I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I strongly believe this site hates ICE enough to have her criminal defense costs paid by morning. If 2% of my followers gave a dollar each, she’s covered

A MINNESOTA ICE OBSERVER NEEDS YOUR HELP ICE has been working with a local police department to charge an observer for tailing an ICE vehicle. She was doing nothing illegal. It’s an attempt to intimidate observers out of their constitutional rights. Help her (modest) legal defense fund.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

My work has not been for nothing. And I won’t stop. Democracy requires vigilance. There’s no end zone. There’s no touchdown dance. The work doesn’t stop because you win one election or take back the house or win in court. Preserving democracy never stops.

UPDATE: The GOP reconciliation bill (with $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol) has just been updated with a new $350 million slush fund for the regime to unleash Minneapolis-like violence on "uncooperative" cities. A final vote is expected within days, so call Congress NOW to oppose this bill.

In just a few days, Republicans will try once again to shovel over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol to build more detention centers like Delaney Hall and kidnap more of our neighbors. Send an email to your GOP Members of Congress and demand they vote NO on the MAGA spending bill.

Republicans failed to rush their spending bill through Congress this week, but we know the GOP isn’t done trying to shovel over $70 billion more of our tax dollars to ICE and Border Patrol. We need to keep building pressure and create even more cracks in the fragile MAGA coalition.

The U.S. Senate is going home without passing their ridiculous budget reconciliation bill that gives ICE more money without guardrails and attempts to fund Trump’s DOJ “anti-weaponization” slush fund. Keep fighting. It’s working!

🚨 The Senate just left DC for recess without passing Trump’s spending bill. Republicans thought they could rush over $70 billion more in funding to Trump’s secret police this week, but thanks to you (and general GOP incompetence), we’ve delayed this dangerous bill. Let’s discuss what’s next. 🧵

Now we need to keep turning up the heat on Republicans while they attempt to rush over $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. A Senate vote is expected by Friday — if you’re represented by a GOP Member of Congress, they need to hear from you ASAP.

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

As millions of Americans struggle to afford basic needs and make ends meet, Republicans are busy scheduling votes to shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol — and give Trump $1 billion for a ballroom. The GOP wants to rush a bill through Congress this week. We need your help to stop them.

We’ve kept ICE funding blocked since January, but Republicans are now trying to rush it through — and they’re hoping you’re too distracted to notice.

“We need a strong Republican party” is a psychopathic thing to say at this point. And in my opinion at ANY point in recent decades. But now? Straight-up saying hey friends, we still need a lot of fascism, a lot of racism. It’s necessary. C’mon guys. We need a destroyed Republican party. Ashes.
