Yes, yell at your Senators and Representative to #AbolishICE, but make sure you also tell them you expect tribunals and executions for the worst offenders.
These people have been willing to compromise with Nazis and fund their agenda. Make abolishment the compromise position.
We’ve all heard and read about the family that was flash banged and tear gassed in their car but most of us haven’t seen the video footage from that night.
You can hear others yelling “There’s kids in that car”.

A reminder that this is an avenue available to everyone in the House. A direct proposition to impeach is a privileged matter, and though they'll table it, you still get time on TV to talk about why you think it's necessary.
At least for as long as "the rules" apply.

When asked at a campaign stop by a college student about GAC, MI Senate Candidate El-Sayed replied "The decision ought to be between a patient and their doctor." Every Dem should memorize that simple soundbite.
underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Moderate Democrats are dipshits, but they are not the enemy we must defeat in November. They’re like Third Republic France, incompetently positioned against a fascist onslaught - but positioned against them nonetheless.
Regardless, we must destroy the enemy at all costs, lest we be destroyed.
I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done.
This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands.
He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.
These brutal prison camps should not exist. Evil people should not be taking $$$ Billions of taxpayer dollars to inflict cruelty on innocent people.
The orange fascist must be impeached and removed, and the entire infrastructure of evil demolished and banned forever by constitutional amendment.
For a year, California's largest ICE facility has barred all detained residents from hugging loved ones. The policy has sparked so much fury that residents have launched campaigns across dorms demanding contact visits
In my latest, see video from one detained organizer + how CoreCivic has responded
…Like… on Sept. 11, 2001, people knew about climate change, but we'd solved the Ozone Layer & Y2K (even if we didn't talk nearly enough About solving them), so even while there was still this nascent, nebulous dread, there was also this sense of bright-electric-blue-and-chrome openness to so much.
…
Weird that *this* is me coining "stillborn millennium," as it wraps around an idea I've long discussed: that every piece of pre- & peri-millennial possibility, technological hope, or mythic future potentiality was inverted *Right* at its moment of highest vulnerability, & that we've never recovered.
This USPS plan is designed to disenfranchise the entire state of Washington, @governorferguson.bsky.social and @atg.wa.gov. The Roberts Court is not coming to our rescue, so how do you plan to safeguard our election against this attack?
This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
These whistleblower allegations are extraordinary.
If Trump Administration officials knowingly built a system designed to prevent Americans from receiving their ballots, that is not election security.
It is a betrayal of our Constitution and the American people.
Hegseth is a garbage person for many reasons but top of the list is he's a literal murderer who should spend the rest of his life in prison. That's not to minimize his many other offenses but I do think it's worth keeping in mind the obnoxious hateful buffoon is first and foremost a serial killer.
This was a straight up, unambiguous constitutional violation. I don’t care if it wasn’t explicitly criminal, it violated the oath to the constitution all fed employees swore to uphold.
Every FM employee down to the base level who approved illegal expenditures of misappropriated funds must be fired.
The people who did this work for full-bird colonels with access to legal staff. They knew it was wrong and they did it anyway. They violated their oaths to the Constitution and that is not compatible with federal employment. Period.

That might sound harsh, but it‘s a compromise down from prison. It might sound like firing a lot of people, but it’d be a fraction of who were fired or separated under DOGE. Most are boomers at the end of their careers who can keep their retirement and walk.
NEW FROM ME: On a hellish third-country removal flight last month, passengers say ICE-contracted guards got drunk, teased and beat them, tied them up, refused to let them use the lavatory. One says he witnessed an ICE agent admit to illegal chain refoulement. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...
James Clyburn says on @meetthepress.com that he supports adding four seats to the Supreme Court: “A baker’s dozen would be a good number to have on the court.”

Yeah this is..."liberals and leftists want America to survive as a democratic republic and carry the twin flames of 1776 and 1865 into the future" against "sounds hard tho"
"A Dem Congress needs to make investigating this (what is happening in Venezuela) a priority. State AGs with jurisdiction over participating companies and perhaps underlying financial arrangements should get involved. International prosecutors with jurisdiction should do the same." 🧵↘️
So, let me get this straight, the US illegally attacks a country, kidnaps its president, threatens its government with massive military force, gets them to hand over to US control a huge portion of their national assets, hails the billions it has already brought in and promises billions more...
If the governor of *Wyoming* is complaining about DOJ “election monitors,” then the election interference from Trump is gonna be insane this year. Get ready.
At least two DOJ election monitors allegedly tried to interview voters and access voting machines in Cheyenne during last week’s primary election in violation of Wyoming law, Republican Gov. Mark Gordon said.

Rep. Al Green filed H.Res. 1486. Now every member of Congress has a choice to make, & you can make them say it out loud.
Two minutes at buff.ly/NEdnYKs: pick your district, copy the email, hit send.
Silence is an answer too.

There’s a bipartisan elite consensus for the proposition that the President *can* govern like this. The main dispute across the partisan divide is about what they should *do* with that power. This was clear super early on in the crisis. 1/
Trump is a Republican and the Republican Party is Trump. MAGA is not an aberration, not some radical right wing offshoot of a more normie Republican Party -- the whole Party is Trump.
80% still support him, even now. Never forget that, never forgive it, and never stop doing something about it.
"At a time when no American celebrity seems immune from the country’s many divisions, Dolly Parton was a crossover icon who stayed neutral in the culture wars while still speaking her mind," writes Zachary B. Wolf. | Analysis
every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸
Worth a reminder that the Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that USPS could not be held liable for mail carriers deliberate and intentional refusal to deliver mail.
I remain convinced they had the election firmly in mind when they did—although the case itself had no election-related concern.
I understand the confidence about how this will all end, but I'm still livid at the Postmaster General for having the gall to say the USPS has the right to decide who gets to vote, when the USPS's actual job is to DELIVER THE GODDAMN MAIL, including every ballot, whether Donald Trump likes it or not
Injunctions are made for preliminary situations. I'm not inclined to view this with anything remotely approaching a blasé attitude.
It's a strong signal of what the court has already signaled strongly: they want to help Republicans suppress voting.
Heywood and his MAGA allies want to turn Washington state into the next Epstein Island, and everyday people think it is downright creepy.
Vote NO on Heywood's initiatives this fall!
“Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, and discussed potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.”
BRUH.
