It could happen to ANYONE. And absolutely EVERYONE should be outraged by the abuse and cruelty we’re watching play out in our names. Our tax dollars are funding this.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

She said she was headed to a doctor's appointment. Federal agents still attacked her.

Earlier today in Minneapolis, journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) documented a tense, chaotic federal operation near 34th Street and Park Avenue.

ICE fascists kidnapped a mother and blocked her from seeing her child as he was dying from cancer. The child died, and ICE still won’t let her out. This is their idea of “keeping us safe.” A truly evil and cruel and soulless cult. youtube.com/shorts/n1nvX...

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

This is so gross - Google it, look it up, whatever you have to do. They are intentionally echoing a Nazi slogan that threatens mass murder if you harm one of their officers.

It's getting harder to casually dismiss comparisons to the worst regime the world has ever seen.

Did you cancel your Spotify subscription? If so, pat yourself on the back, because IT WORKED! Strategic boycotts and similar actions are an important way we exercise our power. We DO have power.

🚨 CAMPAIGN LAUNCH TODAY 🚨
Today is the 250th anniversary of “Common Sense" by Thomas Paine. It was a radical idea then, and it’s being called a radical idea now. 
The message from Common Sense was to see things as they are and do things as they ought to be.

Malignant narcissism, folks. This is what it looks like.
This is the very definition of grandiosity. With a side of nuke codes.
Trump told NYT that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his "own morality" — brushing aside international law and other legitimate checks on his abilities.

"My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

"I don't need international law."

@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social is absolutely correct. ICE needs to be disbanded. The tragedy in Minneapolis is exactly what you get when an incompetent and unhinged executive hires an incompetent lackey and puts them in charge of his personal army.
ICE is a "rogue organization" and it should be "disbanded," says Democratic Congressman @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social in an interview with me today, for 'Mehdi Unfiltered', reacting to the shocking killing in Minneapolis.

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

There is a lot wrong in America today, the working class is struggling to get by and corporations keep taking more.

I will put the people first, above any corporate interest.

Happy New Year! I’ll see you in 2026 as we build a future WE ALL deserve.

Morgan Griffith is boasting about Virginia being awarded $189.5 million for 2026.

Meanwhile, in his district and our state:
$2 BILLION is being cut from Medicaid in 2026
2 rural hospitals face closure

This is not winning.
