VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Releasing the Epstein files, while important to garner support for the cause, does not materially impact anything that’s going to happen over the next 3 years.

I dislike the conversation on the left claiming that folks are blackmailing our representatives. It’s a conspiracy theory. When you say “Putin or Mossad is blackmailing…” you are perpetuating a conspiracy theory. Full stop.
No, the GOP just flat out wants this to happen.

Firm Gentle Reminder: Take a deep breath before reacting to rage bait. It's a midterm year. This place is going to swarm with disinfo, rage bait, chaos agents and much more we may not have imagined before. But we've been through this over and over. Do not react immediately. Vet, confirm, deep breath

No doubt that Trump security threat to the world (including Ukraine) and his own citizens in the U.S.

You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

I’m not sure why anyone thinks this is novel or interesting or worth calling out. It’s the repeal of an executive order. This is wholely within the power of the governor’s office. And I’d expect literally any Democrat to do this.
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

It’s so strange how so many people have absolutely no idea how the U.S. government works nor their own responsibility for how their vote applies and is counted. It’s wild to me. But I guess we’re all on this ship together.

Of all the US Citizens who should feel the greater shame right now, it isn't those who voted for Trump. It is those who did not vote at all. They were just as responsible, but believe they can deny it.

Digg has returned, and all I can see so far are right wing dip shits complaining that Reddit is “over moderated”. My assumption being that the big popular subs are aggressive at removing right wing bullshit. And it makes them salty.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Any account blaming dems for what repubs have done and what voters did should be treated with suspicion. It's a midterm year and they've come here to suppress the vote.
