I can’t stop saying this enough. We are no longer protesting. We are resisting an out of control federal government, and our local government is not helping.

This is good news. Voters should never have to choose between our privacy and our right to participate in our democracy.

"Sorry America, we shut down the government because Dems won't let us give billons more to a secret police force you hate that is killing your neighbors." Force Republicans to make that argument. Let them try. It's called politics - Dem leadership should try it some time.

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).
New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. They’re taking anyone who’s vertical and breathing.
ICE hired a journalist without a background check, drug test, or anything else. They gave her a six minute interview and then listed her on their website as having joined ICE.

This journalist was/is my friend @laurajedeed.bsky.social

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

NEW: Anti-voting activists are baselessly claiming that a number of noncitizens were illegally registered to vote in Michigan. But experts say the allegations rest on misrepresented data aimed at painting the state’s top Democratic gubernatorial candidate in a negative light.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy.
A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

It's similarly "odd" how the right's advancement of colorblindness as the better means of promoting racial justice lasted precisely until they had the political power to unleash widespread explicit race-based oppression.
It's odd, isn't it, how the supposed "woke overreach" that we are told has repulsed all of America & sent Dems into the wilderness coincided, almost perfectly, with final collapse of media gatekeepers & the rise of unrestrained RW media & social media dominance.

Interesting. In response to Raskin asking DOJ whether any J6ers are being recruited by ICE, Tricia McLaughlin accuses Raskin of painting law enforcement as villains. Does she agree that J6ers are villains?
I asked the US Dept of Homeland Security about Rep. Jamie Raskin's inquiry into whether pardoned Jan 6 rioters are now working for ICE

Below is Tricia McLaughlin's response.

The statement does not specifically answer if any Jan 6 rioters are... working for ICE ===>

The amount of anger and resentment this cruel and corrupt administration has engendered in America’s liberal majority has not been fully realized by the Democratic Party.

But it will be a political force.

The Democratic base doesn’t just want to win. They want to cow their opposition.

And good.
I'm sorry, Appeasement Democrats, but we already tried your way. Working to hide Trump's malfeasance from the public, sanding off as many rough edges as possible, working to avoid confrontation under the theory that he wants confrontation, then trying to move on as if it didn't happen failed. Badly.

a major campaign issue of far right parties across the world is "crime" and fearmongering thereof and its crucial for left-liberal coalitions to tackle the issue directly as based on lies and failed "get tough" policy, and treat voters as adults capable of understanding the criminological literature

I hope and pray that journalists with good Treasury or whatever sources are getting to the bottom of the Qatar angle, because that is going to be a crazy Pandora's Box when it finally opens
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
