I feel that’s gone in me personally — I don’t even care if I ruffle feathers.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by Françoise GirardSuburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.” share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...
- Reposted by Françoise GirardUpdate: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

- Reposted by Françoise GirardNo progress in Poland to ease the strict abortion ban because of anti-choice politics or reluctance in the gov't - but five years after Poland's top court gutted abortion rights, access to legal abortion has expanded a bit – only for women who learned to work within a system designed to say ‘no’.
- Reposted by Françoise GirardWe believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. Read our full story: propub.li/4qUNfXH

- Reposted by Françoise GirardJeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
- Reposted by Françoise GirardSENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed We must rein in ICE Here’s what we're demanding:

- Reposted by Françoise GirardReminder: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, July 2, 2024.
- Reposted by Françoise GirardThis Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.
- Reposted by Françoise GirardThe European Commission must decide by 2 March whether it intends to give legal follow-up to a European Citizens’ Initiative that gathered more than one million signatures in 2025. It would allow EU states to voluntarily fund women's abortion care when they need to travel from another EU state.

- Reposted by Françoise GirardThe GOP wants to “DOGE” our state voter rolls. Their so-called “SAVE Act,” wld require ongoing voter purges using citizenship data from sources such as the DHS’s “SAVE”program & SSA. It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

- Reposted by Françoise GirardShould be noted that undocumented immigrants have a VERY low propensity to commit crimes, so that's a low bar. But still the comparison is damning.
- Reposted by Françoise Girard"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

- Reposted by Françoise GirardNEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
- Reposted by Françoise GirardQuick round up: - the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile - he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments - his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets - the FBI is helping him steal the election - he’s threatening war against multiple allies 👍👍👍

- Reposted by Françoise GirardOur founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

- Reposted by Françoise GirardIf Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.
