Get you a Congresswoman who’s ten toes down to Abolish ICE.

Check out this list from @alexip718.com and demand your entire federal delegation get in the green.

Fun fact this photo that always goes around is from the absolutely baller film about the assassination called Operacion Ogro (79) and thats a miniature of the car being blasted over a scale model! This is an official Basque Space Program fan account
in 1973, basque separatists killed spain’s fascist prime minister with a bomb so powerful it launched the car he was in clear over a five story building. he survived the initial attack but died in the hospital

I cannot imagine being so far removed from the reality of public sentiment that I would acknowledge federal agents "murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences" in the first sentence and then beg them to "work with us" just two sentences later.
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.

I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.

The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.

I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.

The @democrats.org needs to crack down on these fundraising vendors and demand that @actblueorg.bsky.social remove them from their platform. These messages are made in the name of the party whether or not the top brass approves, so they need to take responsibility for it.
This is fucking gross

We're mourning yet again in Minnesota — and struggling to square the gut-churning video of Alex Pretti's final moments with official accounts.

I'm teaching techniques of neutralization this term, so I made this quick slide on the DHS statement. Share if it's useful. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com shut down every single fucking thing in the US Senate until ICE leaves our state. No unanimous consent for anything. No funding for anything. Shut it down.

Pete is from here and even he wants to kill us all. When will anyone in Minnesota leadership do anything to save us?
Our government is in the hands of people who celebrate the murder of Americans.

Oh monstrous.

the original 1796 succession act had a provision for a special election in the event of a double vacancy
It just now strikes me that the United States, unlike every other democracy in the world, has never ever ever had an early presidential election. This seems like a problem? Like you need to have an institutionalized path for designating an entire administration illegitimate and voting for a new one?

it occurs to me that it may have been a tactical mistake to install a notoriously unpleasant airhead personally hated by the rest of the media class as the de facto minister of state propaganda at CBS
years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

NJ-11 candidate Analilia Mejia released a statement torching both House leadership for failing to whip and the 7 traitors for actually voting for it, if you're in the district and still undecided
I have yet to see any of the House Dems who voted against DHS funding condemn their 7 colleagues who voted for it, or call out leadership for failing to whip up a unified front of opposition.

Wael Tarabishi, the last person I wrote about for the Star-Telegram, died on Friday.

Wael’s health declined rapidly after his father and primary caretaker, Maher, was detained by ICE last fall.

The Tarabishi family believes that if Maher had not been arrested, Wael would still be alive. I do too.
new: I wrote about Wael Tarabishi, a 30-year-old man with a rare genetic disorder, his father, Maher, who has spent the last 25 years keeping him alive, and the routine immigration appointment that led to ICE detaining his dad indefinitely.

Also, I wrote about Dragon Ball Z. Stay with me. (🎁 link)
