Really need to stress this bc I am seeing people spiral out with all kinds of scenarios which will not apply unless this is still law when kids who are now 4 months of age are much older--and there are a lot of talented people getting started today in working very hard to be sure that it won't be

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Two more overnight wins: my team successfully removed a scheme from the Republican bill to end background checks and registrations for easily-concealed guns and silencers. There’s no limit to the awful stuff they crammed into this bill.

when people vote for a guy who had dinner with two nazis, called white supremacists "very fine people," and promises to hunt down immigrants en masse, it's because of economic anxiety. when they vote for a guy who wants to make rent and food more affordable, it's because they are anti-semitic.

I also think a lot of people had an idea of what an undocumented immigrant was and it wasn't the owner of their favorite restaurant or their dry cleaner or their little league coach. For safety, even before this, people don't talk about their status

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.

Over the past few months, there have been chronic reports of individuals posing as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, in many cases using these guises to commit unlawful acts.

A big reason there are now ⬆️ 130 police alternatives nationwide is a decades-long model to emulate — CAHOOTS. Or there was. In this @thenation.com essay, I explore why CAHOOTS collapsed & what’s ahead, including a CAHOOTS offspring program, Portland Street Response, that’s getting stronger …

If Aaron, who is the most reasonable, measured person on social media and who I know IRL, get this mad, you should too. This decision is in contravention of every American ideal, law, and policy, and it violates every sense of morality and decency.

I just found out that Toothless the Dragon according to the artists that created him, is based on about 75% black panther, and 25% mix of dog, salamander, bats, etc. which means, of course, he is our first mainstream representation of a Mexican dragon.

At some point, Republicans are going to learn what the Department of Energy does, right? Like... they have to learn at some point that it runs nuclear reactors and doesn't operate oil fields or whatever.

FWIW, every MAGA-connected account on FB that I’ve seen today has used this exact phrase “sleeper cells” and they’ve ascribed responsibility for them to Biden’s immigration policy. It should be fairly obvious what the PR strategy is here. Any blowback the US might experience is Biden’s fault.

I think it’s more they’re going to try to make you feel insane for thinking we’re at war. They’ll ignore questions and downplay concerns. They’ll try to strong arm you into accepting nothing happened and if anything did happen nothing actually happened.

Republicans supported mask bans when they perceived it to be criminals (aka Black people) wearing them but now it's ok for ICE to kidnap people with their faces covered.

Yes I totally agree. I think it helps people believe the fantasy that she was ‘kept alive’ so her baby could get a few more weeks in the womb, when truly they manipulated her dead body so that they could keep an 8 week pregnancy progressing.

If ICE can make warrantless arrests (they can & are), then anyone (well, anyone an ICE officer thinks doesn't look American) needs to carry their passports at all times, or risk wrongful arrest & potential imprisonment (until your can be release secured). How is this acceptable in America?

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.
