Annoyed that my taxpayer dollars are being used to occupy Minneapolis, steal oil in Venezuela, start a war to take over Greenland, antagonize basically every country in the world, and redact the epstein files.

Yup.

We're not Nazi Germany yet, so maybe chill and organize instead.
Hell no, it's not over
We still have rights. Time to use them.

Please support Aaron and his vital work. He provides a resource to all of us in the pro-democracy movement.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The metaphor of distance here maybe needs a derivative. It seems like we're closer to fascism now (in that the government is acting more fascist) but also less likely to reach it. This last year moved us closer to the fascists' desired destination but also sapped the momentum needed to reach it.

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.

The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.
Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.

Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.

Now get off my lawn.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

I want to connect the dots.

The rush to call Renee Good a terrorist, the rewriting of Jan 6th - it's all part of Trump's campaign to use violence to protect his power.

A world in which our leader gets to shoot or attack us if we oppose him - that's a dystopia we cannot permit.

Schiff: I hope Minnesota will insist on being part of that investigation. You certainly cannot trust Kristi Noem—or anything she says or does. Sadly, you also can’t trust an FBI investigation led by Kash Patel. Minnesota needs to have its own role in that investigation

A woman was shot dead on camera and Trump’s ICE is launching a full scale coverup. Nobody is above the law. Federal agents who break the law in Minnesota, Oregon or anywhere else, must be prosecuted.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

I’m joining Rep. @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and will use every lever available to end the terror ICE has unleashed on our communities.

Stay loud.

Five Republicans joined with Senate Democrats today to take a step forward in checking President Trump's unlawful actions in Venezuela - but we need everyone to stand up and use your voice to demand the Senate assert our Constitutional authority over the use of military force.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.

Update: While this Senate appropriations bill will not cut funding or staffing from parks, it does strip key language affirming that national parks must remain federal lands. This removes an important guardrail preventing the selloff of national parks. www.npca.org/articles/112...
Senate Rejects Devastating National Park Funding and Staffing Cuts but Leaves Door Open to Future Threats
“NPCA and park advocates across the country have been sounding the alarm on the need for park funding and staffing for months, and Congress listened." - Theresa Pierno, NPCA's President and CEO

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

Hell yeah. If you have a Dem rep or senator who isn’t saying this, ask them why not. Dems are in the minority but Repubs will need Dem votes for a new funding bill at the end of the month. Schumer won’t lead, but he will follow with sufficient pressure from his caucus.
The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.”

They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity.

I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.
