"Gov Scott says it’s still unclear whether Tuesday's raid marks a shift in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown." If it is a "shift" Scott offered no plan on how deal with it. Phil seems happy to wait and see, then wait and see even a little longer. www.wcax.com/2025/04/24/p...

The Dems don’t need to move more center. That’s where they ARE. The party needs to be WAY MORE PROGRESSIVE!! PERIOD. We have a FEW wonderful progressive leaders sprinkled in with a horde of NEOLIBS. THAT is the DEM machine. THAT got us HERE. @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social

Obama,Clinton,Biden and now former AP Al Gore have each denounced the Trump administration in separate comments. No president has explicitly named Trump in their remarks. And none focused on civil rights abuses. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sen Welch did something! Will Gov Scott point out that thanks to Vermont's agreeable relationship with ICE Welch didn't even have to leave the state to visit those the agency have kidnapped ? www.wcax.com/2025/04/22/p...

Just saying and doing things you actually believe rather than playing 4-D chess is an underrated political strategy.

"I'm proud to stand and talk.." Schumer with hands in his pockets, slightly slumped over presents a formidable leadership figure for Democrats coming as it does on the heels of his Senate budget bill surrender.

Peter Stern was born in Nuremberg in 1936, a German Jew. His father died in the Holocaust; he and his brother somehow survived Bergen-Belsen. Today he's protesting what's happening in America. "I came to say that something as nasty as that can happen again, and it can, without me saying something."

my favorite Bible story is probably the one where Jesus disappears an innocent person into a slave-labor gulag and then jets off for a weekend of golf at Galilee-a-Lago

Black Mirror pitch: POTUS destroys democracy in 90 days. Everyone watches it happen on their phones. The opposition party leaders are 85 years old and post "Hey, stop" once a day. Toiletries are locked behind glass. An evil online bookstore sends Katy Perry into space for feminism. [fin]

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE
