The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

A few months ago I interviewed Zolal Habibi, she was born into the Iranian resistance and is a true fighter. She has devoted her entire life to fighting for the freedom of Iranians.
If you would like to educate yourself a little bit about Iran, this could be a good interview to listen to.

I haven't shared the story of Rudy over here yet, so I will have to catch you all up. I found Rudy starving on the side of the road the day after Christmas and I couldn't leave him there. He's very sick and is on borrowed time but I'm making sure that he feels loved and his belly is full.

So the guy who wanted peaceful protesters in DC to be shot is threatening Iran for shooting protesters there. Have I got that right?

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:
Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.
To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Nick Sortor is a far right agitator currently in Minneapolis. He assaulted this woman, and when she fought back and others went to protect her, ICE charged from across the street, opening fire like they were storming Omaha Beach. FUCK ICE

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment?
CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

I went viral back in May because I was detained by ICE at the Miami airport. They revoked my global entry and TSA precheck at the airport and lied. Big thanks to Jill for sharing this here, I had no idea.
@mollyruland.bsky.social shared the attached post on FB. It is a frightening 1st-person account of the stark reality operating in the US. I encourage people to take the time to read it, to take heed, but also to speak out as best you can.
