There was this bully in our neighborhood name Johnny Sabo, & for payback, we took a pencil box, wrote “KITE KIT” on it, & glued it shut. After trying to open it for an hour, he got pissed and told us we couldn’t be a member of his lean-to shithole clubhouse in his side yard. This reminds me of that.

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.
That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
