Thousands of Minneapolitans swarmed the streets today in -10 degree weather to protest the ICE occupation. Minnesota also organized the largest general strike in 70 years. 👏

Marc Elias has worked tirelessly against the Trump regime winning most of the litigation. Support him @democracydocket.com Thank you. Please pass this along.
Republicans are raising the stakes of enacting a new voter suppression law this year. Today, I lay out how the SAVE Act will only save Trump's ability to exercise authoritarian power.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Should be the easiest thing in the world for Dems in the Midwest to run against giving federal tax money to southern rich kids for private school.
Gov. Tate Reeves' decision comes as the Mississippi Legislature debates a bill to create private school vouchers called Magnolia Student Accounts. The bill has already passed the Mississippi House and currently awaits consideration with the Senate.
Private Schools in Mississippi Will Get Federal Funding Under Trump Voucher Plan
Mississippi parents could soon use federal tax credits to send children to private and homeschool programs through federal vouchers.

I haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law.
1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos
2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota
3. ICE claiming the power to enter our homes

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Sweden's national music charts have banned a song specifically because it was created by AI, marking what appears to be the first time a national chart system has implemented such a policy.
