ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

Just a regular reminder that the ENTIRE premise behind the draconian and militaristic immigration enforcement we have been witnessing the past year is based on an empirically disproven lie.

Donald Trump and the White House are using your taxpayer dollars to rewrite history about January 6, 2021. Today, I exposed the truth. From covering the tiny pro-insurrectionist rally to combatting the White House’s lies, I encourage you to share this report everywhere:

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate. GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

Love animals? Have a spare corner & lots of love? TEMPORARY FOSTERS NEEDED NATIONWIDE. Animals die in shelters even when they find a Rescue to save them! Rescues need Fosters before they can pull an animal from a shelter. Fosters usually get all expenses covered! Plz consider being a Foster!

Your regular reminder that mainstream pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform, & it was a mistake for us, as a society, to continue tolerating this stuff in any way, shape, or form, even long before the GOP went full authoritarian.

RE: John Bolton "The primary way that authoritarians are able to claim control isn't through a lot of repression. It's through occasional repression that scares people, so they 'know what to do in this administration,' and therefore they cede power right away. Power you don't use, you lose."
