The House should impeach him three times a day. They won’t run out of charges of easily proven malfeasance. They should be preparing the charges in advance and just start off with ten/day right out of the gate.

If the USA doesn't impeach Trump, or at least try, it's going to lend substantial support to the argument of many outside the USA that it's not Trump, it's the USA as a whole.

4. The clip is internally incoherent. She says the tone has to be ruthless. Says we need investigations and accountability. But doesn't want impeachment? Come on.

Hennepin Co. neighbors: vote for CEDRICK FRAZIER aka @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social, NOT Anders Folk, who is a Republican - though he’s trying to hide it. Folk will of course support ICE in more murder and kidnapping. Cedric Frazier has promised to prosecute ICE. He’s the only choice!! Thank you.

We are proud to have Representative Cedrick Frazier represent the DFL on the ballot this year for Hennepin County Attorney. He is the only DFL-endorsed candidate in this race, and we encourage all Hennepin County DFLers to vote for him on or before November 3rd!

I am a cancer survivor. Chemo, radiation, 2 surgeries. I never worried about money. However, I am watching Conservative Premiers trying to privatize the system and I am worried the next generation won't be so fortunate. People have to vote on this as an issue.

For several days I have been hearing rumors of an ICE detainee death that ICE was not reporting. I've just learned a local journalist has confirmed it and will publish soon. Now I read this and see there are actually TWO deaths ICE is not reporting. www.daylightsandiego.org/ice-detainee...

A political party tries to court people's votes. An authoritarian regime tries to keep people from voting and keep votes from counting.

Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.

Last year today was one of the scariest days of my life. We initially called a lawyer who wanted to work with feds to arrange a perp walk. Kat told that guy to fuck himself. Thank God for the National Lawyer's Guild, who Kat called right after. They were ready to fight the bullshit on zero notice.

Today is the anniversary of being told by an FBI agent that I was about to be federally indicted. I tried to look for pictures from that day but all there is the tableau of full-body stress hives all over my back. 0/10, take better pictures future Kat

Despite the Christian Nationalist propaganda you were taught in schools, the Pilgrims didn't flee to America because they hated religious persecution--they just wanted to be ones who got to do it. It's an attitude still embraced by this country's conservative Christians. Glory!
