I’m not new, I’m just new *here*. You know me, I know you. The sun’ll come out tomorrow.
The consequences are OUR responsibility. Hold a grudge and mean it … for democracy. Don’t let it go. Folks doing the leg work to make it actionable are friends, not suckers.
LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

All politics is local, which is why the authoritarians want to distract you from what’s happening in your own back yard. Don’t let them. Stay engaged. Stay informed. Go community.

It’s not law enforcement.
It’s ethnic cleansing.

If we don't capitalize on this opportunity to take our government back, we just fucked everyone in the world.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch but also don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. We have an opportunity to retake and redeem much of our government, to turn back from this fascist convulsion. Take it. Bc if we blow it, we damn our children and their children.

Corollary: don't let any elected office go uncontested. NOW is the time to file for 2026 ballot. Run for county clerk or recruit someone you respect coz every single race is going to matter! #elections

Indefinite detention is not supposed to be a thing in America. That’s how you know this is more like a concentration camp rn, and it’s not the only one.

I wish it did. Does to me. But it has to alarm most of the 90M who didn’t show up to vote in November and at least some of the 76M who voted for him. Then it will matter. If he starts shooting protesters, that’s probably close. If he adjourns Congress and goes full-fasc, I think that would do it.

If he doesn’t do it now, he will soon. He has to complete his coup before November 3, 2026 or he loses his servile Congress and he’s toast. Only way to stop him is to end this presidency. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

This is illegal and, to make a tiresome point, is ipso facto not an official act. It is also just dumb and crazy.

Now do Mike Johnson
i get the cynicism that outrage over Trump's racist post will change minds but the breadth of the GOP criticism is significant -- Collins, Curtis, Wicker, and Scott (among others) are out with statements unequivocally denouncing it. It's a step in the right direction from "I haven't see the tweet."

Not ✌️those people✌️,

They’re trying to take YOUR vote away.
It’s illegal.
It’s unconstitutional.
It’s anti-democracy.
And that’s why they’re doing it.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself.

If I understand correctly, when a person is at risk of being free, they can be made not free, so that they won’t be free, in case maybe they crimed and we’ll figure that out later.

Serious question: how is this NOT Idiocracy? Like, name one way.
Watch lawless ICE thugs now start every paper with claim that they were an "escape risk"!

Illiterate, Ignorant, untrained KKK/ProudBoy/3%er are NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT!!

And have no business being on the street until they are taught legal procedures!!

We The People teach!!

Some random billionaire is running for Governor of Georgia on the premise that his wealth means he “can’t be bought” and it strikes me that if there’s one thing we know about billionaires it is that they are the most continuously bought group in existence.

This card is being handed out in Minneapolis. It hurts to read — and to realize how necessary it is.

Here’s what the Spanish says:

You have constitutional rights:

• DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.
