Im a 🖤🤎 immigrant, unhoused+living out my car with my dog in Ohio. With ICE coming soon, I urgently need safe shelter for at least a month. Navigating racism, immigration stress, and survival is exhausting. Crowdfunding is my only option. Help us survive💔⬇️

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

Sadistic, violent liars.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Seeing a story like this is a reminder and a warning that in a world flooded with disinformation and AI-generated noise is a world that favours authoritarians and fascists. Democracy depends on shared facts to build consensus, but those common reference points have eroded.

According to Wikipedia "National Prayer Breakfast is designed to be a forum for the political, social, and business elite to assemble and pray together."
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

I don't know how a person of faith can watch the president's "speech" at the National Prayer Breakfast and come away with an ounce of respect for this nasty madman.

What an abomination to the witness of the Church. 😢
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Great letter and explanation of how the path to an authoritarian government is already in progress. We’re watching it happen and nobody’s stopping it.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP.

That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care.

Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?

RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
