I have not set foot in a Target store (or digital space) for over 3 months. … tbh, it’s not fun. It’s weird to admit, but the boycott has impacted my personal leisure time (retail therapy), my work responsibilities (monitoring shopping trends) & essential purchases (clothing & home goods.)

A little buried in this is a Trump quote, paraphrased: Dems are paying for ppl to "infiltrate" "town halls of republicans." "Eject them immediately" or else "they will think they are Republicans, and that there is dissension in the Party" Note: Only GOP allowed at town halls; Dissent is forbidden.

I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

This is a clear, true, & important distinction that many people refuse to make. The same is true of "fancy city dwellers condescending to hard workin' ruralites." The same is true of "wokesters forcing you to use pronouns." These are RW bogie men. RW hysteria exceeds actual examples 1000/1.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

The fact that due process for the est. 11 mil. US residents w/out legal status is untenable is proof that we need immigration reform. You could easily legalize thousands of our local community members, families, students, laborers, innovators w/ no criminal record. Criminalization is a Choice.

The sheer incompetence of the Trump administration is breathtaking, as even the most basic visible functions of government like air traffic control are collapsing, even as we know deeper functions like promoting science, regulating public health, protecting workers are all being obliterated.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.
