In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.

There’s only one conclusion that can be reached from the response from ICE in Broadview and it is that they are running scared.
They know that they are despised. They know that those on the ground will not quit speaking up for freedom. They have watched as people they gassed and shot at came back.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

This is happening right outside of Chicago.
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

To my critics who say that my position urging Democratic governors to redrawing maps is simply a race to the bottom, I say this:
The only thing Donald Trump understand is overwhelming force. We shouldn't bring knives to a gun fight, we should be missiles. Unilateral disarmament is not an option.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

Dems should fight on every front.
If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.
We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.
Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

What happened to Senator Padilla is an escalation of this administration’s intimidation tactics.
Fire the civil service.
Threaten to imprison judges.
Handcuff senators who ask questions.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

The person who runs the Libs of TikTok account says she "arrested some criminal illegal aliens" with Kristi Noem this morning in Arizona and promises some "exclusive" social media content "coming soon."
She's also wearing a badge in this picture.
