Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.

Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.

Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Today is the last day for ACA open enrollment.

Senate Republicans had every chance this week to extend ACA tax credits and chose not to — while families are stretching every dollar just to make ends meet.

Healthcare should never be a luxury in America.

"Trump wants nothing more than to be a wartime president, and if he can't get it in Venezuela or Panama or Greenland, then he's gonna send the military into American cities. He's tried to do it in LA, Portland, Chicago, DC, anywhere he can incite violence so he can feel like a wartime president."

I know people on Bsky know this, but Minneapolis is not a border city. Border patrol has no legal right to be there. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) has no jurisdiction to enforce traffic laws.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Religious freedom means you can worship - or not - as you believe. It does NOT give you the right to use the law to impose your interpretation of your beliefs on others, no matter how sincerely you may believe, nor to use your beliefs as an excuse for trying to control others.

If you’re wondering:

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which includes the Border Patrol, claims authority to operate within 100 air miles of any US border, including land and maritime boundaries.

Border Patrol has no jurisdiction in Minneapolis.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.
