Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

Today, we honor and remember Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. Her courage has allowed countless survivors to be seen, heard, and to be believed. Sending love to her family on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice.❤️

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

1/7 For most of my life I thought that the #USA was simply the worked example of the absolute minimum requirement for a constitutional #democracy. One with only two parties, and where the winner is the one with the most balloons (or billionaire donors donors these days).

6/7 Soldiers on the streets facing down #US #citizens. Images that until this week would only have come from a failed state overrun by #drug #cartels. Make no mistake though. The US is NOT a #FailedState, YET. This is still a fabrication and a provocation by an #amoral #cabal

7/7 But for how much longer? As we watch the creep of #oppression, the erosion of #CivicSociety, and the loss of #HumanRights toward the population of the #USA, where is the tipping point? I don't know, but I do know we are getting closer and the stakes are getting ever higher.

4/7 Elected #representatives are either #complicit or seem unable to wield the power they are supposed to possess. The #courts are trying, but move with ponderous gait which has been OK in the past where everyone played by the assumed #rules and followed #DuePprocess.

5/7 But now #POSOTUS and his #fascist enablers ignore the courts, representatives seem to require no consideration, their complicity is so complete. The result? We are watching #TheRiseOfFascism #LiveStreamed in real-time. It could easily be #TheFallOfDemocracy

2/7 Now I realise it's actually a #monarchy or #dictatorship and it's just that previous #POTUS incumbents either didn't realise this, or they did they did but refrained from going down that path. Either way, the system perpetuated with its frail and corroded guard rails.

3/7 Now we have the #NeoFascist #Project2025 in power, with their #Malignant #Narcisist puppet on the (golden) throne, beating upon democracy's guardrails. Turns out, they don't really work. The #Monarch simply issues proclamations & the sheep follow, absent check or balance.

In the failed state of California in the overrun city of Los Angeles today I drove my mom to the airport, got some coffee with a friend, got the kids from school and worked on some podcast edits. Thank god the United States Military will be sent in to shoot unarmed civilians. This cannot hold.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
