Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

My hometown showing up in Florida, brought a tear to my eye. And we are a quiet ass town, mostly a place where old folks go to retire.

Worth noting: There are two prominent Jewish candidates in the NYC mayoral election, Brad Lander and Scott Stringer. Neither of them are the ones leaning hard into "Mamdani is a scary Muslim dude." In fact, one of them went so far as to endorse Mamdani as #2.

Trump’s DEI Purge Is Erasing Civil Rights History Across the South

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

Trump has wanted a police state with himself sitting at the top as its undisputed boss since his first administration. The standoff in L.A. shows how truly eager he is to turn America’s vast warmaking powers inward on his domestic foes and critics. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Only gonna say this once (who am I kidding, I'll probably have to say it a dozen times), that stupid Trump stunt with the specially selected soldiers clapping along to his bullshit remarks does not in any way represent the military officially throwing in with Trump on an authoritarian takeover.

Yes! It is very baffling to me that people seem to think there is a debate over the efficacy of masks. There isn't! Masks work at the individual level to prevent the spread of COVID. There's a debate about mask mandates, the efficacy of which mostly comes down to compliance.

So many people have lived in this country and been great citizens. Raised families. Started businesses. But called criminals for overstaying a work visa? We need a pathway to citizenship for these people. They are our friends and neighbors.

This is what they want. This is why they are publicly going after people right before a weekend dinner rush. They are trying to cause violence to justify martial law. Keep resisting peacefully. Keep shaming them. open.substack.com/pub/jennbudd...

How many more disgusting acts like this have to happen until the lid blows off & they have actual death on their hands? To treat mothers, sisters, daughters, sons, children & families with this level of inhumanity is beyond comprehension. They’re non-violent families being ripped apart #Resistance

Blue states governors and Democratic mayors and councils need to mobilize their own National Guard units and police departments to protect residents from armed, masked federal agents. If they don't trust their Guard or law enforcement leaders to do that, then they need to remove them.

I downloaded a free trial of the Citizen app because I wanted to know why there'd been a million cops on my block (guy barricaded himself in a weed store, nothing serious happened) and I got a glimpse into the mind of a regular user and if I took it seriously, I'd be terrified literally all the time

It is fascinating how whenever anything has a leftist bent to it, be it a political party or website or television or radio station, they are always told that they must invite and applaud everyone else to find prosperity, while rightwing versions of those things grow by explicitly doing the opposite

ICE attacks a US citizen, disregards his REAL ID, roughs him up, humiliates him, lies about him, and arrests him. If you like this kind of thing, you're going to get a 500% increase when Congress passes the Papers Please Police State Act that just passed the House.

As a Floridian, the most doomerizing thing for me is just how much cognitive dissonance people have around climate change. Like people who've lived here their whole lives would rather believe hurricanes are made by a government machine, because then it can be switched off.
