ICE isn’t letting the government shutdown stop it from tearing apart communities.

So FPF won’t let a shutdown stop us from suing to force transparency.

Our latest FOIA suit gets at the heart of ICE’s efforts to restrict congressional access to its detention centers.

The legislation the House and Senate Republicans just voted on will have your tax dollars go to corrupt politicians conspiring to overturn an election. The corruption is staggering. Your healthcare costs, household expenses, & ability to make ends meet go up while Republicans enrich themselves.

Are you paying attention? MAGA Republicans are stealing from you! The vote to reopen the government includes a multi-million dollar payoff a QUID PRO QUO to 8 senator conspirators who colluded with Trump during the January 6th insurrection.

Can we just skip the next few years too and celebrate Christmas 2028?
I used to be a holiday purist and wouldn’t do Christmas stuff until after thanksgiving, but 2025 has been so freaking tough, that I am starting the joy early. Plus Medium Man still wanting to cuddle with mommy will make me do pretty much anything lol

Relatives fear the move is part of ‘the same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge

Americans are enraged, and they want fighters: an opposition party that communicates that they share and understand that rage. The Senate Democrats showed Sunday that they still don’t get that, and it’s not clear that some of them ever will. trib.al/mZfi6Qw

Here they are, the Senators that can sleep at night with their Cadillac healthcare plan while 42 million Americans are denied AFFORDABLE healthcare.

Fetterman we expect, but @kaine.senate.gov we supported him for VP!
He’s the most disappointing of them all!

What a beautiful funeral oration for the Democratic Party
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

In what amounts to Mark Wolf’s resignation letter from the federal bench in Massachusetts forget more than 40 years—he was already a senior judge, so it creates no vacancy—he says he “intend[s] to advocate for the judges who cannot speak publicly for themselves.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Oh yes because John Roberts (wrongly decided) immunity decision of 2024 is the modern day Enabling Act of 1933!!
BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law.

It took #Shitler only marginally longer to sideline congress! The #speaker has abdicated congress, even refusing to swear in a newly elected democrat!
Hitler was appointed - not elected - Chancellor in January 1933. The Enabling Act, allowing laws to be put in place without the legislature, was pushed through in March.

53 days.

So, yeah, pretty much overnight.
No it didn’t lol they didn’t just wake up one day & say we’re going to have a third Reich & by the next day it was there ffs

After watching #Nuremberg I have concluded that history doesn’t repeat so much as it echoes! Then it was the race laws that excluded German Jews, today it’s the denial of birthright citizenship to exclude children of immigrants! Then it was the camps, today it’s the camps! I weep for us all!
