I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

While ICE terrorizes our communities, private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic are raking it in.

They of course have been some of Trump's biggest donors.

Cashing in on cruelty.

This is very important.

Reclaiming our American flag - whose symbolism has been hijacked by Trump and MAGA - is one of the battles for America’s aspirational democracy.

Actually, reclaiming your flag is often one of the best first strategies against fascists. The US flag has long been abducted by MAGA (and Kid Rock) and now most of its meaning-space is associated with this administration.

Recontextualize it without MAGA. Detach it from Trump.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Trump’s ICE is ramming down doors without warrants in violation of the 4th Amendment. Do Republicans really want to green light this behavior & allow ICE to do the same to their own constituents?

Tomorrow, I’ll be in Minneapolis-Saint Paul demanding oversight and accountability.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:
