More deadly bullshit from our own government. ICE is the terrorist threat we face, not undocumented immigrants.

Yes all this everyone can do something even 2 day a week..every Democratic Group needs volunteers
Look at your local elections, there is no federal lever that can cancel or discount elections. Become a poll worker, help your local candidates knock doors, help people register to vote. Call their bluffs, the pushback in Utah worked and we have a blue district despite them trying everything

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting."

My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I built a law firm to stop it. I started Democracy Docket as another tool in the fight for democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.
‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond
ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

A president extorts $75m from a film production company to make a documentary about his wife.

The GOP doesn't want a rule that ICE can't wear masks for fear of doxxing. If the agents weren't acting like absolute Gestapo thugs, it wouldn't be a problem.

Minnesota is not among the top 10 states with the highest immigrant populations, so Trump picks Minnesota to invade because he hates Omar and dislikes Somaliians.

Let's see: Trump calls most media networks and journalists fake news. He casts doubt on the election process. He has "joked" about no reason to have midterms and threatens to use the insurrection act. He is attempying to narrow election eligibility rules. Sounds sort of sinister to me.

Be afraid. Be very afraid that the separation of powers which keeps US free will be destroyed by the GOP.

Brilliant staffs write Party Platforms.
Appealing politicians get elected.
Majority parties lead Congress and its committees.
Skilled staffs write legislation.
Committees decide which bills are brought up for a vote.
Politicians vote on those bills.
So, vote for Democratic politicians -- ANY Dem's!

Yes, there is a recently-released picture of him and Jeffrey Epstein with girls or women

But these 6 women went public before he was hired for the Melania dreck and if you watch it or even discuss it like it's just camp, you help to enrich him and his supporters

"Sanctuary" status isn't just about doing good. It's a survival strategy for states who understand that state and local "cooperation" with DHS actually means that we pick up much of the bill for federal immigration enforcement.

The DHS budget for 2026 is $332,720,000,000.
Trump’s ICE Problem—and Ours
Trump can’t legally force “sanctuary” cities to help ICE. So he flooded Minneapolis with federal agents. Here’s what comes next.
