So apparently white Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. They call it ICE fishing. 🤣😂

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

The rules of Oregon’s House of Representatives are clear: Representatives cannot accept campaign donations during a legislative session. But as of Friday morning, Republican state Rep. Ed Diehl reported receiving more than $1,300 since Monday. More Republicans appear ready to follow suit.

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

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...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.

The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.

How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Thank you to Aliya for bravely sharing her story.

This kind of conduct by ICE is sickening. And it's exactly what I am fighting to put an end to.

I’m not a constitutional scholar but if a president advocates for a change to election laws that is contrary to the constitution, isn’t that a violation of his oath of office?

It's kinda scary that Trump is now going after the states voting responsibilities!

He wants "feds" (i.e. him/his cult) to be responsible. 😯

He's gotten away with a lot of corruption so far in one year... this would be a crowning achievement though!!
