Apathy kills democracy. If not us, who? If not now, when? Be creative. Peacefully but courageously resist. Never give up. Support The Democratic Party and those who break through the gaslighting & corruption while we still have a democracy.

Thought we should check in on the total list of legislative flips during Trump 2.0. The tally so far (including tonight):
Democrats: 26 flips
Republicans: 0 flips
Democrats: 26 flips

78 metro areas have more undocumented residents than Minneapolis. So why is ICE there? Because Trump can't legally force "sanctuary cities" to cooperate, so he's using violence instead. A sharp legal breakdown of what's really happening.

Trump’s ICE Problem—and Ours
Trump can’t legally force “sanctuary” cities to help ICE. So he flooded Minneapolis with federal agents. Here’s what comes next.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

“Nationalize the voting” is a direct threat to the Elections Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which grants the states the power to oversee our elections. This is fundamental, Constitution 101 type stuff.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.
