If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

❤️ MELIA is looking for a home after her training. A home with no small kids. Teenagers are fine. If you have a dog, you can do a meet & greet with Melia. She's at K9 Rehab in Watertown, Connecticut. Contact @pawspathtofurever.bsky.social if you have any questions. Thank you ❤️

Trump isn't just suing the IRS. He's waging a war on it. His regime has... -Shut down the IRS's Direct File program, a huge gift to the tax prep industry -Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers -Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

We already live in a surveillance state. ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to. They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation. 1/2

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

They stole Mary Kenner’s brilliance and erased her name. I’m putting her back in history. They buried Black innovation and hoped we’d forget. ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a reckoning. Read it before they ban it. Share it before they silence it. Get your copy now: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

The Fulton County search warrant & its implications for the 2026 & future elections is critically important news & not getting the coverage it merits. Read my most recent piece to get the download & understand why this is such a significant development. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland. In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.

The MAHA crew is going to insist this is fake news. Possibly because many of them are still mad that we're not all dead yet like they predicted. Anyway, get your boosters, folks.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

Abraham Lincoln held elections in the midst of the American Civil War.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

THIS is what everyone should be seeing: bsky.app/profile/kaka...

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Some 2,255 measles cases were recorded last year, marking the highest point in over 30 years.

Reminder: The Epstein files aren’t delayed. A law is being broken. We’re still missing 99%.

Interesting look at property controls and anti-competitive practices in the grocery business (i.e. how commercial landlords attract anchor stores). (housing scholar hint: Competition Bureau might also want to peek at municipal corporation property controls on housing!) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yesterday, over 30,000 people protested against ICE in below-zero temperatures. Amazing work, everyone. Minnesota strong. Tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Can't believe I have to say this but climate change is responsible for extreme cold snaps.

“The agent, Tracee Mergen, left her job as a supervisor in the F.B.I.’s Minneapolis field office after bureau leadership in Washington pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the immigration officer, Jonathan Ross…”

ICE descends on Maine. "[Gov. Janet] Mills said, ‘Look, Maine knows what good law enforcement looks like because our law enforcement are held to high professional standards.... they don’t wear a mask..., and they don’t arrest people in order to fill a quota.’” abcnews.go.com/US/dhs-launc...

This presidency feels like an abusive household.

Trump says you can’t defend land (a country) on a “lease.” But that’s what NATO is for. Defending other countries that we done own and them defending us in return.

Greenland. Why get it for free when we can pay for it. They are willing to give us everything we want for free. If we “take” it, we start an unnecessary war (cost money, life), we lose our allies (cost future relationships), we now have to pay for people to live there (money). It’s silly.

Our UU congregants walked out today in frigid weather in Massachusetts to protect democracy and our neighbors. I'm so proud of our folks for living their faith aloud. #Walkout #Resist

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

If what ICE is doing has anything to do with the law, why are they routinely breaking laws, violating the Constitution, violating civil rights, and hurting and killing innocent people?

BREAKING: The DOJ has subpoenaed multiple Minnesota Democrats in what seems to be retaliation. The subpoenas reportedly didn’t cite a specific criminal statute. Instead, the investigation is centered on claims that these leaders conspired to stop the rollout of federal agents. trib.al/ys8uHYI

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

A month after the Epstein files deadline, only a fraction of DOJ records have been released. Does no one have the power to confront this obstruction of justice or are we to be “ok” with the fact we now are ruled by a dictator.

Now is the time for everyone to speak out

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

Re: midterm elections Some may not understand, but voters have the right to vote for the candidate of their choice. I may not agree with their choice but I respect their right to choose. Would encourage everyone to contact their Congressman and Senators directly to voice his/her concerns.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies. And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on. Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

On Friday, Virginia became the 24th state to be sued by DOJ for refusing to turn over sensitive voter data. So far, California & Oregon, have won their cases. The League position has been consistently clear. Stay informed. Join our fight for democracy. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social
