Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It.

Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

Yep. Taco has sold us out to a government that finances terrorism. Qatar financed the deaths of 2,977 people and we're giving them a military base right in the heart of America.

Qatar isn't just any foreign government. Qatar has financed:

💰 The 9/11 terror attacks
💰 Hamas terrorists

Why are we giving a government that has financed the largest act of terrorism on US soil in history a military base?

"When you're taking fire, you're right on target"

Republicans are afraid of the #NoKings movement. That is why they're attacking it. October 18th is a major turning point; are you going to be there?

MS Kohut @mskohut.bsky.social · 11h

Now they are coming for the #NoKings movement.

October 18 is a major turning point.

We will be BIGGER & STRONGER than ever.

We are warriors of peace and democracy.

We will fight to the DEATH.

I'm tot's sure that the MAGA voters in Idaho will extend a warm and friendly welcome to the Qatari's.

Amirite???

Chris Ahuja for Congress @chrisahuja.bsky.social · 21h

So excited to meet the Qatari Air Force in Idaho. We’re truly making America great again—one foreign military at a time. Meanwhile, no Medicare for All, no universal childcare, and our schools are crumbling.

Whether they invoke the Insurrection Act or not we must assemble for No Kings on Oct. 18th. At this point it's ride or die if we are to save our democracy.

They are keeping congress out of office until October 20. No Kings is October 18. I believe they are gearing up to declare insurrection act and martial law, taking away our right to assemble. I hope I’m wrong. 😑

With historic healthcare cuts and cost increases looming, Republicans chose to force a Trump Shutdown rather than address the healthcare crisis and limit Trump’s lawless manipulation of federal funds....

The DNC has been pressuring Mills to run for months, ever since Platner announced. They don't want progressives as they fear progressives will take over the party like the Tea Party did with the GOP.

I've heard of Lee Greenwood but I truly wish I hadn't.

Nevertheless #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles!!!

ChicagoDomDaddy™️ @chicagodomdaddy.bsky.social · 2d

Mike Johnson hasn’t heard of Bad Bunny and suggests the SB have Lee Greenwood. 50% of Americans haven’t heard of Bad Bunny OR Lee Greenwood.
ALL Americans have heard of the Epstein files. How about a dramatic reading by United States Poet Laureate Arthur Sze? It’s time to come together and heal.

California's got this. We unmasking them and passing Proposition 50. The fascists will not win.

Fal Rising @falrising.bsky.social · 2d

Last year, all 50 governors signed a letter opposing Biden's transfer of Air National Guard troops to Space Force, saying it "disregards gubernatorial authorities."

Now, when it matters most, they are ceding authority and leaving Pritzker, Newsom, and Kotek to fend for themselves.

Voters in California who live more than 50 miles from a USPS regional mail center must mail their VBM ballots AT LEAST ONE DAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY to ensure they're postmarked on time and counted. Ballots mailed on ED will be postmarked the following day, making them ineligible.

Republicans have spent decades trying to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act. Now, Trump is giving them the green light to telling them to finish the job. We have to keep fighting to protect health care for every American.
