The felon/insurrectionist who raped children said his power is constrained only by “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me. I don’t need international law,” brushing aside checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world

PSA for mail-in voters.
The US Postal Service announced just before Christmas that it may not postmark mail on the the same day it's received. This rule could make voting by mail harder in states that count ballots that arrive after Election Day but are postmarked on time.
2026 is a BIG election year, so this is a BFD.

The U.S. Postal Service has adopted a new rule that could create doubt about whether some ballots mailed by voters by Election Day will receive postmarks in time to be counted.

Abolish, investigate, prosecute
In the meantime all these people should be terrified to show their faces in public should people learn where they work

Abolish ICE is not only a perfectly mainstream moderate position, it is indefensible to hold any other position at all

Feel helpless? Me too.
One thing you can do right this moment is call your local reps and demand that they support the impeachment of Kristi Noem and legislation to limit (or ideally, ABOLISH) ICE.
And don't tell me your rep doesn't care. The GOP is scared shitless of midterms right now.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Do not do this.
I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

Minnesota friends: a handy call script below.
Out of State friends call *your own elected officials* about ICE actions as well.
Local, State and Federal level ALL matter. Many times state and local matter MORE than Federal!

Boosting for Gin and hoping we can do some good today and help her cover January's rent. Let's be a light.
Rent is my biggest worry and homelessness my biggest fear. I have been homeless in the past, that experience will never leave me or my anxious heart. If we could get rent paid this week, it would bring so much relief and safety.
$2829 to go now! Just $1329 would secure rent until I start getting regular paychecks again at the end of January. That would be a HUGE relief.
Thank you so much for helping!
