Little Liam Ramos stood facing an ICE vehicle with his cartoon blue wooly hat. A state-sponsored terrorist ICE agent is holding him by his rucksack.
A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison.
A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

This vote means they heard your calls, read your stories, and are struggling to ignore your pain and really your power.
Keep fighting. On to the Senate.
These are the consequences of a government that stokes fear, discrimination, and sanctions violence. Our thoughts are with the family of the woman murdered by ICE agents today, and all those who have lost their lives because of this cruel and careless administration.
Leaders who can speak clearly and without waiver, that’s what the tragedy today calls for.
Sending political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. We must not allow a weaponized DOJ to be the norm.
Thank you @replamonica.bsky.social for continuing to fight against this administration’s efforts to scare and silence anyone who dissents.
“The Trump administration is confirming what we’ve always known: its promise to leave abortion to the states was a lie. No one is safe from their anti-abortion crusade, not even our nation’s veterans,“ @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social
The Trump administration is hoping you will miss this quiet effort at the VA to ban abortion.
For her courage and leadership defending her community, her constituents, and our democracy, she is attacked and dehumanized by the most powerful man in the world.
This is right out of the authoritarian's playbook. It is as disgusting as it is anti-democratic. This is what fascism looks like.
Racism and xenophobia from Trump are nothing new, but this tirade is particularly shameful.
@repilhan.bsky.social has continued to hold Trump accountable for the lawlessness and blatant corruption of his administration, as should every member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...
These word are dangerous.
And the specific targeting of Rep Ilhan Omar must be condemened roundly by every elected official. She is a member of Congress representing thousands of people.
When Trump targets women of color leaders they must not stand alone.

More “investigations” designed to bully and intimidate. Keep finding courage. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...
This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.
New piece laying this out:
newrepublic.com/article/2030...
Republicans are so desperate to force a national abortion ban. Time to remind every member of Congress that you are an abortion voter and you won’t forget. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
“Instead of coming to the table to negotiate a solution in good faith, Republicans have done everything possible to make it more painful for federal workers and for everyday Americans…A hollow promise of a future vote simply isn’t good enough, not with millions of people’s health care on the line.
These rumors can’t be true-
“After 40 days of this shutdown – & following a historic election where voters resoundingly rejected the Republican agenda – it is unacceptable for Democrats to agree to a deal that takes us back exactly to where we were on September 30” nwlcactionfund.org/2025/11/09/n...
First they illegally fired federal workers, then they cut funding for bridges and roads, then they stopped SNAP payments and now it is flights. What if they actually focused on governing for all people instead…
Costs are not down and communities are not safer. And voters are not confused.
Schools are sensitive locations. This adds fear and chaos into what should be a safe, welcoming environment.
The cruel ICE enforcement will touch us all—The care workers who are targeted because of their race and where they work, the day care center that is now short staffed, the families desperate to find affordable care so that they too can work.
ICE is a problem for us all.

So just let veterans die if it furthers a hate-fueled campaign against trans people? Got it. Shame www.propublica.org/article/vete...
With Republicans it's always the same strategy: Families lose, billionaires win.

I joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social today to demand that Republicans get back to work with Democrats to prevent catastrophic increases in health care costs. Millions of women are at risk of losing health care due to skyrocketing costs—Congress can and must prevent that from happening.
It turns out that illegally firing federal workers as a negotiating tactic is bad for everyone.
These are the moves of someone who believes there are no checks on his power.
Come to the table, lower the cost of health care, open the government.

“I am confident the courts will see this blatant political attack for what it is, but even so, the precedent this is setting is deeply troubling.”

Trump thinks the Justice Department is merely a tool to punish his enemies. We still have laws, courts, and a public who disagree.
Shame.
