So, I’m watching Univision because I want to learn more Spanish, and a commercial comes on urgently advertising immigration law services to help people avoid deportation. “CALL ME NOW!” And I can’t help but wonder, are these law firms profiting on Trump’s terror campaign? 🧐

The banality of he Trump regime’s evil is sickening. The intentional neglect kills people out of utter disrespect for basic humanity.
Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.
This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

So, now Trump openly says that Obeying the Law and Upholding the Constitution is "sedition".
He clearly wants the USA to be a mafia where the only requirement is loyalty to the boss and unconditional obedience.

Trump reposted a call, from a Nazi account, to hang his opposition, also declares that an "example must be set" for anyone that encourages the military to not follow illegal orders e.g. shooting or massacring civilians.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

12 days of work in 103 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Glad to see @maxboot.bsky.social focusing on Alvin Holsey. Rep Adam Smith told me that GOPers on Armed Services Committee are declining to press for Holsey's testimony.
“We need to hear: Did he quit because he believed he was being given illegal orders?” Smith says.

I try to resist the temptation to say it because it doesn't help, but yeah.
Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."
