US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024.

The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points.

Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Also they plan to convert a Pep Boys warehouse in Chester, NY into "like an Amazon warehouse, but for people." We're all against it: local Chester supervisor (New York-speak for mayor), Congressman Pat Ryan, and the guv, not to mention we the people.
Disgusting. Scary. MUST BE STOPPED.

As a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence, I cannot describe how much it pains me to hear the Vice President say we owe a debt of gratitude to man who shot a woman in the face and then called her a fucking bitch.

Hey Homan, I'm not infuriated by rhetoric that describes reality. I'm infuriated because of the actual murder, which I saw with my own eyes -- no rhetoric needed -- and by dozens dead, and by nine ICE shootings since September, and because you're terrorizing my sisters and brothers.
“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Impeach Trump. Impeach Noem. Here's the argument to impeach Trump from Chris Murphy:
WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment?

CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Brilliant. Finally someone tackles the protein recommendation straight on, in terms of its land and climate impacts. Most U.S. folks are already overly obsessed with protein at every meal, unaware how much protein is in, for example, rice and beans, or eggs. Read & share!
“If Americans increased their protein intake by just 25%…it would require about 100 million acres of additional ag land each year — an area larger than Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania combined — & increase annual emissions by 100s of millions of tons of CO2e, according to @worldresources.bsky.social.”

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
