Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

We are currently 41 weeks into the year 2025.

And the U.S. House of Representatives has been out of session for 13 of those 41 weeks (32% of the year).

House Republicans have been out of session for an additional 3 weeks on top of that, totaling an absence for 16 of the 41 weeks (39% of the year).

I live in Portland and I never thought that we would have to go this far. I can't say I'm disappointed in any way. People are showing us the way to embarrass fascist Jack booted thugs and surprise surprise...

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Hats off to the Nobel Prize committee for having the good sense and backbone to resist the bullying and embarrassing self promotion from the narcissistic psychopath and probably the only person to self advocate for the honor.
He’ll now spend the next year showing you why you made the right choice.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Guys,

Apparently ICE has created a fake stop ICE app. Sounds like something Kristi Noem would approve. Don't be fooled.

Make your plans to attend a #NoKings event on Saturday, October 18th. Millions of us are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.

Please join in! You'll see me at one of the events.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Even after she's released I would hope to see Tish James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social use her well-known legal badassery and fearlessness to turn around and send a spate of lawsuits straight up Trump's ass.

No Kings
October 18th!

First they came books!
Then they came for anyone who wasn’t white or Christian.
Then they came for Science and Universities.
Then they came for anyone deemed “enemies” of the President.
Then they came for Protesters and Free Speech.
Wake up!
America is Nazi Germany!

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.
