More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Congrats to Ramirez, and to @konfrst.bsky.social and her team on the great win and huge margin!
Angel Ramirez easily won yesterday's special election in Iowa House district 78.
It's the third special Iowa legislative election of 2025, and Democrats greatly improved on the Kamala Harris benchmark in all three races.

Iowans deserve leaders who put us over billionaires! But, our representatives voted to put Medicaid, SNAP and more crucial programs on the chopping block to pay for tax breaks for Trump’s billionaire buddies. That’s why this Tax Day, we're holding them accountable.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I refuse to link to the story but the Des Moines Register should be embarrassed about this story. They found a way to write a feature/heartwarming tale of a violent insurrectionist who attacked a police officer. We need them to tell the truth now more than ever. This isn’t it.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.
"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

This is an awful take. Condemning people for how they get from day to day and keep their activism/advocacy going is a recipe for discouraging involvement when we need it most.
Not surprising to discover this is from the @lincolnproject.us chief of staff. Ignore the grifters stirring up nonsense.

I am seeing so many posts on social media about boycotting the inauguration. Don't you dare. Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming

Fine. I can admit there could be at least one positive outcome of a second Trump administration.
Now, if @lincolnproject.us were to close shop as well, that would be even better news.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.
Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…
