- Reposted by mmyers“The U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke … There is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot,” Stacey Abrams tells Anne Applebaum. theatln.tc/qkeYrlaM
- Every elected rep who votes for a budget that includes paying these people is complicit imo. Rep Raskin nails the solution here. The problem will be determining who was responsible while the WH plays the blame game...ultimately it's the voters who decided racism wasn't a deal breaker.
- Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.
- Red lines are necessary. open.substack.com/pub/charlesm...
- Staffers, paid with our tax dollars, spend time creating this content. They were hired for this. There is no bottom and no end in sight. It is done with Trump's blessing and at his direction.

- When the reporter becomes the story, you've lost me...for good. I will never believe your primary interest isn't self promotion. Sad for NBC Nightly News.
- Every news anchor should be shouting this from the rooftops. The problem is Trump lies so much, people default to that and don't believe anything he says. But we've already seen him try to overturn one election and then spend 6 years trying to prove he won. He never gives up. Believe it this time
- Reposted by mmyersI hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by mmyersCall your Dem Senators and ask them why they voted unanimously for the Sanders Amendment to defund ICE last week, but it's not on this list.
- Republicans own this. I hope their voters care enough for it to make a difference.
- (sigh) And that's that. Believe me, Sen. Moreno's "final offer" bill would have been WORSE. And I say that as someone who's gonna have to pay over $15,000 *more* this year as a result of the subsidies expiring last month. acasignups.net/26/01/28/sen...
- DOJ has spent decades investigating these people and apparently doesn't have enough evidence to indict or convict anyone except Epstein and Maxwell? I'm tired of proposals where public shaming/embarrassment of these men is considered sufficient justice. 𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓. 𝐃𝐎𝐉 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐛!
- These are old talking points from the Reagan era. On par with "trickle down economics".
- Reposted by mmyersI will never get over that a man who is named in the Epstein files thousands of times had the racist nerve to call Mexicans rapists. That he is president, sitting in the White House while Mexicans are disappeared from their homes tells you all you need to know about white supremacy in this country.
- Why are we giving anyone in the Epstein files a platform? What is wrong with us?

- Reposted by mmyersSo let’s be clear. Forced arbitration doesn’t protect survivors. It protects institutions. It protects abusers. A moral question: Why are Washington Democrats trying to shield a monster instead of standing with the people he allegedly harmed? @housedemocrats.wa.gov @governorferguson.bsky.social
- Reposted by mmyersNow here’s the especially sick part. Washington lawmakers are pushing a bill that would force these survivors into arbitration. No public courtroom. No jury. No accountability. Just silence. And to add insult to injury, it would charge victims money just to speak. 2/3
- Reposted by mmyersDr. Isaac Pope is being called the Larry Nassar of Washington state. A civil lawsuit alleges he sexually assaulted hundreds of children in state juvenile facilities in the 1980s and 90s. Kids who were supposed to be protected. Kids who had no power. The abuse went on for years. 1/3
- Reposted by mmyersThe main argument against using judicial warrants in immigration cases is that it's inconvenient for the government. Is there an inconvenience test for the Bill of Rights?
- Reposted by mmyersThe Trump administration has fused a social-media worldview with authoritarian tendencies—and in this “clicktatorship,” Donald Moynihan argues, “judgment and decision making are hyper-responsive to what’s happening on the far-right internet.”
- This reflects directly on the US's credibility. These people acted on faith that the govt would pay them and we reneged. How many instances like this before the entire world catches on? Trump won't keep a promise/contract anymore than he paid his contractors in business. apple.news/Adt4_X409RQC...
- I believe they'll continue to weaponize the justice system against unwelcome opinions. No slight is considered too small. The cost of legal representation alone to fight them is astronomical. How long before people cave and go silent against an unlimited justice system that is always in attack mode?
- The problem as I see it is that some courts won't recognize the Rittenhouse Rules and we'll get slapstick rulings all the way to the Supreme Court when Congress hasn't acted. Pretty much which is happening with a lot of judicial rulings nowadays. open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
- No admin in my lifetime has done more to undermine public trust in govt communications than Trump's. "The memes will continue" they bragged, thus promising more of this outrageous behavior. This is how they destroy, one meme after another. (unlocked article) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...
- Reposted by mmyersGoing forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophants—because there's nothing "supreme" about them. Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.
