ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Administration must work to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home. He was wrongfully deported.
I joined @vanhollen.senate.gov in calling on the Administration to immediately comply with the court order and bring him back.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

What did you do before dawn today? The stalwart members of the Indivisible MN03 Light Brigade reminded commuters that democracy matters. Here in the western suburbs of Minneapolis, the temperature was 3ºF just before sunrise.

Nice misdirection. Surprisingly, you did not vote for Hegseth at DoD but you *did* vote for the execrable Duffy for DoT. What were you thinking?! Never mind. I’m going with Kompromat on Klob, at this point.

You and other Senators continue to vote for this. You are enabling and complicit. If you vote for Trump’s nominees, you’re helping to further his agenda.

Democrats are being too nice. Why aren't you all screaming? I use to be a big fan of yours. Voting WITH republicans is never good unless it is for impeachment.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?
My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.
