This is the equivalent of "putting the sign in the window", as Mark Carney referenced the other day. No matter who we are, we must stand up for what's right, and not be afraid of the bully.
Allowing swing-district Democrats to vote for DHS funding so as not to look "anti-law enforcement" feeds into the false narrative that ICE is enforcing laws rather than breaking them. It is an organized crime syndicate. prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.

Political reforms which would set us on a path towards a new system which don’t require a constitutional amendment:

- Proportional representation in the House with RCV in the Senate
- Expanding the Supreme Court and limiting its power
- Abolishing the filibuster
- Adding DC and PR as states

On election day, an election 🧵

@andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.

Trump has triggered a particularly fierce round, but the logic of war is inherent in a winner-take-all system

When will America wake up and realize that Democratic Socialism is far superior to Cutthroat Capitalism?

Greed and competition are Neanderthal traits.

We need to evolve into our higher selves with compassion, cooperation, generosity, happiness, enlightenment, peace, & love as the prime directives.
