political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.

Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?

Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

🚨 INFURIATING: Trump & Elon Musk are gutting the VA, firing Veterans, and sabotaging their care.

Jammie Mosser served this country for 30 years. He took a job helping fellow Veterans—then got kicked to the curb after just one month.

Now they want to axe up to 83,000 more.

Rodriguez: They're slashing staff, crushing unions, and selling out the VA for what? So billionaires can make more money while veterans sit on waitlists. Our president was asleep while Moscow was at the wheel. Veterans don't trust him. He’s not one of us.

Put this on blast.
Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare.

And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.
