I'm asking that we all raise our political expectations. We deserve good things.

Trump acknowledges that Democrats would be better off packing the court. YES THEY WOULD. IF DEMS WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME ABOIT THIS, I HAVE EXTENSIVE NOTES

Can someone explain to me how there was only voter fraud in the states Trump LOST?

Well which is it? Are you for birthright citizenship or against?

There are some Dems who are uneasy about "trans issues" and would like to "find a compromise" with MAGA but: 1) there is no compromise with this rhetoric 2) they'd never compromise anyway 3) when you try to do that, all it does is show voters who lean your way that you are weak and unprincipled.

i'm watching spike lee's remarkable documentary FOUR LITTLE GIRLS and as much as i want to focus on the film i can't help but think about the people, with real power and influence, who want to take this country back to before birmingham

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

Idk how this would even work but Duke Energy has to be stopped. That can look like breaking up their monopoly or more regulation, but they can’t just keep raising people’s rates to pay for their poor decision making, investments, and whatever the hell is going on with these data centers.

One year into RFK Jr.’s tenure, and the results are clear: our public health system is weaker, Americans are less safe and less healthy, and science has been pushed aside. He must be impeached.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

I just watched the lyric video of Bruce's new song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDaP... - powerful

One reason you can't just tinker with ICE/CBP is the whole thing is facially illegitimate. The intent is rotten. It's run by a white supremacist maniac and will continue producing white supremacist maniac results

was that not already banned

Half a billion on terrorizing citizens but we can’t have universal healthcare or basic income or affordable housing or public transit or

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

The movement now has its own “Ohio” thanks to Bruce Springsteen‘s “Streets of Minneapolis”: youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

vance has to stay on the good sign of the teen nazis that are his primary constituency

You know it's going to especially infuriate Stephen Miller that Alex Pretti will become the beatified saint he tried turning Charlie Kirk into.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Same people who whinge endlessly about how the removal of confederate monuments “erases history” have no problem erasing actual history

It would be really useful if Dems on HJC pointed out that Pam Bondi's own counselor said that Aileen Cannon wrongly decided on the Jack Smith case (in the Comey/James cases).

This is a systematic effort to violate constitutional rights as policy while keeping it secret from the public, the courts, and Congress. Yet more evidence that "reform" is not an option. The bare minimum is to abolish ICE and permanently bar all employees from future federal employment.

Love this.

The one and only time NATO has invoked Article 5 and waged collective defense was when they came to *our* aid after 9/11. That's a fact, no matter how dumb our current president is. Just saying.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

How big is Greenland? Its so big it covers up 99% of the Epstein files.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

Stick this directly in my veins

Seriously. I have issues with how the press handles statements from law enforcement—but this is something else. This admin, this agency, these same officials have constantly lied the whole time, including lying about events on video. It is dishonest for journalists to simply repeat their claims.

As it happens though, the framers of the US constitution did say it: in the 4th amendment, the 5th, the 10th, etc. What they didn’t provide for is federal immigration enforcement of any kind, only “a uniform rule of naturalization.” Nor did they give the federal government a plenary police power.

It’s kind of wild that we simply do not have a federal government right now and nobody is talking about it directly

Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Democrats need to realize ICE isn’t just—or even primarily—a mass deportation force. ICE is also Trump’s most loyal internal security force which will be used to attack regime opponents and try to steal the election. They should defund his authoritarian capabilities.

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

People are out in the rain and snow.

There's no "training" to "reform" this culture of violence and impunity, the only solution is to eliminate the agency and fire everyone associated. Before someone whines "but but you need immigration enforcement" okay explain to me exactly how this is "immigration enforcement." It's just thuggery.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

In the budget discussions, Dems should refuse to fund ICE unless agents can’t wear masks, they must identify themselves and must read people their Miranda rights. Even with these conditions, ICE funding should be limited to border operations. Stop further shootings. Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew
