Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.
But 5 minutes later….

This line from Smashing Pumpkins, "despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage", has never resonated more. I don't even know how to hold this livid-terror-rage-righteous-fire.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Even though there's currently single digit weather in parts of Texas, ICE refuses to turn on the heat in the Alvarado Texas facility. We've watched in years past when the lack of heat has killed residents of Texas who are without power, We have to demand that ICE turn on the heat in this facility!

Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon decided not to have the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division open an investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. A step federal civil rights prosecutors have always taken in officer-involved killings.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

As our nonprofits and foundations are beng hit hard, maintaining hope can be difficult - but also a lesson in the power of resilience. Extremely grateful for this week's webinars from Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and @annieecaseyfdn.bsky.social and every person in the trenches for our kids.

While registering for this I had to agree to “not engage with counter-protestors”. …..In related news, we’re about to see how much I’ve grown in the “maturity and self-restraint” department.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
