Mainstream media is doing a woefully inadequate job of highlighting the horrors ICE is committing across the USA. My hunch is that is by design.

Having exausted all other options — having seen all other defenses fail — all our hopes for being rescued from one of the most deranged and stupid national leaders in history now rest with the highest and final authority in this country: the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Killing off our research facilities and talent pipelines is perhaps the biggest, dumbest self-own in American history.

A 10-year-old U.S. citizen girl recovering from brain cancer, was detained at an immigration checkpoint while heading to an emergency medical checkup and promptly deported. Thanks to Trump and Musk. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

MORE OF THIS. Thank you @billkeating.bsky.social. This is the energy we want from Democratic leaders right now. Please stop with the offensively obtuse compliance to "decorum" when engaging these ghouls who only know cowardice and cruelty.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System. This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine. Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

Noam Chomsky: "Social Security is actually in pretty good shape despite what everybody screams about. But if you can defund it, it won't be in good shape.[...]That’s the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital."

musk illegally seized control of the treasury and now wants to end social security and medicare and plunge tens of millions of americans into destitution so that we won’t go “bankrupt,” a thing that practically-speaking can’t happen

Have to say, Man United’s new stadium plans look impossibly far-fetched. As if they’re capable of beating anyone 3-0

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

I would like to see statements from the presiding officers of the denomination, from bishops, from cardinal rectors, from seminary professors, statements demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil

Nothing justifies disappearing a person. History is riddled with those who thought their proximity to power protected them until it didn’t. Those justifying Khalil’s disappearance are traitors to our country. I don’t say this lightly, and I mean it sincerely.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Wild that the @democrats.org decided to let Slotkin praise Reagan conservatism in the response to the SOTU last night. Cool. Voters will surely be inspired by your data politics strategy.
