“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔 (From @crindivisible.bsky.social )

Researchers have found that 6 of 10 abortion restrictions — bans on Medicaid funding for abortion, mandated waiting periods, 2nd-trimester abortion bans, ACA marketplace insurance coverage bans, biased counseling laws, and ultrasound requirements — were linked to higher rates of maternal mortality.

@jakubkrupa.bsky.social does it again.

Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations. But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips. No compromise.

What could possibly go wrong with progressives rejecting everyone but their own personal ideal candidates? Running mediocre candidates out of ignorance about Americans’ appetite for change got us here, but so did the willingness to sound like fools painting someone like Senator Kelly as mediocre.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

The USA now has CONCENTRATION CAMPS The USA is torturing, starving, and killing adults and CHILDREN in these CONCENTRATION CAMPS Sick Disgusting Abhorrent WHAT HAPPENED TO NEVER AGAIN

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Mathematician Sofya Kovalevskaya was the first woman to: + Earn a doctorate in #mathematics (in the modern sense) + Be appointed to a full professorship in mathematics She was also one of the first women to work for a scientific journal as an editor. She died #OTD in 1891. #WomenInSTEM

They not only failed to get an indictment, they failed to get a single grand juror’s vote. It’s probable that this has never happened before. Likely because the DOJ has never sent hack political appointees to attempt to get indictments on sitting Congress members over protected speech before.

I need journalists to come together and agree that any chance they get, they will tell Stephen Miller he should smile more.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

This says it and it’s exactly what it is….

Legislator wants to legislate, while Mike Johnson is determined to play every game possible to prevent the House from interfering with the imperial presidency he serves.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

SWALWELL: You said you wanted to see a deportation process that was 'like Amazon Prime but with human beings.' How many times has Amazon Prime shot a mom 3 times in the face? LYONS: None SWALWELL: How many times has Amazon Prime shot a nurse 10 times in the back? LYONS: None

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..." kfoxtv.com/news/local/n...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Yes, FBI? I’m calling to report a murder.

I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over: All we had to do was believe the women. There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

#Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Movie review from Guardian on Melania.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Larry Krasner's statement: "We are a very substantial tool against what I consider to be a pretty clear attempt to normalize fascism and to overthrow democracy in the United States."

Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach': —L. Krasner in Philly —J. Creuzot in Dallas —M. Moriarty in Minneapolis —L. Conover in Tucson —S. Descano in Fairfax (VA) —R. Fatehi in Norfolk (VA) —S. Morales in Portsmouth (VA) —P. Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington (VA)

Another minute, another congressperson using their position to enrich themselves while not ever doing anything to serve the people they work for.

I’ve simply run out of superlatives to discuss anything these people do. I hope I’m around long enough to see how the scholars break it all down. Also hoping not to see the demise or further degradation of academic freedom and the integrity of research.

@sevier.io hello, We have a group in DC that is willing to travel to support actions elsewhere but we want to coordinate with local orgs. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks

Well isn’t that a damn shame. Consequences for unmatched incompetence. Ha ha🐸 www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

So. To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar. Not defunded. Not trained and restrained. ABOLISHED. Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It is once again painfully, tragically obvious that the general public has not yet come to grips with the fact that THEY DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK. THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR STRONG WORDS. AND THEY DON’T CARE WHAT THE LAW IS. They are The Law. They are The State.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Content warning. ICE fascists pistol whip a person, pile on him 5-1, and then murder him in broad daylight. Do not believe a word of the story from ICE or DHS. This is a fascist regime and they will lie. We must abolish and prosecute ICE. This cannot go on. youtube.com/shorts/2IqIn...

And thanks to him and his similarly cognitively inadequate ilk, we also have a much, much more detailed database of the worst of the worst, because their malevolent corn chip of a leader leaves only rancid crumbs as potential successors. These guys are going to HATE prison.
