100 miles from the border is not a "reasonable distance." No reasonable person regards a place 100 miles away as being "on the border." Gettysburg may have been a "border town" in 1863 but no "reasonable" person would call it that now. Change this unreasonable law.

You could primary every democrat tomorrow while Trump died of explosive diarrhea and still not purge fascism from this country. No one is coming to save us. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We have the power to make something greater than the scraps we're given.
It's socialism or barbarism.

A big part of US internet now is someone posting "America must be cleansed. Women are eating a new food called 'salad.'" And then random people start making shit up like "What even is 'salad?' I had never heard of this until yesterday." And if you don't stop reading that shit you will go insane.

When the Department of Homeland Security was formed, I told people. I told them it would lead to Gestapo shit. They’re always telling me I’m being paranoid. They can’t do that it’s against law, they tell me. It just keeps happening though. And they keep calling me paranoid.

The Battle of Cable Street. On 4 October 1936 Mosley tried to march his blackshirts through the East End, by concentration the most Jewish area in the world. The gov't refused to ban it. The Jewish press counseled calm. The Communist Party refused to assist, not wanting to be seen as hooligans.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Put another way, 155 House democrats agree with Trump’s foreign policy of invading Greenland, invading Venezuela, and invading Canada.

So, how does the population of a member state request electoral assistance when their government will not? Do we need a big petition? Asking for a friend, who is me.

It is amazing to me that Jeffries can simultaneously stuff his head neck deep in the sand AND eat an entire delicious boot from the boot buffet.
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency
