A graph using reports from people over papers showing Numbers of reported kidnappings and activity from Minnesota, California, Florida, Texas, and then a combination of all other states. The highest Spike is in mid-January showing that Minnesota was reporting 500 incidents a day while California was reporting right around 100. Along this whole graph, Minnesota is showing at least double reports compared to everyone else with the exception of a time in very early January when California was almost on Pace with what we were seeing here. There is a small heading up top that says: immigration enforcement in Minnesota dwarfed the rest of the nation.

Seeing this visualization has been really impactful for me. There were times when people tried to come at us sideways for claiming this is *different* and massive in a way that we hadn't seen other places. But it really really has been.

Anyone who thinks these for profit concentration camps are solely for immigrants has never read a book.

A thread posted on Threads by Senator Cory Booker: “Here is to the decency of past presidents and the urgent need for us to have this again.” A video clip of George W Bush speaking at a lectern is included. Above the video is the text, “I miss seeing this kind of dignity & grace from a Republican President.”

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

Watch him vote for the SAVE Act and disenfranchise millions of women.

Wow this is a lot of anger. Is this chick ok? jk - obv not. Get a grip

@aoc.bsky.social what are you going to do about it?

Clowns

man I didn’t understand a damn word of that but it looked like they had a blast and I know it pissed off all the right people 10/10

@adamkinzinger.substack.com can you run down ways elected dems can leverage whatever power they have even tho they are in the minority

@schumer.senate.gov I can tell you what this actually IS: an embarrassment, a betrayal of the people you represent. This is why we want you all out. Performative BS. Are you actually on the side of the fascists? It would be hard to prove otherwise.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social are you kidding me with this nonsense. This is nothing. Just like the other meaningless gestures. Look around - What are we even doing here?

@scanlon.house.gov Actually - we are calling on your accountability TO DO something.
This response is not good enough. Please do better.

@ramirez.house.gov What are you going to do? Wha action will you take?

So do it then already. Where are the impeachment articles. What are you willing TO DO?

I thought Miller could only be handled as criminal referral. Not impeachment. I'll take either, but which is it actually?

So what are you going to do about it?

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

There’s no need for deep analysis of why Dems want to increase ICE funding.

It’s simple. You’ve been lied to and they are one and the same with Repubs.

Feel the sting and move forward like a grown up.

What he says with his mouth nationally and does here in Illinois are two separate things.

He needs to get in control of his own gang of assholes before he gets all high and mighty like this.

This man used to walk the walk, now he just talks the talk.

Too bad you're not in a position to do anything...impeach? Resign?

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

No, they should be impeaching & removing already. The fact it’s progressed this far is already a total abdication of their constitutional responsibilities.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

Drawing of a Republican Politician saying “I want everyone to die” and a Dem Politician saying “I don’t, but that’s cool. How can I help?”

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Instead of making videos of the travesties we are seeing 24/7- how about taking some action? It is your job right?

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

There are more options than just this, right. I won't hold my breath though. It's probably performative cuz it's Murk and Tillis ls anyway. Who's next - Collins? lol

This is what we all should expect from our elected leaders in Congress. What is so difficult about this? It's so infuriating and terrifying.
