Republicans act like they will never be out of power. Like they will rule this country forever. Like they will never have consequences for their actions and screw the constitution. Change is coming, it always does. We have learned being complacent, and taking our country for granted got us here

Tim Kaine is a NO on the funding bill 💥

Every Democrat should be a NO on funding ICE’s cruelty, family separation, abuse, and disappearances.

SHUT IT DOWN.
NOT ONE MORE DIME.

After a sweeping, Republican-led review of more than 2 million voter registrations, Utah election officials identified just one apparent noncitizen in their voter rolls — who never voted. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

It certainly did not help that so many did not vote. Though I truly feel that with the impossible victories in all swing states and Elon Musk's own admissions, that the election was rigged. They got the results they paid for, through campaign promises to make the elite rich even more wealthy.

That's true. I'm embarrassed for the world to see me as an American and likely judge me to be one of those asshats. It's going to take decades to undo what that bastard has done to us. I no longer travel because I don't want my passport to brand me as "one of those".

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

An ICE memo greenlighting home entry without a judge isn’t enforcement...it’s the executive...writing its OWN damn warrants. That...is the Fourth Amendment being crossed.

Federal judges in Minnesota are REJECTING ICE arrest warrants...because evidence just isn’t there. When courts start saying no...it’s a sign lawlessness is being pushed by the lawless.
