I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is exactly what I expect of elected officials in this moment - counter-legislation, and loudly and clearly declaring values. The political calculus might be different at the national level, but the right thing to do is the right thing to do.
The Tennessee Progressive Caucus is pushing back against state Republicans’ immigration proposals with a slate of their own bills, declaring that “ICE is not welcome in Tennessee.”

His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

It’s time for leaders to either put up or shut up, and history will remember.
I will start to take our leader’s resolve seriously when they start shouldering the burden of courage they are demanding of us.

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

I recognize the irony of an American saying this (seriously!) but the American struggle against our fascist government is not a movie and it is not going to be quickly and simply wrapped up because everyone hits the third act mark and magically starts Believing In Themselves

If ICE kills an American citizen is it still immigration and customs enforcement?

I don’t have words for this, but I’ll find some to send to Governor Lee. Unchristian will be one of them, since that hypocrite likes to wave my religion around.

8. I am so appalled that the Trump/Ferguson FTC dropped this case. Local independent grocery stores are being driven out of business — and their customers forced to pay higher prices — by two powerful companies who've been told, in effect, that they can violate the law with impunity.

Everybody needs to see this blatant price collusion, and how there’s been no accountability for it. I hope the other retailers bring suit.
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

lol “Thanksgiving is really a time for mushes of all sorts.” 100% chance I quote this to friends and family this week.
I’m zen about this because I love pumpkin pie but it’s one of those things you can’t get defensive about because it is just flavored mush and if people don’t like a big rectangle of mush I’m not going to call them incorrect, Thanksgiving is really a time for mushes of all sorts.
Just FYI:

I was there and this was a great service! I had 2 shirts and some sandals repaired, and not only did the craftspeople do an amazing job, but also the library social media staff respected my desire not to be on video because I was in messy hair weekend mode. 😂

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
