I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.

Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

The offer of so-called ‘deferred resignation’ is deceptive and legally dubious, and denied federal employees the time they need to make a major life decision. Today's ruling pausing that offer will give them a little more time to evaluate what is on the table, which is a step in the right direction.

As former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney so eloquently said in a January 6th Committee hearing, “To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a time when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.”

Trump has issued an executive order accusing 51 former officials, by name, of “election interference,” potentially a serious crime. Their offense was exercising their right to free speech, @shaneharris.bsky.social writes: theatln.tc/Zfakrrfl

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Yesterday was a terrible day for America—and that includes every single Trump voter. This report has all the details.
Trump’s Day 1 Executive Orders Are a Live Grenade Thrown at His Own Voters
Never in American history has a new president done more in one day to attack, in the most vicious ways imaginable, the very people who voted for him—opting instead to please the people who funded him.

Act locally. Pay attention to your school board and local government. It matters who serves in your state legislature, and it matters what they believe.
The Revolution Will Not be Televised
-take more Polaroids, take pictures with film
- put an actual pen to actual paper
- talk to people in person
- preserve banned books and science books

Today, the Senate of #Virginia passed constitutional amendments for voting rights, reproductive rights and marriage equality.

The first two passed on partyline votes; the latter, on a bipartisan 24-15 vote.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.
