I've been saying this for weeks. We have to make the Republicans fear their own constituents more than they fear Trump. This is a piece of that.
Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship | Washington Monthly

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie?
Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care.
They are the new face of the opposition.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.

Tens of thousands more are here temporarily as foreign students and professors.
