On Monday evening, Rachel Maddow spotlighted this group working out of Baltimore. Just another in a long list of unsung, American heroes. Donate to their project!

Project Salt Box: How citizen sleuths are monitoring ICE in Maryland
Inside their homes scattered around the Baltimore area, the group of watchdogs is unearthing records, like property filings, contracts, and government procurements, that are otherwise overlooked.

This is not a terrible idea. It's not electioneering if you're not holding a sign or pushing a particular candidate. You can hang out anyplace you like.
When Voting day arrives..it would benefit the Democratic Voters to hang around outside the Polling Places in massive numbers..this was suggested by one of my State Democratic Reps who is awesome...organize it.. this is how can make it safe for your fellow Citizens to Vote in Person...

You know the worst part of being old? You have all this bitter, hard-earned experience, things you've learned over the years by making mistakes and dealing with the mistakes of others, and young people dismiss you. Think they know better. I feel like Cassandra. Worse still, I was the the same.

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems don’t need reform. They need to be abolished.

Okay, are we looking at the start of a brain drain like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union/Russia experienced? Note: I don't blame anyone for seizing an opportunity to flee the madness in the US, but it does make me sad. We used to be the place people fled to.
Are you an US healthcare professional that has had enough of the regime? Are you looking for a safe landing for you, your family and career? British Columbia Canada is actively recruiting doctors and nurses and fast tracking credential recognition. See more here. news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Let's be clear: Everything The Regime is doing makes perfect sense if you recognize that their goal is to undo all social progress since the New Deal, establish an oligarchy, create a subservient working class willing to work for shit wages just to survive, and conduct eugenics by purging the weak.

It may not be who those of us who have fought for social justice in past decades are, but remember, the racists and misogynists we won victories over have not gone away. They are as much a part of America as we are, and they are reasserting their power with a vengeance.

I think Republicans in Congress have already indicated their lack of moral compass. That is a foregone conclusion.
It mind boggles me how Bill Clinton, a blowjob, and then perjurying himself got him impeached.
But Trump having raped and assaulted underage girls, including all the corrupt shit in office...nothing.
Republicans have absolutely NO moral compass if they protect this pedo president from impeachment.
