PSA: the heinous shit ICE and Trump are doing is not a Minneapolis problem or a Minnesota problem or a Chicago or Portland problem or a big city or blue state problem. It is an **AMERICAN PROBLEM**. If you are an American, wherever you live, this is happening to you too. Get off your ass.

Hey guys. So. What's the plan for dropping the Wasserman Agency? I love you guys, but your silence on the matter can only be interpreted as consent. Neutrality on these issues no longer exists.

A @repandrade40.bsky.social canvasser stopped by the house just now. I've voted for Jaime as long as I've lived in his district, and intend to do so again. Serendipitously, we spent more time talking about @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social, whom thy guy hadn't heard of. So I told him! VOTE FOR KEVIN!

Don't let any Senate "wins" to avoid shutting down the government by only temporarily funding DHS fool you. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries still need to go. They are not the people for this moment. Send 'em packing with Durbin.
