I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

NEW: Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion dollars. Here's what that means: The president is suing an agency he oversees for an amount that would roughly double his net worth. That's outrageous.

Folks ask why ICE agents at polling places would be such a bad thing since voters are U.S. citizens anyways… This is why. We cannot allow legal voters to be intimidated by ICE agents that act with impunity no matter your immigration status.

Jared Kushner has billions in foreign investments, while serving as a Trump admin negotiator with foreign countries, but is subject to *no* ethics rules or oversight. What we know is already bad enough. This reported complaint only adds to our concerns.

Harrisonburg, VA is not on there yet…. But we will be having one!

Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool. But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong. With @texastribune.org

Today, we mourn a giant in the civil rights movement who left an indelible mark on our politics and our world. All of us in the fight to build a democracy that works for everyone stand on the shoulders of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Any day is a good day to quit substack, which profits from hosting nazis.

“There are now 23 books prohibited in any Utah public school … their average publication date is 2009. This means that most of these books have been on shelves and available for many years and caused no issues until this manufactured crisis.”

We do. We all need to hear this.

Ok, sorry for the delay on this one, but I had to do extra research and networking on this one because, shocker, I don’t know everything about every department at SSA and phone rep training is not something I have had to do. Obviously this is not the correct way to handle this so let’s dive in. 😬😬😬

All of us in @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social continue to be targeted. The film ends, but the harassment doesn’t.

Angela Davis does not believe in selective freedom. Justice is not a privilege. It is a principle. American scholar and activist whose writing and organizing reshaped feminist, racial justice, and liberation movements. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Virginia folks: make this quote famous when republicans say it’s not fair for politicians to pick their voters.

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

The bigger question I want folks to ask is what if Virginia doesn’t redistrict? What message does that send to a thug like Trump and his enablers?

"UK confirms Russia poisoned Navalny in prison with rare toxin" www.gov.uk/government/n...

The State Department orders libraries to stop providing passport services to customers. This is part of the “save act”. Voter suppression is against the law. He knows if he can discourage people from voting this is the only way he can win. #SheShed #VoteBlue apnews.com/article/pass...

Again, that's not how any of this works you crazy bitch. Vote like your life depends on it has never been truer. That's why we've been working to compile a master list of all the state voting info and deadlines: drive.google.com/file/d/1nHt6...

NEW EPISODE: Republicans know they’re on track to lose the 2026 midterms—and they’re trying to rig the election to stop it. I break down the Save America Act, the most sweeping voter suppression bill in a generation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYsx...

In recent weeks, a bunch of VA Democratic elected officials, etc. have posted "AI slop" (usually AI-generated images of themselves, in one case with 3 arms). Fmr. VA06 Dem nominee Jennifer Lewis argues that they should not be doing so. Agree or disagree? bluevirginia.us/2026/02/satu...

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.” Sounds accurate to me.

The supposedly "objective" "mainstream media" is in OVERDRIVE whitewashing Rubio's Munich speech, but the fact is, saying things like "appease a climate cult," railing against immigration, etc. makes this an UNHINGED speech by an extremist, ignoramus, etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/02/satu...

🚨 Dept of Homeland Security is sending tech companies administrative subpoenas for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize ICE agents Google, Meta & Reddit complied 🎁 @nytimes.com

“Govt officials now ultimately determine what is on the shelves of public libraries, & therefore our books are on the ballot every time we go vote … Library patrons will be rewarded with a library that reflects their needs only if their local officials agree with them.”

While they tried to convince you it wasn’t book banning, they argued you never had a right to receive ANY ideas in the library (unless they endorse them) before the courts.

No thrones. No crowns. No kings. No negotiation. No surrender. No fear. Just us. And a few million of our closest friends. March 28. #NoKings2026

Not only did they murder hundreds of thousands of people. They also stole the money.

Follow the money… rounding up people is helping some people rake in big bucks.

"So we saw one room of men where there are 55 people in there in a room [where] I would not put more than a dozen or 15 people in. They said it could actually fit more, but people were just shoulder to shoulder,” “They sleep on the ground with aluminum blankets" www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Sen. Mark Warner: "I’ve been accused a lot of times of being way too bipartisan. But...this is how a democracy unwinds...I’m pretty disappointed with my [GOP] friends for not speaking up on [Trump going after members of Congress]" etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/02/vide...

Please make sure all of your friends vote YES on April 21.

Now is the time to start organizing groups of people who will help ensure that if ICE does surround the polls ALL American citizens who want to can access those polls in the midterms and beyond. Just like during the Civil Rights Era.

SAVE Act aka “show your papers” law If you don’t have a passport or access to your birth certificate, you’re not alone. About 21 mill Americans could be blocked from voting, just like you. Why are Trump and Republicans pushing this? Because they do better when fewer people vote. #HandsOffHerVote

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

'So when I am protesting and speaking out against ICE, I’m not just thinking about my family, because my family has some privilege against what ICE is doing. I’m really thinking about all the other people who don’t have that privilege, who are losing their lives' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

NEW: Easily one of the most important interviews I've done. This is bigger than the intel that led to Trump's first impeachment, and Tulsi Gabbard, Susie Wiles, & seemingly Trump himself are feverishly trying to cover it up. You can watch the interview here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-tulsi-...

As top immigration officials testify before Congress this morning, read @vermontgmg.bsky.social on what Democrats need to know to really reform ICE.
