American, egalitarian, humanitarian, avoiding cuts.

..tell me if the lovers are losers . . . tell me if any

American icon:

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

A Republican-led Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one noncitizen, who never voted.

The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

@joshtpm.bsky.social: ICE and CBP are in Minneapolis to overawe the local population and spark chaos to justify greater acts of violence. But Americans who disagree with the policies of the current administration aren't a conquered people.

What Alex Pretti did to come to the aid of woman who was being abused by goons cost him his life. Decency requires us to act for the good of others. Alex and Renee are now martyrs.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

spoilt, incompetent child of a rich father who spends their life getting and ruining a series of opportunities that for most people would be once-in-a-lifetime dreams is a really common story, but she seems to have managed to become the spoilt daughter at large for an entire class of older, rich men

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.

This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
