ICE and the Border Patrol pose a threat not just to our civil liberties but to our political liberties. The fight for free and fair elections is paramount.

The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

Trump's DOJ has arrested Don Lemon for the grievous sin of journalism which makes Trump look incompetent. Bye bye 1st Amendment if this succeeds, except I expect Don will humiliate Trump for this and it will completely backfire

The stone now called The Devil' Fingernail was once known as The Old King's Arrow and may have been the folkloric place called Wōdan's Spear. The importance isn't in the names themselves, but that the Long Neolithic has to power to demand such naming. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

This. All of it. But don’t exclude from prosecution the leaders who created and guided and ordered the crimes.
Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

America's religion is capitalism.
The color green trumps white.
The 1% and all the Trump bootlickers are fine with fascism unless it hurts their bottom line.
That's the only thing that will end their complicity with this terrorism.
So, use your dollar. Boycott. Strike. Shame them. Mock them.

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA.
To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness.
What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country.
Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.
The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.
Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.
Now get off my lawn.

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
