Ilhan Omar: "He's always been a racist, bigot, xenophobic, & Islamophobic. We know that he called African nations 'shit holes' during his first administration ... most of us are citizens. We love that Minnesota has welcomed us ... we are going to be here regardless of what the president has to say."

Buying healthcare generally is a lot like buying vegetables.
Well, one key difference is sometimes the veggies you want cost 15X your household income. Oh and if you can’t afford them, you die.

A million times spot on.
unilaterally demolishing the “People’s House” and replacing it with a faux Palace of Versailles named after himself is base and obscene in such an obvious way
A picture worth 1,000 votes? The photos of a demolished White House wing and landscape could be breaking through in ways other things haven’t. An iconic part of U.S. history razed to build a ballroom for the hugely rich? Nothing could be more attention-getting or less subtle, in words or visuals.
My wife’s (in some cases three-time) trump voting relatives have started mentioning the ballroom to me, negatively; anecdata but I’d like to see some high quality polling. I think it’s a mistake by certain elite elected Dems to think this story isn’t breaking thru

I”d rather see the ICE guys deported than the people they’re targeting. Although tbh I’d rather not see anyone deported. Great job by the community bystanders
Heroes.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

"Kavanaugh Stop"
Another Kavanaugh stop.
ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen just for filming—knocking her unconscious.
"Agents took her to a side alley, beat her up, then called an ambulance," witness said.
"Then they kidnapped her from the hospital—without a formal discharge—and took her to Downtown LA Detention Center."

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics.
This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.

Since my reply I've seen a video of CK saying Biden should be given the death penalty for crimes against America. So unless it's AI, I stand corrected. Btw..."practicing politics the right way"
I've researched this and don't think it's true

If you concede that Tyler Robinson has "unleashed" something, then you will make him feel very fulfilled and accomplished
My heart goes out to her, but this is an irresponsible thing to say. Who are the “evildoers” who killed her husband? Who is the “they?” A 22yr old man from Utah shot & killed her husband. We don’t yet know why. Anyone using “they,” as in they” killed Charlie, is inciting division & hate. It’s wrong.

Opponents of President Trump's D.C. crackdown are embracing impromptu demonstrations, including ringing bells in the masked faces of law enforcement, warning drivers about ICE checkpoints and recording arrest to build consensus — and momentum.
Resistance to Trump’s D.C. crackdown is taking many forms
Residents want solutions to crime, but many who live here say aggressive federal law enforcement tactics threaten civil rights and instill a sense of fear, not safety.
