Sharing this comment from an article on Rs fundraising advantage over Ds, about how Harris greatly outspent Trump to no avail.

I used to donate a lot to Dems, but between spending stupidly and legislating stupidly I just can’t justify it to myself.

“Donald Trump has 99 problems going into the midterms,” one Democratic strategist said. “But money ain’t one.”

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."

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Huge news! We officially outraised the incumbent and the entire rest of the field in the last quarter. The momentum is on our side and we couldn’t do this without you. THANK YOU!

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“This shouldn’t break anything, but FYI”
Down the hall, down the stairs, around by the restrooms

Nobody was ever done dirtier than Rumplestiltskin

- Saved woman from murderous husband by giving her gold
- She never even asks his name
- Tries to rescue child from dangerous family
- Everybody makes fun of him and chases him out of town

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.

6 years old.

She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Been thinking about Noem’s dog

She killed it because it was “dangerous and untrainable”

Under her, ICE is dangerous and untrained, she cares not

If she killed a good dog in cold blood and lied about why, even learned that lying works, that pretty much tracks exactly with her current behavior

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.

When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL

I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.

The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.
