Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings. newrepublic.com/article/2060...

Yesterday the House Speaker echoed electoral conspiracy results that “just look on its face to be fraudulent.” This is madness built on momentum to pass a more restrictive voting act that could disenfranchise millions of voters. SAY NO TO CONGRESS. AGAIN! www.lwv.org/take-action/...

Staff at the Center for Victims of Torture said that some conditions their clients face in the United States would qualify them for their services had they happened overseas. That includes clients who were recently detained by federal agents.

The SAVE Act will create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents. Americans do not need MORE obstacles to vote. www.lwv.org/take-action/...

"Tell Congress that federal immigration enforcement has gone too far." We ask you to stand with the League and demand that Senators reject additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Patrol.Learn & take action on the LWV website: www.lwv.org/take-action/...

"Minnesota is not isolated. It’s a testing ground. Peaceful protestors have been killed for exercising their freedoms to gather, protest & express dissent with their government, which they have the full right & authority to do.”—Celina Stewart, CEO @lwvminnesota.bsky.social @lwvme.bsky.social

NEW: Why is your personal data being put in harm’s way? The answer is simple: Trump wants to control who can vote in elections. The DOJ’s voter data scheme is nothing more than an attempt to incorrectly purge eligible voters from the rolls — all in the name of winning, Dan Vicuña writes.

Social media is full of opportunities to support neighbors and community with money and actions. We want to amplify the IDN (immigrantdefensenetwork.org) and COPAL (copalmn.org). They work to provide trainings, resources, and supplies to those impacted by the presence of ICE in our communities.

NEW: Pro-voting advocates are furious over Republicans’ newly unveiled MEGA Act, a sweeping proposal to dramatically restrict voting access. Top Democratic lawmakers swore the bill, which is rooted in conspiracy theories over facts, would be “dead-on-arrival.”
