I don't know how much good this will do, but I applaud Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman (a Democrat) for warning ICE not to detain people unlawfully. I hope DAs in other communities do the same.

A lot of what Democrats have ended up offering is contempt for Trump voters and moderate policy ideas. Dr El-Sayed is suggesting a reversal on both counts: radical empathy for Trump voters..and radical change to eradicate the social conditions that enabled Trump

Today marks the 16th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision — unleashing a flood of corporate money in politics. State trigger laws can prepare the ground for real reform when the Court changes course. bit.ly/3Xsczat

They will do anything to not be caught up in the Epstein files. No matter what lives are lost or who we have to bomb in the process. It’s simple if we find out the truth on the Epstein files the GOP and all of them are going down including the supreme court.

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
