Dems are going to think R judges are wrong, and Repubs are going to think D judges are wrong, but hopefully we can all agree that when judges appointed by 1 party unanimously think the law says one thing, and judges appointed by the other party unan. think the law says something else, we’re fucked.

Add this to Trump’s tweet today about imposing voting restrictions whether Congress wants them or not… Get ready for Trump to try to steal the election, bc we’re only 9 months away and they are already talking about it openly.

Sending a message to #iceair pilots in a blizzard. If the weather isn’t bad enough to stop them from flying, it’s not bad enough to keep people from reminding those pilots what they are doing. [alt text] #Omni #deportation #iceout #fuckice
During a blizzard that caused flight cancellations across the east, a protester arranged signs on an airport fence where an ICE deportation flight would taxi past. One sign shows 5 fists raised in solidarity under the text “NO ICE”. The other sign says “CHAINED PASSENGERS ARE NOT SAFE: O2 (oxygen) or EVACUATION”. This sign refers to the practice by immigration agencies of transporting non-violent, often non-criminal detainees in full wrist and ankle shackles, making it unlikely passengers could reach oxygen masks or evacuate a plane effectively in an emergency, according to flight attendants and experts.During a blizzard that caused flight cancellations across the east, a protester arranged signs on an airport fence where an ICE deportation flight would taxi past.

This guy was one of the lawyers who helped create DHS, and later he was a Trump appointee to be the top lawyer for DHS.

We’ve had a year of Trump 2.0. A year of lies, law-breaking, extortion, targeted prosecution, government violence, murder, and war crimes. Don’t sit idly by: if you have power, use it. If you have a voice, use it. If you believe in democracy, justice, human rights and the rule of law, GET ACTIVE.
FIRST they came for the IMMIGRANTS,
And I spoke up.
Because FUCK these FASCISTS.

Remember Psalms 146:9 “The Lord protects the foreigners among us, unless ICE gets to them first.” Or something like that. #Christian #ChingaLaMigra

I’m so furious.
Senator King,
I am so upset at your short-sightedness, naivety, and cowardice that I'm beside myself. After voting to give away everything last night, with the only
"concessions" being that the GOP must do what the law requires of them anyway, you went on Joe Scarborough this morning and said "standing up to Trump wasn't working." What does "working" look like to you, if it isn't Dems winning everywhere less than a week ago? If you think standing up to him wasn't working, wait until you see how well rolling over works.
When you are facing a bully, giving in doesn't make them feel conciliatory, it just gives them more power. Trump and his lapdogs now know that it they just act worse and hold out longer, Dems will cave. What we need right now is a strong opposition, not milquetoast naives who don't understand what they are up against. You and your colleagues caving did the equivalent of trying to meet your opponents halfway in a tug-o-war: congratulations, now they got what they wanted, and they are still going to pull you even further.
Instead of representing a party that will fight for principles, and for their constituents, now what most Americans are going to remember from this whole episode is that a dysfunctional government made people go through hell for 5 weeks for nothing, that no one stood up for them, that no one in Washington can be trusted, and that neither party will do anything but make meaningless gestures at the public's expense. You took the Democratic party from a position of principled resistance, to just a weak, hapless group of cowards who will posture for "likes" and then acquiesce to the status quo.
I've supported you for a long time, but you are not up for the job you are facing. You are still trying to navigate a world we no longer live in, and it's time for politicians who understand what the moment requires.
