For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.
Never reactivate it.
BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security shuts down as the White House and Democratic leaders continue to discuss changes to U.S. immigration enforcement.

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.

Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.

But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

Part 2 - the Speech

“Imagine that you see the wretched strangers…
their babies at their backs…
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation.”

Then the turn of the blade:

If you were forced from your home,
would you be pleased to find
“a nation of such barbarians?”

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

They are now arresting reporters who honestly and vigorously call out their abuses. Yup, we reach a tipping point.

This is rejection. And you can’t spin numbers this bad.

But Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026, so Dems need to hang his policies around every Republican’s neck and make them own every single one.

One solution. Blue wave at midterms, vote every magass out, and start impeachment proceedings accordingly

I think it is telling that Conman has to sell this to the Faux News faithful, BEFORE alerting congress

Not ok. Impeachable offense. And now he'd like people to stop talking about "oh that's unconstitutional." Where is our elected Congress?

Two things can be true at same time. Steelers didn't play well enough to beat Browns, AND that call on 4th at the end was wrong and egregious, and ended the game early. Period.

How long before Trump (or his despicable henchmen/women) says that the attack in Australia is a "war on Christmas and Christians?" Over/under is 12 hrs

Trumplethinskin creates his own version of reality & then expects us to believe it as if we don't have eyes, ears or functioning brains.

Trump gets a jet and a grand ballroom, DHS gets private planes, and we all get 3 pencils and no healthcare. Merry Christmas

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?

Your boss brags about avoiding-- as many years as possible-- paying the IRS a dime on his billionaire cash-pile.

But please do tell us about all the grifters ripping the US treasury off for that sweet, sweet bounty of...food stamps.
Brooke Rollins on why the Trump administration is cracking down on food stamps: "We're really opening up the market here, wanting to make sure that those who are receiving this *supplemental* nutrition benefit -- it was never meant for the long term -- are really those who need it."
