🚨Arresting US citizens who have not broken any laws is now acceptable practice in the United States of America. The only thing worse than being ICE is pretending that you don’t see what is happening to our neighbors. She isn’t a hero, she’s an American. 🇺🇸

Nothing captures 2025 quite like the fact that more Americans are turning to GoFundMe not for dreams, not for passion projects, not for emergencies but for food and housing. The platform’s own report reads less like a data release and more like a national cry for help we’ve decided to ignore.
More people crowdfunded for basic needs like food and housing in 2025, GoFundMe reports
GoFundMe CEO Tim Cadogan says people around the world are struggling with the rising cost of living, but he adds that "people do step up and support folks in those situations."

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

Again, Bush created the tools for fascism with the war on terror, including Gitmo, torture, black sites, ICE, &c, and both parties left them in place, so it’s no surprise we’re here.

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

Strib put its Emmer takedown behind its new, higher paywall, meaning even subscribers can’t share, so I’ll paste the grossest part, which includes the loathsome Vin Weber, who hasn’t received enough criticism over the years.

![From the Strib: Emmer initially said he did not "want to paint with a broad brush" after Trump pledged to revoke Temporary Protected
Status from hundreds of members of the Somali community. "There are great Somali residents in Minnesota. I've got Somalis for Trump in St Cloud, Minnesota," he said during a recent Kare 11 interview. "The fact remains, though, that a lot of these fraud schemes have come out of that community, and that's what
[Trump's] talking about." Emmer ignored a Minnesota Star Tribune reporter on Capitol Hill when asked Thursday to clarify whether he agreed with
what Trump said and if he condemned the president's remarks. His's office also did not respond to several emailed questions, instead calling the Star Tribune "a communist rag that failed to investigate the massive fraud that has cost Minnesota taxpayers
billions." Former GOP Rep. Vin Weber, a supporter of Emmer who considers him a good friend, does not think Emmer has changed
to appease Trump or on the topic of Somali Minnesotans. "I don't think one of the leading Republicans in the country is going to disagree with the president, I don't fault him for that,"
Weber said of Emmer's position on Trump's targeting of Somalis.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yhglxsi2owchryafic2gmr3/bafkreidqcx6ifpgnde25ngxifvw7c2626rarey2wsbuopqzipb4ssdyfzu@jpeg)
