This is what authoritarians are never gonna understand: average, everyday citizens do not like watching paramilitary thugs brutalize children. All the vaporware memes in the world can't fix that for them
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

In total, the study estimates that there are 28,725 foreign-born workers in Idaho, and removing that entire population would result in a 4.6% drop in gross state product, resulting in a capital loss of $5.1 billion.

Scathing.
"Gutless"; "firmly on the side of violence and lawlessness"; "[his] cowardice will embolden those who demonize the very idea of human rights..."; "a man without either conviction or courage".

The SAVE America Act is part of a coordinated effort to make voting harder for eligible Americans. These bills are not about election security. They are about restricting access to the ballot & deciding who gets to participate in our democracy. ACT NOW! bit.ly/4rajB0V @lwvus.bsky.social

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.

In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Budget cuts do not save money.
Expenses are simply shifted to other agencies.
When will #idleg learn that?

Idaho’s prison costs could surge if parole hearings stall under Legislature’s budget cuts • Idaho Capital Sun
If steeper budget cuts recently passed by the Idaho Legislature’s budget committee become official, the state will spend more on prisons.

The vote on the #SAVEAct could happen tomorrow.
The bill will affect *your* right to vote unless you meet very specific requirements. Requirements that are unavailable to millions.
Call your representatives now.

The #SAVEAct is #VoterSuppression.

Republicans are fast tracking the bill because they know they won't win elections unless they suppress the vote.

Contact your members of Congress. Your right to vote is sacred. Protect it.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.

It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

The #SAVEAct is a voter suppression act. The act is a form of poll tax, which would prevent millions of citizens from voting.

Yet Senator Risch brags that he was an original sponsor. Apparently, he doesn't want married women to vote, or deployed soldiers.

Shameful.

Congress is dysfunctional. Independents who are not beholden to a party machine can change that, by acting as a fulcrum. Read more:
