It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms
With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.

There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

Funny how the “immigration crisis” seems to show up exactly where the political grudges live.

This looks personal.

The House could vote today on the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation modeled on the infamous SAVE Act. This series of bills would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering. Make sure your representative hears from you.

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

And these words on Bad Bunny’s football held up to the camera at the end: “Together We Are America.”
Bad Bunny: So uplifting. And the words in English on the billboard: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Right on.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

The Live Nation Ticketmaster merger has been an absolute DISASTER for artists and fans. Live Nation now controls roughly 70-80% of major concert and live‑event ticket sales and owns a significant share of venues and concert promotions.

ICE is irredeemably evil.

Defund and abolish.

It cannot be reformed.
ICE recently deported 5-year-old Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos, a U.S. citizen without access to legal counsel or a hearing. The trauma and chaos of this case show the rampant due process violations that are tearing families apart.

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up.

Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

Don Lemon "ransacked a church". Good and Pretti were "violent domestic terrorists", and somehow Obama joined forces with Cuba, China and Italy to rig the 2020 election.

If only they treated actual problems with the gravity and seriousness they do with their lies...

I will never in my life understand why people think it's acceptable for people to be locked up, maimed, tortured, and possibly killed all because they crossed the border without filling out the appropriate forms or have the right paperwork... That's what it boils down to.
