I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent. Will you? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-re...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

Exactly. Pay attention America.

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13. That would mean no votes in the House until mid-month.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

ICE is absolutely out of control in Chicago.

Republican congressional leaders and JD Vance managed to both keep Trump from speaking much during yesterday’s White House meeting and from appearing in public afterwards, so he took to Twitter to post a racist AI-generated video. Solid response from the Democratic Leader here:

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

The Secret Service job is too shield the President, not prop them up into a more vulnerable position 😕 Fake as the jay-sus they follow

Just wow! Can we appreciate the fact that a team from Mexico is in Texas helping with the search and rescue. 👏🏽

Concentration camps (with merch!). Gestapo. Forever War. Genocide. A system of indentured serfdom, slavery, for farm workers seized by ICE. A useless corporate press championing this descent into racist, violent fascism. What a shitty July 4th, America

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up. Powerful video…

Who did this? 😂

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

Trump desperately needs these riots to make us forget about this, so make it viral:

So much this…

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

That description really takes your breath away. This is the kind of journalistic integrity we need right now. Threads.
