“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Once again, demanding the Board of Supes pass an ICE-Free Marin Ordinance. The cowards have yet to put it on the agenda. 100 of us showed up yesterday. #ICEisGestapo #AbolishICE

People lined up with signs reading "ICE Trump's Brutal Secret Police," "Defend our Immigrants," "ICE Out."

In the foreground, a woman in a black Rock the Vote T, blue jeans, a compression glove, whistle around her neck with a button-laden blue hat (me), stands next to a woman in a frog costume, who has on her other side a lovely woman with red jacket, a red-and-white keffiyeh and black pants.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Between now and Sept 30, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will decide whether to sign or veto the “No Side Jobs for ICE Act,” AB 1537 by Assembly Member Isaac Bryan. This bill would make sure local police and sheriffs in California can’t take a 2nd job as deportation agents. Make a call today.
