The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels. Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism. 1/6

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

The judge is a woman.

Louder for those in the back.

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal. This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat. Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wanna know whose shutdown this is? Pay attention to who’s enjoying it.

Baby owl! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 #bluesky #nature #animals #wildlife

Not a cult tho

Advocacy groups sued to block the Trump administration’s creation of centralized databases of Americans’ personal information for purging voter rolls and launching criminal investigations, alleging violations of federal privacy laws. https://bit.ly/48e1qRp

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Militarized federal agents raided a Chicago apartment complex and pulled men, women, and children from their homes and into U-haul vans, separating the children from their parents. Some people were pulled from their bed naked and terrified in the dead of night.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

It is no surprise that over 70% of Americans—including 6 in 10 Republicans—support extending the health care tax credits. Congressional Republicans’ refusal to extend these vital tax credits will cause the premiums of millions of Americans to more than double.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military. They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Another working dinner at the Naval Observatory on what to do about the Epstein files?

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found. At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Gavin Newsom: “He’s trying to rig the election. Period, full stop. In plain sight. Wake up everybody. He is wrecking this democracy. This is about authoritarianism. He doesn’t believe in the rule of law. He belives in the Rule of Don.”

Dems- don't engage "you want healthcare for undocumented immigrants." Reply with "The shutdown is for one reason only- to hide the Epstein evidence that is so damaging to the White House." Every interview, every comment, every time. Learn how to win in the court of public opinion one goddam time.

This seems like incitement to violence against judges.

These nasty little ICE skirmishes are all leading up to some big and likely deadly confrontation, aren’t they? I have such a feeling of dread.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Trump needs to be investigated. That's not a purely theoretical idea, because we don't need Congress or the DOJ to do it. ICYMI Steven Strauss: www.thebulwark.com/p/state-comm...

“Hello. You have reached the voicemail for the FBI. All our agents are currently busy redacting names from the Epstein files, doctoring evidence to politicize mass shootings and investigating anyone the President does not like. Please leave your contact info and someone will call you back soon.”

Tbilisi, 🇬🇪 — thousands have taken to the streets right now and are marching toward the presidential palace.

Thugs.

Aww! Mom anteater, carrying her child, decides that Dad can carry both of them.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

The Texas redistricting hearing started on Wednesday in El Paso. Democracy Docket is covering it every day like it is the most important case for free and for elections in the country -- because it is. Legacy media is no where to be found. Support the DD team to make it possible. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The generals weren’t the only ones who gave Kegsbreath a bad review.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans. ICE is terrorizing communities.

The number of right-wingers calling for Bad Bunny to be "deported" during the Super Bowl is honestly frightening. Bro, if you're 42 years old and don't know that Puerto Rico is part of the United States, you should not be voting! Hell, you shouldn't even be considered a functional adult.

Can Miller really believe this? If so, he is delusional. If not, then he’s a reprehensible demagogue.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Spot on.
