I interviewed a lawyer for a Maryland-born US citizen held by ICE in Louisiana. Please read.
ICE Detained a US Citizen in Maryland. They Moved Her to Louisiana Despite Court Orders.
The Maryland-born woman disappeared from the agency's tracking system for two days, then was transferred 1,000 miles after a federal judge ordered she remain in state

Just spent an hour with a 22 year old organizer in PA who is lit up and ready to change the world.

It's impossible to be cynical and pessimistic when you're connected with people who are in the work for all the right reasons, and working to make it happen.

We are going to win. Hope is real.

Please make a donation to Scott's critical campaign.

Every race counts, and with the shifting tides, this one could help keep 55,000 Georgia residents free from environmental harm, with efficient energy costs, and with a rep who cares deeply about his people.

He cannot flip this seat without financial support. His district is mostly rural and poor. Scott estimates that he can flip this district with $20k in donations, which will in turn drive turnout for up ballot races.

Right now, his campaign coffers have $700.

Scott is running on key issues: protecting local residents from the environmental and financial impact of data centers that are harming rural communities, and on affordability and energy costs. He lived for a time in Sweden and knows how things need to change for working people.

Four Georgia seats have flipped blue in the last month. This one is more than possible as long as Scott has the right support.

This am, I met with Scott Hamby, the Dem candidate in the Georgia 72 District.

Scott is a combat vet & GA native. He worked food aid in Ukraine, helped evacuate Afghanistan, and served for 20 yrs.

He is out to flip a gerrymandered district that's been in GOP hands for generations.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Watch the whole thing. Absolutely chilling.
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

PS. YouTube doesn’t cover my monthly grocery bill for me and my kids but I am going to keep doing it anyway because people deserve to be educated about the law and how it intersects with politics in plain spoken language that doesn’t hijack your central nervous system for profit.

For 5 days we’re saying #WeAintBuyingIt to Target, Amazon and Home Depot. Instead we’re shopping local. Today redirect money you’ve saved from the boycott and give it to charity. Remember, when they go low, we go local! Invest in your communities by supporting local businesses.

Then I headed to pick up ornaments and gifts on Maryland Ave. I’m going to do my darnedest to shop 100% local this holiday season and with so many unique, specialized, and all around fun small businesses in #MD03, that’s entirely doable.

She’s got him on the ropes and is going for the KO.
Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.
