Maine alert: ICE is expanding its presence. Know the signs, alert neighbors, document safely, and stay nonviolent—but don’t stay silent. Community awareness saves lives. Save this graphic. Share widely.

Boycott the brands backing the Trump regime. Start with Whole Foods, Dasani, Goya, Minute Maid as well as the corporate donors like them who bankroll authoritarianism. Our money is power. Spend it with companies that don't fund cruelty, corruption, or chaos.

History doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes it arrives with a woman standing where she was once barred. Today, Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia's first woman governor--honoring those who made it possible and accepting the work with a profound sense of duty.

There was good news on Friday. Trump backed down—for now—on his threat to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump’s advisers in the White House are waking up to the fact that the cruel, militaristic tactics used by ICE are angering the American people as never before

This is correct. Please support Marc Elias and Democracy Docket.
The only thing that can stop Trump are free and fair elections in 2026. In the last two weeks he has suggested they be canceled and the ballot boxes seized.

As a lawyer, I will fight this in court. Just as importantly, I started Democracy Docket to keep you informed. Sign up now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Worried about Insurrection Act? Read this!
Although invoking the Insurrection Act would be illegal and outrageous, we should step back to clarify what invoking the Act means—and does not mean.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. Mayor Jacob Frey and AG Keith Ellison are calling for discipline, peaceful protest, documentation, & community strength instead of escalation. They’re right.
Choose nonviolent action over chaos.

Minnesota is not out of control. It’s under pressure from federal escalation.

Local leaders are calling for peaceful protest, disciplined documentation, & community strength. Chaos only helps those pushing overreach.

In case anyone needs a reminder:

ICE agents are federal officers, NOT police. They can’t randomly stop people or enforce local laws. Street detentions need specific immigration suspicion. Home entry requires consent or a judge-signed warrant.

Don’t let them keep gaslighting and lying to us!
