Very VERY glad to see Jon Ossoff leaning all the way the fuck away from the centrists trying to tell dems to "reconcile" or "tone it down" or "find the persuadable republicans." This is the shit, right here. Hammer down and make them have to say on live TV that they love Nazis. The end.

Just to be clear: we are fine in Minnesota. We are not being taken over, though there are more rabbits in our yard than some years. Also we still need to address creeping bellflower. But otherwise all good. Don’t need rescuing or another murderous occupation.

Trump has claimed that states are “merely an ‘agent’ for the federal government” and they must do what the president tells them. “Almost nothing in that statement is correct as a matter of law,” Marc Elias says. Keep an eye on the people trying to rewrite the rules: demdock.com/4rSKLdE

Lynching wasn’t a Southern relic; it was a white American system. Built everywhere, defended everywhere, and still alive in the way this country polices, punishes, and kills Black people.

Sen. Ossoff: Tonight a united Georgia will hear the trial of Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists, and he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic childlike devotion to Donald Trump

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.
