Tyranny
ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents.

The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

It is paramount to vote these fuckers out
GOP senators threaten to impeach judges who rule against Trump

The GOP ratcheted up their criticism of — and pressure on — the federal judiciary Wednesday, arguing at a Senate Judiciary Committee panel that some of the judges who have ruled against Trump’s administration deserve to be impeached.

Dallas showed up tonight.
People are protesting after Renee Good was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.
This grief is shared. This anger is justified. 💔

What didn't air on CBS
So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

I saw the video. I saw the ICE agent walk away and flee in his car. I saw them refuse to allow a doctor to assist her. I saw the blood on the airbag.

But, what I can’t stop seeing in my mind is the stuffed animals in the glove compartment.

I’ll never stop fighting. This mission is for Christina-Taylor, Gabe, John, Phyllis, Dorothy, and Dorwan—and every single victim and survivor of gun violence. We will build the safer future they deserved. I’m sure of it.

As I look back on the years since I was shot, I’m reminded of how much is possible when we reach across divides and find common purpose. Together, we built a movement to end America’s gun violence crisis and have passed more than 820 gun safety laws across the nation.

Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

I almost died, and think of those who did every day.

There’s another emergency rally in NYC this morning—9am Foley Square.

Kristi Noem is going to NYC today to hold a press conference. New Yorkers are showing up in mass to tell her to get the f*ck out.

Join @handsoffnyc.bsky.social in the streets. It’s time to get loud and stay loud.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

More mayors/governors must demand that ICE leave their cities & states. No citizen is safe with ICE present. This case was filmed. How many others have been murdered in streets, homes, prisons/concentration camps? Organize for midterms NOW to defund ICE, reclaim democracy & end the fascist regime.
ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
