This needs to be a thing.

If republicans so shitty about dead folks voting, why they letting Mitch McConnell do it? Gurl! 😂

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court just took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history. This decision is yet another brazen power grab to diminish Americans’ right to vote. Congress must respond to protect our democracy.

This is Bailey. She normally gets kibble for dinner but she's pretty sure there's meatballs in here so she's very excited. 14/10 (TT: baileycarriesthings)

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

Sundance’s filmmakers spoke to the urgency of the political moment. Their movies, mostly, did not. But there was one powerful exception.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

Thank you to all the Virginia Indivisibles who visited DC to demand their senators get ICE Out For Good.

Open letter to our Senators: Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow. We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold. It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses. Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

I hope everybody out there realizes, and I am completely serious, if Donald Trump and the Republicans win the midterms, we will become the United States of trump. And I'm not even joking. He stole a dead presidents theater.

Kristi Noem misled the American people and allowed ICE to violate Americans’ Constitutional rights. She needs to be impeached.

The original sold but there are prints! Some are using them for marches!

So back in June Alex Padilla was tackled and detained by ICE for trying to ask a question at a press conference. The story from the administration was he attacked her. Fast forward 7 months, Maxwell Frost attacked, Ilhan Omar attacked. Not a peep from the media about "turning down the rhetoric". 🙄

As a veteran who’s deployed, I know exactly what “in theater” means. It’s a military term for operations in foreign countries. Using it to describe Minneapolis isn’t accidental…and I can’t overemphasize how dangerous that language shift is.

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?

There is no reason any of these men need any of this gear. This entire situation is not only dangerous and illegal. It is absurd and stupid. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

This is Jade. She just met the biggest dogs she's ever seen. But quickly learned they have the biggest hearts too. 13/10 for all (TT: catimtins.pscal)

We only rate dogs. This is Samuel L. Jackson in a cute sweater and a bad mood. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

This is Bruschi. He's 14 and has flagged down this ice cream truck every week for the past decade. Firmly believes a weekly cone is the secret to a long, happy life. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

It's so irritating when the kids experience existential crises on a road trip and there's not a humbling natural landmark for another 60 miles.
