Here's your chance to do something about the people being starved and beaten in Broadview ICE custody.

Share this post, and I'll donate $1 to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund (www.mibfc.org).

And if you make a donation to them, let me know how much and I'll match it 1:1.

Disgracefully, @durbin.senate.gov has his messages off. As a lame duck, there is zero excuse for collaboration with people kidnapping our neighbors, Senator.
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
Sens. Jacky Rosen (Nev.),
Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.),
Jon Ossoff (Ga.),
Gary Peters (Mich.) Dick Durbin (Ill.)

the Democrats who are are considered by R's as possible “yes” votes for the deal.
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Hello. May I have the phone book to Hokaido Japan please.

Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.

Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.

Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.

This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

I hate to equate these, but what the party need is a Four Freedoms/Contract with America type of platform. Clear, specific, "here's what we believe."
people love to talk about dem messaging problems and those do exist but the core issues are still substantive. what even are they trying to message? i follow politics to an unhealthy degree and beyond “egg prices!” i don’t know what the party wants to do with power.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. First Trump illegally sent a child’s father to be imprisoned without trial or due process in El Salvador. Then ICE grabbed her mother to be deported to Venezuela.

But despite the mom saying she wanted to leave with her daughter, ICE is keeping the baby!

Fuck these phonies who think goods government is nothing but good PR. Harry Truman was a machine cog congressman until he figured out how to make defense contractors unpopular during a war. How? Hearings! Make bad people look bad on TV, ffs. It is more American than anything except racism.

There are only two times in recent memory when the Dems acted forcefully: When Bernie was about to win the nomination, and when the money dried up after Biden's debate. They will only act when something presents a threat to their grift. Ending the flow of money is how you destroy the party.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.*

There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
CNN: Is democratic leadership is doing enough?

SENATOR JACKY ROSEN: I think that we have to realize that we're in the minority. They have the White House, they have the House, and they have the Senate. So the tools that are available to us here as legislators...they are limited.
