Chakrabarti: We’ve basically created a federal jobs program to terrorize people through ICE. What if we used that instead to actually develop things — to build things people want?

It’s the same with foreign policy. We’re spending all this money dropping bombs in other countries—no one wants that.

Opinion | What Exactly Is a ‘Concentration Camp’?

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

So.

A globally disruptive, economically unsound, and whim-driven tariff policy turns out to be unconstitutional.

Huh.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Republicans, Alex Pretti should be your breaking point | Opinion Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse who cared for veterans. Federal agents shot and killed him on a Minneapolis street and none of it makes sense.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Some scam PACs are bilking people with No Kings branding. I strongly advise you prioritize organizing with your community over donating online to anyone (us included). But if you want to donate, you can go to Indivisible.org or pick your favorite real No Kings partner at NoKings.org/partners

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I hope more people are seeing the writing on the wall. Because it appears as though the people we elected are delusional and think we are going to fix this with decorum and lawsuits. Some of them need to pick up a history book or two. American exceptionalism won’t save us. #seattle #washingtonstate
