Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Teresa Leger Fernandez is a hard NO on today’s ICE funding bill. 👏👏👏
No more blank checks for an agency running a nationwide terror campaign with zero accountability.

As the bill moves to the Senate, Democrats have a responsibility to draw a line. Putting actual guardrails on ICE is the bare minimum here. Allowing Trump’s brutal secret police force to operate with essentially a blank check is unacceptable.

You should care that kids, seniors & disabled people can eat. But even if you don’t, grocers have been swallowing tariff costs for months. SNAP keeps them afloat with billions in steady spending. Cut it and prices spike while we all fight for what’s left on the shelves.

It’s kids with disabilities who will suffer.

The Texas National Guard should be used to help Texans. But Governor Abbott has surrendered again to Trump who is weaponizing our Guard in Oregon, Illinois and elsewhere. Texans are rejecting this authoritarian move and so should Congress.

"I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk, April 2023

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

And Trump is defunding the police.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago.
8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.
And yet Trump is sending troops here.

It was ruled that Florida's ban on books that "describe sexual conduct" is too broad.
