on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

So glad that Dems are finally maybe starting to play by the same rules that the Republicans have been for decades

I definitely saw this coming based on how Raman has been posting and engaging with people recently. LA would be lucky to have her as mayor.

I was blocked from entering Otay Mesa Detention Center today to conduct oversight after receiving concerning allegations about conditions there. We've heard reports that detainees are throwing notes over the fences asking for help. What are they trying to hide here? What are they doing?

Why are photojournalists important? Imagine your news outlet not having cameras when the January 6th insurrection happened.

I'm already seeing a few notable ways that this has been scaled back from the last version of these maps that OPCD had released. Upzones along the Route 2 heading down to Lake Washington in Madrona have been cut out, for example.

I’ve never been to any of these so no loss for me but this is what happens when you allow corporations to expand without limit! I feel for those who rely on these without other accessible options.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I’m not allowing myself to feel any of the feelings otherwise I’ll fall apart but I did set up recurring donation to my local immigrant bond fund so that’s something you can do too if you’re struggling to deal with things and able to make a donation.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I’m pretty sure abducting a child is not necessary and proper for immigration enforcement, just in case the local DA in Minneapolis wants to enforce kidnapping and/or child abuse laws.

His personal opposition is irrelevant - his actual job is to unite the House Dems. It ain't over til it's over - now's the time to push for a strategy shift. Call your rep and ask them to: 1) Publicly oppose ICE funding 2) Call on Jeffries to whip the vote

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect
While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.
