Always remember that Trump NEVER won a majority of the vote in three consecutive elections, despite interference from Russia and support from the oligarchy. MAGA is the minority!

Trump says he's powerless to bring back an immigrant his administration deported to El Salvador, defying a court order. This is nonsense.
1) The US sent him there.
2) Trump is (illegally) paying El Salvador to imprison people.
3) Trump bullies world leaders all of the time, unless they're dictators

ICE has arrested another legal immigrant for exercising their First Amendment right to protest. This is a full-frontal assault on free speech. These Gestapo-like tactics must be forcefully condemned and challenged in court.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
