SUBMITTED TO US: Bloomington and 35th was held for 7 hours, withstanding two sweeps. Neighbors and friends re-erected the blockade within minutes after both sweeps - before police had even retreated - thanks to the support of neighbors who dropped off more supplies and hot drinks. .

This is a FANTASTIC time to primary your local D electeds from the left.
We’re looking at another very big Dem overperformance tonight—in a Trump+13 district. Dem Chasity Martinez is up 61-39 with more than half the vote in. Notably, like in TX last weekend, the e-day vote has been even *better* for her than the early vote. voterportal.sos.la.gov/graphical

Increasingly looking like the GOP is about to die a death. We'll be left with either an authoritarian Trump dictatorship if they can pull off the self-coup this time, or a democratic schism between liberals and leftists after the fascists are thrown into the trash heap of history.

A shame she missed the cutoff to not face a tribunal, but I'm sure she'll get off light.

This just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how to do news. Data helps, but data doesn’t tell a reporter to spend a years-long investigation into child labor or an editor to place staff in a country on the brink of war. What exactly does Bezos think WaPo’s “journalistic mission” is?
Jeff Bezos' statement, his first since last week's layoffs: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus."

As soon as Trump said he was “de-escalating” in Minneapolis the press took it at face value and rolled back its coverage even though ICE continued to rampage the city. Now, because Susan Collins said they weren’t going to conduct operations in Maine, the same is happening there.
Between Jan. 20 and 28 Black and Hispanic students in Portland missed school at a rate 30 percentage points higher than their white peers.
Thousands of Maine kids missed school as ICE carried out heightened operations
Absence rates for multilingual students were near or over 50% in some school districts where immigration enforcement spiked, and educators describe empty classrooms and fearful students.

Reminder that if non-citizens don't have access to Habeas, citizens don't either, because that's how you'd ultimately prove you're a citizen. It doesn't matter what papers you have if nobody ever puts you in front of a judge.
AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings
It's a 2-1 ruling
Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump)
Minority: Douglas (Obama)

The democrats are absolutely failing to understand that the *moderate* position is abolish ICE.
Too many won't act for the moral good because they think they can't keep their jobs that way. They all need to feel that the *only* way they can keep their jobs is if they actually fight for us.
