Kansas bills creating bounties to go after trans people in bathrooms, Texas bills creating bounties to go after people using and transporting abortion pills—the desired outcome is clear: harassment and surveillance curtailing the movement and bodily autonomy of women and LGBTQ people everywhere.

The regime is preparing their efforts to rig the 2026 mid-term elections.
We can stop them if we are prepared and we stand united--but we have to be crystal clear on what they're trying to do.

I agree. Working on a new report on this right now. What happened in Atlanta today is significantly worse than it even appears on the surface. I daresay I no longer hold out much hope that this fall will be anything but utter—and scary—chaos.
A free and fair election increasingly feels unthinkable.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

It's a little known fact that the 2nd Amendment only applies some of the time, and only for certain people. So many fail to read the actual text—or follow recent and widely reported SCOTUS jurisprudence—that they get confused.

New in PN: The regime's mind-bending lies are a tactic
"The VP told them they could kill anyone who annoyed them. Pretti annoyed them. So they killed him. Now the lies Bovino and Noem are telling about Pretti’s death are intended to encourage further extrajudicial executions and likely will do so."

Trump will try to steal the midterms. An administration that executes citizens in the streets and then lies about it will do anything to stay in power. We must plan accordingly.

Another reason Democrats must stop, defund, and ultimately abolish ICE: voter suppression. ICE has forced a significant number of people of color to hide inside their homes. What if ICE patrols just outside key polling places during the midterms?
