I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

I wonder if this will make Susan Collins concerned. If so, will she simply sit and roll over and let Graham Platner win or is that trick only reserved for maga?
Oh the pearls that will be clutched as she begs the GOP maga machine to help her win.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

This is how authoritarian state security forces behave in Turkey, China and other countries. Now America joins them.
This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them.
They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps.
Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Whoa, I’m actually learning something from Booker’s speech. If I’m hearing him right, the GOP is planning to use Enron/Arthur Andersen accounting techniques to lie about the fiscal consequences of their tax cuts.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
