Their numbers are growing, it appears to be completely decentralized, with people shouting out updates like “we’re needed on 4th street!” plus loud cheers when they identify someone in need of help and loud cheers when a vehicle is freed.

If there is one piece of messaging that I wish Democrats would try to convey in mass, it's that this administration and its party lies all the time, about everything. The lies have gotten more brazen, but they have been ceaseless for years.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

On possibility of 2026 is that people in the administration see ICE as an electoral strategy, targeting swing states to suppress voters of color or to arrest imagined hoards of "illegal" voters before they engage in voter fraud... if so, hard not to see it having the opposite effect
ICE is coming to Portland and Lewiston imminently, their mayors confirmed today. Both cities have large Somali populations.
When reached for comment, ICE wouldn’t even confirm whether or not this action was happening.

Just told my 3yo daughter about #ICE. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Trump raised fist pose and said "Hail #TrumpHYDRA" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate.

A thing that gives me both hope and despair is a deep and abiding faith in the inability of the American electorate to make up its fucking mind
New Gallup figures in these charts. Well, so much for that emerging Republican majority people were writing about in November 2024. Was evidently a mass overreaction to Trump's win and failure to acknowledge softness of support, and thermostatic politics www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...
