Here to connect w/people who want the U.S. to be a multiracial pluralistic democracy, not a white nationalist theocratic autocracy. 💙

Every day it's exponentially clearer that we are living under a fascist government.

Authoritarianism is here. We are no longer living in a true democracy. Our job now is to work together to peacefully end this reign of terror.

This ends when enough of us say no.
Join those who are organizing:

He is following the dictator playbook, the autocrats have carved out the world for themselves.

The tyrant told us this week he is unbound, he is not restricted by the rule of law, the Constitution or by international law. He is only restricted by his “own morality.” (I.e., he has no bounds!)

Minnesota officials renewed their calls on Friday for state agents to be allowed to help investigate the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer earlier this week. State investigators so far have been denied access to evidence, they said.

Courage is contagious. Every defection on a bill, important or not, brings further defection on other issues. It breaks down the illusion of invulnurability the regime needs

Increasing defections by GOP members of Congress, on ACA funding in the House and the war powers resolution in the Senate, and on science funding in both houses, show that you are right.

They are stupid, brittle, and will fail. These are not the actions of an administration that is secure in its power.

In response to ICE’s execution of Renee Nicole Good & violence against our communities, the 50501 Movement is demanding the immediate abolition of ICE & is joining its partners in the Disappeared in America Coalition to announce ICE OUT For Good, a nationwide mobilization scheduled for 1/10 & 1/11.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

You would think a 79 year old man would know the difference between receiving an award that is deserved and taking an award by extortion.

The latter is the opposite of "an honor."

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

We are not here to debate.
We are here to dismantle.
ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.”
It’s intentional.
It’s deadly.
This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power.

Hayes: The president was asked should they be sharing evidence—his response was no, because Minnesota's corrupt.

Ellison: I will point out no president that I've ever heard of received a $400 million plane from a foreign country trying to curry favor with him, crypto deals, golf courses.

I particularly liked the chap that said that changing gun laws don't reduce shootings, contrary to the evidence gleaned from *literally every other country on Earth*.

We should be ashamed and embarrassed to be a society in which people will willingingly, actively, point a loaded gun in the face of a fellow citizen.

A free society should be one where government employees don't put a gun to your face when you're exercising a core tenet of said society: free speech

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP

He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t

And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes
