Every day, new fascist shit. We need to hold the trials for these guys in a colosseum so we can all be there.
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

The United States government used armed thugs to kidnap a 5-year-old child off an American street, separate him from his dad, traffic him to another state, and sling him into a scary & unsafe concentration camp.

I am continually befuddled as to why most Congresspeople aren't saying what AOC says almost every day. Thankfully we at least have her.
AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming, and everyone is pretending this is normal.

I just think it's funny that Stephen Miller wants Bill Shatner to have creative control over Star Trek because there was a time when he did and he made a delightfully camp 80s sci-fi romp about three confirmed bachelors and their journey to the center of the galaxy to question God to his face.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded.
This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans.
Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.

DHS was a panicked overreaction to 9/11 that has never shown itself to have any real value over what came before it. It is a sprawling collection of unconstrained bureaucracies based in paranoia that has predictably evolved into thuggery.
DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.
