this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

Is scotus' position that the holocaust (presumably known by an alternate name) would have been fine and dandy if it had just been mass deportation of Europe's Jewish population to... Wherever? Because that was the Nazi's original proposal before the logistics proved too challenging.

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

I think I just cracked it. People are mad about Dems voting to table a pre-doomed impeachment resolution because they think, ultimately, that the real purpose of government is to Post So Good The Other Guy Deactivates.

I can't imagine the mental gymnastics required to persuade yourself to vote against impeachment, especially because it's a symbolic vote! Forget removing a lawless president, you can't even bring yourself to formally rebuke him? Irredeemable

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing. boltsmag.org/missour...

State FORCES city to spend ONE-FOURTH of its money on cops, whether it wants to or needs to. Honestly, if I were St Louis, I’d already be asking Pritzker about how to secede and join Illinois. Such UTTER CONTEMPT for its citizens, and for thinking seriously abt public safety.
