracks the whole chronology of the ICE tactics in Los Angeles and makes clear that incitement and provocation were the clear purposes that ICE pursued in everything it did. Was this done in good-faith fulfillment of a lawful policy? Nope. Look at the Home Depot targeting.
