More grifting for his family and friends.

New report by @wired.com describes detailed plans by DHS & ICE to create a 24/7 deportation system in Texas— part of a larger for-profit network that will gradually transition ICE into a “manager”with local law enforcement federalized & paid for doing the dirty work.🧵

I’ve read that Lincoln himself was very into marble and gold from his log cabin upbringing.

Or was it marbles that glowed?

The official record is unclear.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Today’s Halloween but It’s been Halloween every day since 1/20. PTSD since 2016 & despite 4 yr lull I am triggered by any orange face with word salad spewing forth. I’m frightened daily by the evil acts to destroy & dismantle democracy-figuratively & literally. Et & folo if you get it.

Some people talk about coattails that flow down from the top of the ticket. But we know that one of the reasons we got so close to winning in 2018 was because of the incredible candidates down ballot who were pushing votes and power up all the way to the top.

New from me: Emmanuel Macron delivered remarks in Germany recently that I think could serve as a template for an outside-the-box, ambitious political figure. But timing and breaking with prevailing orthodoxy would be critical. www.offmessage.net/p/defiant-re...

President Trump's new national security memo aims to target activists and advocacy organizations that he perceives as political opponents.

States and cities must protect sensitive data that could be used by the Trump administration to identify and go after these nonprofits and advocates.

How Governors and Mayors Can Protect Nonprofits from Trump's NSPM-7 | ACLU

President Trump’s new directive, NSPM-7, targets charities and advocacy groups under the guise of national security. State governors and local mayors can protect them by refusing to cooperate with politically motivated federal investigations.

My kingdom for a liberal politician with a steel spine who can look into the darkness without being seduced by it

We know Dems think war is icky and have completely acquiesced to the idea that the GOP = law and order.

What if, instead, you faced reality, grabbed some sack and lived your values??

Look at this fucking shit. In Chicago the "elite" CT unit of the USBP detained (a violent assault resulting in 6 broken ribs) a 67yo US citizen driving home from his morning run, then tear gassed a Halloween party with kids in attendance. There's no reforming this. It's unamerican and unacceptable
