Please join the ACLU. They don't have the money to campaign like political parties or the backing of the UN. And the work they do is so important, but doesn't get enough coverage in the media.

Autocrats are WEAK. Their grasp on power is WEAK. They can only hold on to it by cheating, intimidation, and violence.

The People are so much stronger than a fragile tyrant but we MUST come together and aggregate our power. Link arms and push back as a massive coalition of freedom-loving people.
What Trump is doing to the Census is similar to his strategy on gerrymandering and gov. economic data. He is going to change the formulas to maximally bias outcomes in his favor, at the cost of accuracy and fairness. At a fundamental level, Trump is a cheater www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-make...

I agree with @ezralevin.bsky.social the Surrender Dems didn't fight for our healthcare. They won't fight to defend the results of the midterms when the fascist GOP will falsely claim they won in a classic autocratic move. They will roll over. Again and again and again. So what do we do?
You NEED to know what's likely to happen in the midterms and what we need to do about it.

"They would not be trying SO hard to get you to give up if they were winning" -- @parkroseperma.bsky.social absolutely nails it. The fascist regime and their supporters are fragmented, incompetent and demoralised, so we need to fight them even harder while we're winning.

While reporting this, we came across this ProPublica story from 2019 about a Border Patrol Facebook group.

Hardly any differences between this and other cop pages we've reported on. It's all the same dehumanization and racism, just different targets (w/ Chicago cops—usually it's Black people).

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Without Chris Pappas winning in New Hampshire, Democrats won’t have a chance at taking back a majority in the Senate. That’s why this race is being targeted by GOP super PACs and Republicans across the country.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.
