I'll be honest, I don't expect fair elections for the midterms. But I'm going to push for voting anyway because we can't just hand this country over to them. We've got to fight to the bitter end to restore Democracy in this country.

What gives you hope in these awful times? I’ll tell you my answer: the people of Minneapolis.

BREAKING: Democrat Christian Menefee wins special election for Texas U.S. House seat, narrowing GOP's slim majority.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

Yep. Nailed it.

Great turnout today in cold temps for We Ride in Unity - Iowa City, Bike Library - Remembering Alex Pretti. Ride Together Stand Together #noice #iowa

This will break your heart. music.youtube.com/watch?v=1OW_...

Do you get it now?

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

This is what the Republican party has become. The GOP: instead of Grand Old Party. It's Guardians Of Pedophiles (Trump), Or Goons on Patrol (ICE- Homan, Noem, Bovino).

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch. But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This MUST NOT pass!

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We’re in court challenging ICE’s denial of access to legal counsel to people held at the detention center cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz." Access to an attorney is a right, not a privilege.

@markzaidesq.bsky.social (and his law firm), along with the amazing Kevin Carroll got this done. Thanks to Mark, Kevin and the firm.... The line “Let’s kill all the lawyers” is making the point that tyrants must first eliminate the rule of law and those who uphold it. Guys like Mark and Kevin.

The Trump Administration always seems so unaware of what they say is so self-damning. Are you kidding me!? 🗽

Abolish. ice. 💔

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

🚨BREAKING: Hours after holding a hearing about DOJ letter threatening Minnesota, Federal judge in Oregon DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to access state voter rolls. Another win for our clients and voters. Another loss for Trump and Bondi. www.democracydocket.com/cases/oregon...

🚨BREAKING: Minnesota state attorneys alleged in a court hearing that Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are attempting to force the state to surrender its sovereignty — in particular, its control over elections — through the massive federal immigration operation in the Twin Cities region.

Nailed it.

Today he forgot the word for “Alzheimer’s” as he claimed not to have it.

Now he needs to pay for his crimes. Nazis do not get a free pass and get fade off into the sunset.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Trump and his thugs can do a great deal of damage if not stopped. We must not succumb to fear or despair. What can we do now? A few action items occur to me: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mourning-in-america

This may be our opportunity to stop the fascist regime in its tracks, before physical war breaks out. The only thing oligarchs understand is greed. The only thing the regime understands more than racism is greed. Let's hit them in the pocket books.

Joni Ernst (R,IA), repeating the regime's lies verbatim. She is useless as a senator and useless as a human being. Remember, she was the deciding vote on the confirmation of the most unqualified Sec of Defense in history.

Michael Che on SNL: "I get that I.C.E. Agents are people, allegedly. And they have a job to do. But at some point, while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop and ask yourself, are we dicks?"

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

I swear to god some of these corporate news outlets would open a window right now and say “We can’t confirm it, but it appears that the ground is allegedly being snowed upon.”

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Our mob regime again using extortion & holding a state's population hostage to achieve their nefarious goals.

And there it is. Exactly what I have been saying since Reagan got shot. The first steps to the Republicans taking legal firearms away from everyone. It was NEVER going to be the Dems that would do it.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.
