If you knew who Dick Cheney was, you were in a class of high-info voters who Kamala won

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government. Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp. My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

If democracy dies in the dark, why is @washingtonpost.com turning off the lights?

Our shared history—no matter how difficult—is American history. We will not let the Trump Admin erase the histories, resilience, and triumphs of our Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Chicano, and LGBTQ+ communities. Because how we remember, and who we remember, matters.

Because he knows that if a former president is compelled to testify before Congress about past criminal behavior and could be held accountable for it, then he could be compelled to do the same. Comey inadvertently opened up a can of worms and I’m here for it!

Ok, but for real, why is Donald Trump acting so weird about Clinton testifying under oath about the Epstein files?

The correct answer is ALWAYS "Fuck ICE"

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

A large number Elgin High School students staged a lunchtime walkout on Wednesday to protest the deaths of two people in Minneapolis at the hands of federal immigration agents.

Kiss of death 💋

And not allowing free and fair elections by capturing the media. Yikes America!

Where are the people who screamed nonstop about “FREEDUM”? Or was it all just about who was in charge at the time?

Lawmakers deserve credit for rediscovering the power of the purse—and their spines. Now they should go even further to undo the damage the Trump administration has done to American science econ.st/4qojygx Illustration: Javier Palma

I worked this issue hard with my Afghan Evac partners when Kabul fell. We had volunteers from all walks of life, from every political stripe. This cause united us in purpose unlike anything else. And now, death sentences. Enraged.

The original incident

It's not a pedestrian crash when a driver hits you

This is precisely what happened to the transcript of the Zelensky call that led to Trump’s first impeachment. They stashed it in a code-word classified system for political reasons.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) said she declined to be interviewed by federal prosecutors, saying the Trump administration has embarked on a campaign of “physical and legal intimidation” in response to a video produced by her and other lawmakers.

This week, we launched the Federal Workforce Caucus, a bicameral group working to ensure our civil servants have the resources and support they need—especially as the Trump Admin bullies and traumatizes them. Our civil servants deserve respect, and I'm proud to fight for them.

The murder of Medgar Evers was an act of racial terror. That fact is not partisan. It is historical. Calling it anything else is not “restoring truth.” It is erasing it.

REP. JACKSON at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We pray (Trump) would be mindful of the poor, and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering on farms in the Midwest, and in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Eight civilians killed, 21 wounded in Russian attacks on #Donetsk region over past day Russian army killed seven people in Druzhkivka and one person in Lyman. Another 21 people in the region were injured over the course of the day.

ICE abducted someone in Roslindale today. Just yanked from their car and disappeared because that's what the Gestapo does. Thankfully people were there and hopefully this person will be identified and located.

Crackdown? Julie Le said there's a crackdown? Did I miss that or is @nytimes.com saying that Trump is using legitimate authority in Minnesota to do what he's doing? Julie Le said "this job sucks" not 'this is a legitimate if severe use of authority"

New Q poll: ICE approval 34%-63%, down from 40%-57% on Jan. 13. 60% think ICE should withdraw from Minneapolis, while 36% think ICE should continue its operations in Minneapolis. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

Whistleblower’s lawyer to Tulsi: “You have given us zero guidance… I will contact the senate committee re your conduct on Monday… I maintain top secret eligibility and have been routinely read into matters of national security…” (From @AdamParkhomenko)

FLASH: Weeks after Trump Admin pushed for crackdown on "fraud in Minnesota", the four prosecutors spearheading the case have *all left their jobs* Wave of departures is growing inside Justice Dept office in Minneapolis www.cbsnews.com/news/minneso...

Whether it’s right wing billionaires turning America’s most important media institutions into outlets for right wing propaganda or the Oberlin student council condemning the use of racial slurs, both sides seem to have lost interest in free speech.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social yet another theft of our tax dollars and resources.

I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

From facial detection apps and databases to cellphone trackers and drones, federal immigration enforcement officials are using a growing arsenal of surveillance tools. https://to.pbs.org/4bC8I34

Also for Pete's sake that is not a feature of k-means clustering. Fricken' analysis of data, not truthy magic.

Am I to take from this that the right was always a bunch of Nazis?

Something else by this guy:

The future of our democracy hasn’t been decided yet. It’s being determined right now, in state capitals, county offices, and courtrooms.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Klobuchar points out that the Trump administration is simultaneously assaulting the First Amendment, Second Amendment, and Fourth Amendment

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case (Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

“I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of their skin and what they look like. I did not sign up for that.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Breaking news: Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

Thank you, @muellershewrote.com

Remember when the Fourth Amendment was still a thing? Great work here by @wbaidlaw.bsky.social and @andrewbakaj.bsky.social apnews.com/article/ice-...

"There’s only one reason why the director of national intelligence would go to the state of Georgia, not the country of Georgia, to investigate purported election violations." That reason has a capital T.

Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars. And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

⚡️'Targeted attack' — Tens of thousands without power in Zaporizhzhia as Russia hammers region's energy system. "The Russians are conducting a targeted attack on Zaporizhzhia and the region all day long. As a result of the attacks, over 53,000 subscribers...are without electricity."

Turning America's 250th anniversary into a tacky, Trumpy celebration of himself is part of a broader effort. It also includes removal of Smithsonian exhibits on slavery, National Park signs about geology(!), closing the Kennedy Center and bullying local libraries. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not gullibility, not exactly. Nor personal agreement. A deep psychological need and professional incentive for normality, with both sides equal, where we share basic values but disagree about how. Because if it really is this bad, good people would be biased against it, not neutral and “balanced.”

They are still targeting our schools. Kids and families are still in hiding. Why are our journalists so gullible?
