Your all-too-regular reminder that Republicans in Congress think this is just fine.

I understand that this is facially apparent but I don’t think it really hits without repeating: the minute the rules changed, these states immediately turned to the *most racist* maps, the ones the courts had already said were *too racist*

the death of 60 minutes and the rest of the VRA on the same night really brings home how the current conservative project is to kill the progress and ideals of the mid century

🔥 🚨 🔥 🚨 🔥 🚨 🔥 French Senator Claude Malhuret says what the majority of the world is thinking

Today, we celebrate the love, joy, and resilience of the trans community and stand together in the fight to protect the lives, voices, and rights of trans people. Wanting a safe and authentic life for ALL of our neighbors and loved ones shouldn't be radical. #TDOV

What an insane thing to say out loud. How did they get the keys to the country?

ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Examples of "the best government that money can buy" are becoming more depressing. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted accepted more than $115,000 in campaign contributions from Les Wexner, one of 6 people listed as Epstein's co-conspirators, and then voted against releasing the Epstein files.

You really really REALLY have to read the whole thing.

An innocent 5yr old boy in a bunny hat, spent more time in jail than any of Epstein's fellow abusers. Think about that for a minute.

“Democrats are afraid of what they’ll find in the Epstein Files. They don’t want full accountability.” I will burn the Democratic Party to the ground and piss on the ashes if I find out our leaders were involved in a massive child sex trafficking operation. Every Democrat I know feels the same.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Somehow facebook thought I would want to see: 1) pro ICE content defending ICE threats towards protestors and explaining why ICE has the “right to rip protestors out of cars and should” 2) ads from ADL explaining the awful history of anti-Zionism The fascists must be getting desperate.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does. Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision. We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore. This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

The entire McDonnell quote of “we can’t use X so Y is our alternative” is indicative of such a disingenuous lack of of imagination and problem solving rampant in the dept. It’s no wonder LAPD leaders and the city consistently fail to do anything but ask for a larger budget year over year.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The same reason moderation doesn’t work if you’re an alcoholic, moderate appeasement of a fascist will never work. The disease always wins if is given any room to grow. flip.it/asc2xz

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot. Stacey Abrams Voting-rights expert

Can we force this into a ballot proposition initiative? I heard an officer saying because it was not law and was essentially an executive order by Newsom LAPD policy could disregard it. Can’t we force it in via a prop?

Police Chief McDonnell needs to be indicted, impeached, fired... whatever it takes to get rid of a rotten apple in the department. He is allowing criminal behavior by refusing to enforce state law. www.westernjournal.com/lapd-chief-r...

@mayor.lacity.gov where you at? Is the best we can get really LAPD and the city council allowing federal militias to remain masked and allow their crimes to remain anonymous? Where’s your spine?

Absolutely infuriating that even when we in California change the law to do things like ban ice agents from hiding their identity, wearing masks, and operating as a secret force we are sidestepped by an all too willing and complicit LAPD chief who won’t enforce the policy empowering ICE further.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.
