No elected official who supports ICE should be able to hold a meeting or go anywhere without being made uncomfortable and held accountable!!
Every one of them. Every day until we VOTE THEM OUT!
Fuck ICE and every fascist or accomplice who supports them!

I keep hearing the same argument from MAGA:
"What about all the citizens murdered by illegals".
Then get a warrant and go arrest them!
Don't patrol the streets terrorizing everyone, arresting children at schools and US citizens because you don't know who to arrest. See the difference?

Um ... YEAH. It's not like a study was needed to determine this.
Confirming what many of us have felt over the last year: WE are paying the price for Trump's tariffs.
Our families, our neighbors, our industries, and our local business owners are bearing the brunt of this reckless trade policy. This is not what's best for America. bit.ly/4a4ml8H

New research contradicts President Trump’s claim that foreigners are footing the bill.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

I truly would never have imagined this HERE in the US. And I'm a cynic.
Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.
Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.
It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

THANK YOU to those few Republican Senators willing to stand up for the people who voted for them. And thank you to every Senator who has been actively holding this line from day 1.
ACA subsidies need to be extended! So far in the vote, three Republican senators (Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Dan Sullivan of Alaska) have broken with their party and supported the Democratic proposal to extend the premium subsidies for three years.

Which is AWESOME. But with my tax dollars staying the same or going up, I'm much more concerned about people having enough food than I am about the uber-rich having tax breaks. So, this is still a problem for me.
When the Trump Administration shut off SNAP benefits, @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social did what they always do: step up.
They've done incredible work to connect Oregonians with food and resources for decades. I'm grateful for the work they do to support our communities every day.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.
