To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.

Can any reporter ask any Republican member of the Senate or House on camera what constitutes an impeachable offense under their understanding of the Constitution? Genuinely want to understand what crime, apparently yet to be committed, is the line.
We should defund ICE in order to properly allocate military resources for a war with Iran.
Donald Trump once opposed war and promised to remove America from foreign entanglements.
This is why he broke that promise.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

"An Associated Press reporter was beaten by the police and detained along with three other journalists on Tuesday in Cameroon while reporting on a secretive Trump administration program to deport migrants to the Central African country, according to two of the people detained." (gift link)

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Lotta fat old guys telling Olympic athletes that they should be sent home. No one is stopping you from getting off your couches and training to take their spots. Until then, enjoy watching them exercise their free speech rights. Go team USA.

This time I made this critter out of alcohol markers and De Atramentis Archive Ink. I was going for a sticker and medieval calligraphy cartoon look for this one.

February 17: National Day of Lobbying. Show up in your representativesβ district offices and demand impeachment, conviction, and removal. In-district pressure matters more than phone calls to D.C. offices.

Itβs bad enough that weβre subsidizing extremely profitable sports teams with our tax dollars to build stadiums, but weβre letting them charge us $17 dollars for a beer and $11 dollars for a damn hotdog at the concession stand?
Enough. Hereβs one thing we can do about it.
It's important to understand what Trump is trying to plot. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/could-trump-really-take-over-the
So the βelectedβ President with his elected majority House and Senate says they have to takeover elections because Dems cheat. Make that argument make sense.

I know someone who had health insurance through the work place and when they lost their job they were able to qualify for Medicaid. They work part time, pay taxes. They are now the healthiest they have ever been. It is a program that works and should be expanded to cover all USA citizens.

Also, the EMTALA law would need to be rescinded. It is required by law for an ambulance to take you to the nearest ER for life threatening conditions. The receiving ED is required by law to keep you, no transfer to a more affordable or in-network facility, until you are stabilized.
There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.
Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.
Tuesday - ICE agents used pepper spray to push through a crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked IDs in a Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis.
The Trump administration is targeting this community and they know it.
ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them.
6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th.
Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent.
Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.

A 17-year-old high school senior from McMinnville, OR was detained by ICE during his lunch break β even after telling officers he was a citizen. An agent shattered his window and said, βI donβt care.β
This should outrage every all of us.

I love Chicago's ingenuity. This article gives several examples of peaceful, proactive pushback to the violent ICE invasion. This is information that other targeted cities can use to protect their vulnerable citizens. We are strong together. π
