Don’t make the mistake of lumping this in with weekly Trump outrages. This is the knife at the jugular of democracy. It should be an absolute call to maximum resistance for all patriots. Trump, in an Escalation, Calls for Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Hmmmm

There are many horrible things to note here but I'm going to pull out just one: How will people in rural areas access these farkakte A.i.-based avatars WHEN THEY STILL CAN'T GET BROADBAND.

So the next step from democrats is: “it is illegal to do this without approvals and in 2029 we will hold all companies that take part criminally liable and seize all their assets to pay for restoration.”

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting." My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I built a law firm to stop it. I started Democracy Docket as another tool in the fight for democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This guy knows he’s gonna lose in November.

When big banks charge 24% or 30% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of "making credit available." They are involved in extortion and loan sharking. Yes, we need to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and stop Wall Street from ripping off Americans.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over,” Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. “In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution.”

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

There will be signs.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

"Every Minnesotan who is upset about the armed goons murdering their neighbors and terrorizing their communities is a paid agent of George Soros who should be imprisoned, and that's my plan for getting Minnesotans to choose me as their next senator."

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

That cardboard box in your home is fueling election denial... A boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country. (Published 2022)

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Sitting President attempts to steal $10 BILLION from taxpayers. The most corrupt regime of our lifetimes. With no close second. And the Hunter hunters are silent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

One thing we have two weeks to do: Debunk Stephen Miller's lies that the invasions have ever been primarily about deporting the worst of the worst. Another thing: Show that w/GOP consent, Trump has SHIFTED govt spending from nice things like VA care (&cancer cures) to pay goons who shoot VA nurses.

I disagree with Axelrod. “Abolish ICE” is not “defund the police.” Defund the police was stupid & wrong. But Americans don’t view ICE as law enforcement. They view ICE as masked thugs who are the antithesis of law enforcement & who have no place here. Abolish ICE is 💯 the correct thing to say & do.

Trump is the kind of guy who tries to steal elections. He’s now presiding over a Justice Department that seems primed to help him try. We cannot permit any scandal of the moment to drive this fundamental reality from our minds.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Hochul: The whole crew has to go. It’s a joke, so they should clean house, kick their asses out of town, say “we’re starting over,” and stop militarizing our streets with people who have literally days or weeks of training

Tell Senate Democrats not to settle for anything less than pulling ICE and CBP out of Minneapolis and the rest of our communities, ending family detentions, ending arrests without warrants, and full cooperation with an independent investigation into the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Blocking today’s vote on the DHS funding bill was an important first step for Senate Democrats. A unified opposition party is how we stop the escalating violence that the regime is carrying out in our communities. Now we need to make sure Democrats keep holding the line to get ICE Out For Good.

Opposition party doing so good that they’re gonna pass a law that exists already and tell us it’s a win 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

For those who believe that a Democratic majority in Congress will be somehow inconsequential, look at what is happening right now without those majorities. Now picture that same movement backed by hearings, investigations, and legislation. Organize. Donate. Register. Vote.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

You can chafe at people calling them the "secret police" or you can insist they stayed masked and anonymous while they take facial-rec photos of citizens. Can't do both

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution. 1st Amendment: peaceful assembly. 2nd Amendment: Alex Pretti was a lawful gun owner. 4th Amendment: unreasonable search and seizure. You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

We Minnesotans are not easing up though.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Look, I'm glad we're having a conversation about the hypocrisy of the legal logic used by America's gun nuts. But can we stop pretending this is a new thing? They have never advocated for universal access to firearms. They only want their team to be armed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

It’s never too late to join the fight. We need you. We’re just glad you’re here now.

these banners are printed with the coolest giant banner system ever, developed by @laborcamp on IG the letters are cut from insulation foam and rolled with paint

“We have been held captive by these men boys who are now deciding they want to dabble in fascism, or at least turn a blind eye to it.” @karaswisher.bsky.social calls out Tim Cook and other CEOs for attending the “Melania” premiere at the WH — and staying silent as violence unfolds in Minneapolis.

“The power of digital is really strong… I don’t understand why these people don’t think cell phones exist in this world.” @karaswisher.bsky.social explains how cellphone video undercuts Trump officials’ claims after the Alex Pretti shooting. Emergency Pivot episode dropping on YouTube shortly.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.
