Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.
Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.

Every single person doing ICE watch in Minnesota is doing it knowing that they’re putting their bodies and lives on the line and every ICE agent and cop would shoot at their shadow if it startled them. That’s not professionalism, that’s being a coward.

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.
We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

Caving again showed the Republicans what they can get away with. They were worried for a moment they might face consequences because they couldn't spin that narrative, but Dem leadership basically showed they won't fight them on anything enough for that to be an issue

Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

It boggles my mind news outlets are parroting Trump's obvious lie that this is a crackdown on crime. That's not what this is or has been. It's a one-sided war to consolidate power, and he's slowly escalating the use of force as he feels he can get away with it. Pretending it isn't only helps him
