I suspect this war is going to make AIPAC as popular as the NRA among Democratic primary voters.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Trump is dragging us into another dangerous and illegal regime change war.

The American peopleβ€”people from our communitiesβ€”are the ones who will pay for it.

Every one of us must lift our voices forcefully right now against this. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal β€” it's being seen as too weak Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats β€” and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

this is good. underrated problem with popularism: it is--openly and explicitly--a pathetic, wimpy school of thought www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."

To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

New poll: Voters would rather pause deportations than pay more for groceries, housing Trump's State of the Union address was largely about crime and immigration. Voters in our poll want to hear less about immigration policy and more about how he's going to bring down prices

New poll: 42% of adults say they would spend a hypothetical $75 billion surplus on reducing housing, health care, & food costs, vs 5% who say immigration enforcement.

Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

Sewickley father detained by ICE as 6-year-old daughter begins cancer treatment His arrest came just two days before his 6-year-old daughter, Maria, began treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ICE abducted a father of a six-year-old who is undergoing cancer treatment in a suburb outside Pittsburgh on Sunday and took him to a detention center in West Virginia.

The cruelty is boundless.

Good. But this was never a close call, legally. The waste of taxpayer dollars arguing the case, the economic loss imposed by the action and the confusion that remains on how to make folks whole / counter future non-IEEPA paths from these morons remains. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

For the Supreme Court to actually rule against Trump you know this was completely illegal.

Live updates: In rare rebuke of Trump, Supreme Court strikes down tariffs The ruling deals a major blow to his signature economic policy and represents a stinging political setback.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, dealing a major blow to his signature economic policy.

The decision is expected to affect global trade, companies, inflation and the pocketbooks of every American.

The Governor gets top billing as the special guest, but I will actually be conducting the training for anyone interested in learning more about voter protection and pollwatching.

JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
