they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

More @democrats.org are starting to come out saying ICE just needs better training and they’ll stop acting like a dictator’s personal army.
Another person has been killed by ICE in Minneapolis. This violence is beyond disturbing, and it’s the predictable outcome of poorly trained agents carrying out operations designed to intimidate and terrorize our communities.

As most of my followers probably know, you absolutely, positively are under no legal obligation to answer that sort of a question. And do not face criminal penalties if you give them a vague/misleading answer to get them to leave you alone without beating or kidnapping you (legal or not)
ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota
- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota

Now we find out if ICE will follow the judge’s orders and what the Minnesota state government will do if ICE doesn’t follow them.
“A federal judge on Friday barred federal agents in Minneapolis from arresting peaceful protesters, or using nonlethal munitions and crowd control tools against them.”

Our servicemembers and their families deserve better than a Congress that lacks the courage to debate the military actions Trump is taking around the globe.
With the help of the former isolationist, JD Vance, who cast the tie-breaking vote, Republicans in the Senate abdicated again.

Turns out it is much safer to attack the U.S. Capitol than it is to drive away from ICE. Who knew?

- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell
- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota

How many times are Dems going to let the GOP stab them in the back before Dems learn that the GOP can’t be trusted to stay true to their word?
Republicans refused to negotiate a deal on health care until the government reopened.
Now they won’t back our plan to extend Affordable Care Act savings for 3 more years.
You can’t claim you’re for lower costs and oppose the bill to do it.

I was losing hope that @democrats.org would stand up to Trump before the govt shutdown. Then Dems refused to let the GOP raise healthcare costs and it seemed they had finally found the courage to fight. Dems willingly ended the longest shutdown in history over a 'promise' for a future vote.

Someone like JD Vance, who has been on the receiving end of a lot of insinuations, should know to couch his language more carefully.
Anyways, I’ll be here, ready to make a deal to save Americans’ health care and reopen the federal government that Republicans shut down.

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.
Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

New reporting shows that Tom Homan was under internal investigation after accepting $50,000 in cash from the FBI last year.
The case was then dropped after Trump assumed office.
