If they think they can get away with it, they will do it.
One of my biggest fears about the midterms is that ICE could flood the polls with agents who perform Kavanaugh Stops on every non-white person before they get a chance to cast a ballot, then detain them until voting is over. Which is not far-fetched at this point. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-po...

“I am somebody” shaped how millions of us saw ourselves as kids, including me. That message mattered. It still does.

Rest in power, Jesse Jackson

We the People shouldn't have to investigate corruption. That's what the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice are for. But this regime has compromised them, so we have to rely on @normeisen.bsky.social @democracydefendersfund.org to get to the bottom of Tom Homan's acceptance of $50K.
BREAKING : We @democracydefendersfund.org are suing the FBI for stonewalling records on its abruptly closed investigation into Homan’s alleged pay-to-play scheme

He allegedly took 50k in a CAVA bag!

We want the tape & more & we'll fight 'til we win 👇

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

White-supremacist regime. Not even trying to hide it.
Today, I confronted Jeremy Carl, Trump's nominee to a top State Department role, about his history of racist remarks, including ridiculous claims that white people are experiencing a “cultural genocide.” He is clearly unqualified to represent us abroad. youtube.com/shorts/xeb_I...

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended

"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

Attorney General Pam Bondi has the power to hold the men in the Epstein files accountable. 

But she’s doing the opposite. She’s protecting them.

Big ego-maniacal man-baby narcissist making whimsical trade policy and destroying the global economy and America’s friendships in the process.
Trump claims he has the authority to impose tariffs to respond to an economic “emergency.” Is getting his feelings hurt an emergency? This shows how absurd is tariff crusade is.
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

This is a welcome breath of fresh air after the grand jurors in Minneapolis failed their country completely by indicting journalists who were merely exercising precious, First Amendment rights, including freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
It's the citizens on this grand jury & the people blowing whistles in Minneapolis & across America that are standing up to Trump's lawless, authoritarian takeover.
 
We, the People are protecting our democracy as spineless Republicans in Congress roll over for Trump every time.

this case is maybe the single best example of one of the most destructive tendencies of this court: the tendency to treat their job as a collegiate legal seminar where they operate in hypotheticals rather than deal with the real world as it exists

Trump's racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn't a mistake—it's part of a pattern. From DHS posting neo-Nazi recruitment material to erasing slavery exhibits, white nationalism has become official government policy.
