If you’re looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl.
I’m on Book 3 and it’s been a blast from start to finish.

One big lesson in writing this article: In states where filing deadlines have already passed, many offices are uncontested.
In NC, 28 of 39 prosecutor races only have one candidate.
In AR, it's 20 of 28.
But: Deadlines are still in the future in most places. Hence it's Important to look now.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

TODAY, we must vote against any additional funding. But that is not enough.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Prosecute the former regime at every level.
ICE's murder of a young mom should be the final nail in this wicked gestapo's coffin. Disband ICE, investigate all agents.
Also: impeach & prosecute Trump—both for the cavalcade of illegal presidential actions, as well as the fact that he's a pedophile.

It's disgusting that the Dem opposition is mostly just whining about not being properly informed about these immoral and illegal attacks. Instead of calling for impeachment, they just want to be briefed since apparently they are more mad about being "lied to" than the actual atrocity happening.
Just an absolutely pathetic response from absolutely pathetic people. I was not a fan of Pelosi but even she would be better than the current crew.

Utah also thought Mitt Romney and Trump would be good presidents so hopefully this will be another reason for the end of Shapiro's presidential ambitions.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) says that Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) would make a good president.
