Have you heard the radio commercial by Kristi Noem? I was just 😱. Maybe being in a blue state has shielded me from some of this, but @democrats.org you need to have your own commercials to counteract this stuff now! @kenmartin.bsky.social

Feels like we aren’t too far away from Stalin-style internal passports. Got to keep the kulaks in check.
A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

Honestly, I can't anymore with the replies from the Senators. "I too am concerned about libraries.... I worked on the library money being appropriated when President Biden signed it into law..." DO SOMETHING MORE THAN BEING CONCERNED ffs.

If Trump has not requested that Garcia be returned to the United States, then an impeachable offense has taken place… the open defiance of a court order.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.
what must be understood is that once *some* people can be declared legally dead because they are undocumented, *any* people can be declared legally dead because … well for anything
Exclusive: Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.

Coming back to this. It's not just the biggest tax hike in modern history. It was carried out unilaterally by the President (with no approval by Congress), & it's blatantly illegal.
This needs to be a central part of Democratic messaging. It's King George III shit. Democrats need to act like it.

A Senate confirmation hearing for three nominees to assume leadership posts at the Department of Veterans Affairs was derailed Tuesday after Sen. Ruben Gallego announced his intention to block a vote on the Senate floor unless the VA reconsiders a plan to fire 83,000 workers.
