Our United States Constitution in the 14th Amendment which can’t be altered by EO or SCOTUS!!
Even if you’ve never joined anything else, please consider joining this class action lawsuit!! Our constitutional rights depend on our convictions and our determination!!! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

@googlenewsus.bsky.social Google news app, then Business tab show nothing for Dow or S&P. If I click on them they just show yesterday’s close. Bad day for a real-time blackout.

Once again, fuck Merrick Garland for his cowardice and fear that he would appear political. He cared more for his reputation than he did for the Constitution, democracy, the American people, and his oath of office.

It'd be great if AARP filed a class action suit on behalf of social security recipients instead of sending out endless exercise & travel tips

i take him at his word that he wants to win, the interesting thing to me is when his strategy fails — and it has failed, multiple times — he just pretends it was never tried

This is literally how Trump won both times
@mattyglesias The way you "stop Republicans" is to beat them in elections by having party leaders adopt more moderate stances on key issues and take a big tent approach to candidate recruitment. That Republicans do bad things when they win is the reason why progressives should embrace this.

Don’t negotiate with terrorists. Don’t assist authoritarians in their destruction. Don’t vote yes to help the Trump-Musk party dismantle America.

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.

That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.

This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

We were here 1st.
#ICE
On Mescalero Apache Tribe letterhead: MESCALERO Apache Tribe P.O. Box 227 108 Central Avenue Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 TRIBE Office: (575) 464-4494 Fax: (575) 464-9220 STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT THORA WALSH-PADILLA ON IMMIGRATION INCIDENT INVOLVING A TRIBAL MEMBER As of 3:45 PM this afternoon, the Tribe verified only a single incident where an ICE January 23, 2025 Mescalero, NM Last night and throughout the day today, I received multiple calls from concerned Mescalero Apache Tribal Members in relation to rumors of incidents involving Tribal Members and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. agent questioned a Tribal Member in a public place in Ruidoso. This incident occurred yesterday. ICE agents began questioning a family standing in line in front of the Tribal member. The family was escorted outside. Then, an ICE agent still inside the public place approached the Tribal Member in Spanish. The Tribal Member responded by stating the Tribal Member spoke English. The ICE agent asked the Tribal Member for a passport. The Tribal Member presented a picture of a New Mexico Driver's License and a Tribal identification card. The ICE agent did not continue questions at this point and exited. While this is the only incident we have been able to verify. Tribal leadership is actively working with the New Mexico Congressional Delegation to ensure that the rights of Tribal Members are protected. To be safe, be aware of your surroundings, let family members/friends know where you are, and keep identification with you at all times. If possible, then carry multiple forms of identification (driver's license, state-issued identification card, Tribal identification card, Certificate of Indian Blood, etc.).
