If GOP won’t stand up, the Dems have no choice but to shut down the government. Stop the madness.

Money voted on by Congress. The clear intent of the law. This ruling is why average people think the judicial system is broken. Someone please explain. Judge Allows Policy Restricting Lawmakers’ Access to ICE Facilities www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

@michigandems.bsky.social Midterms are this year. Only Dems with a plan for dismantling ICE have my vote.

I am becoming more radicalized by the day just watching the news.

It’s been a horrible couple of weeks so we try to get out and lift some spirits. At UCONN medical school library visiting with aspiring care providers.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

Beautiful prose. Tragically accurate. “It does not matter, in practical terms, whether ICE’s actions are legal. In mafia states, legal is a malleable notion. What matters is that they are wrong. What matters is how they can be stopped.”

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them. But this one hit today. And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon. fascism wrapped in our own flag

Hey, @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov: I'm not a senator, but if ICE thugs were rampaging through the major city in my state, I might try to impede Senate business as usual and try to bring everything to a halt until I could get answers or force some votes. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Important But still… abolish ICE Disinformation in Minneapolis Shooting Points at People Who Were Not Involved www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/u...

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social: “Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

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

In ANY way 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

This too is something we must demand in every call we make and every opportunity we have to speak out. Shut down DHS. Shut it down.

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

Same.

Democrats should shut down the government until ICE is completely defunded and destroyed. No quarter. None.

Time for Democrats in the Senate to deny unanimous consent in protest of murderous ICE.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Jan 6 happened. Cannot be denied. Anyone who attempts to impede the functioning of the government should all be in jail, especially the leaders. But let’s get back to Epstein starting tomorrow.

Guess I’ll be staying at Hilton from now on.

Guess the gov’t will be shutting down at the end of the month again.

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

Ok military legal eagles, @radiofreetom.bsky.social , what’s the current take on illegal orders? I don’t expect enlisted to refuse. Too much pressure. But it seems the officer corps has failed. Do we need reform: code of military justice? Officer education? Greater protections for those who refuse?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

There is no punishment too heinous for these miscreants.

Release the Jack Smith transcript.

Free the Jack Smith files!

Hey dem friends in Virginia, Kaine not up for reelection until 2030. But you sure can call his office and tell him what you think. Here's his office number: +1 202-224-4024

Come ON. If you're in Virginia, please call up Kaine and tell him IMPEACH NOW. They're covering up for pedophiles. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? (202) 224-4024

Right after the Epstein files, I want to see the Jack Smith files. #releasetheJackSmithfiles

feels stupid to say at this point but how the fuck isn't anyone invoking the 25th amendment.

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

I have no such faith in our faithless court but even if true, our Congress is not up to the task, and too gerrymandered to respond. Actually, the Supreme Court Has a Plan www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/o...

I would love a still photo with the names of all of every single pathetic, sycophantic jackasses standing behind Trump and going along with this

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.

Great Day at UCONN-Waterbury. Lots of students. Lots of fun. Good luck on finals!

America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.
