- Reposted by franklin1337Exactly right. Miles just laid it out plainly and suddenly the story snapped into focus. When the facts line up this cleanly, the denial doesn’t matter. This is why independent reporting still scares the hell out of them.
- Reposted by franklin1337TIME magazine just released its new cover focused on Minneapolis, calling it “The Siege of an American City.” More than 3,000 federal agents have been deployed in the city in what’s being described as the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history. Absolutely outrageous.
- Reposted by franklin1337Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked. When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.
- Reposted by franklin1337Tell Mike Johnson and the other cowards in Congress who balked at Trump’s call to “nationalize” federal elections to say HELL NO:
- Reposted by franklin1337This quack read some garbage on the internet. RFK Jr. is now claiming a keto diet can cure schizophrenia and eliminate bipolar disorder. His evidence? “I saw a study two days ago.”
- Reposted by franklin1337You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.
- Reposted by franklin1337The office of the President of the United States has been vacant since Jan 20th, 2025. Amendment 14, Section 3 makes that clear. An insurrectionist cannot hold office except by assent of 2/3rds of Congress. When the office is once again filled, every illegitimate EO & law will be undone.
- Reposted by franklin1337I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
- Reposted by franklin1337The administration cut funding for the national database that tracks domestic terrorism and school shootings. They are making it harder to stop violence just to protect their political allies. They are literally blinding us to the threats we face daily. #WhoVoted4This
- Reposted by franklin133750501 is officially 1 year old, but we’re just getting started. From massive mobilizations to economic pressure campaigns, we've been organizing action after action in response to the actions of the fascist Trump regime and the ICE secret police.
- Reposted by franklin1337There are drawdowns. And then there’s Melania Coin.
- Reposted by franklin1337The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

- Reposted by franklin1337NEW: Florida voters have sued Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over his unilateral effort to launch mid-decade redistricting in the state, arguing that the governor lacks the authority to issue orders to the state legislature. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by franklin1337Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility. ICE has caused enough harm to our communities. They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently. Head to crockett.house.gov/media.

- Reposted by franklin1337Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."
- Reposted by franklin1337Despite two court orders to return Emilio Pena Jimenez to Minnesota from a detention center in Texas, the government sent him to Mexico.
- Reposted by franklin1337The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country.

I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
- Reposted by franklin1337I am running out of ways to convey how disconnected from reality Trump's judicial nominees are. They can't say that Trump lost the 2020 election, they won't say that the January 6 insurrection happened, they don't acknowledge any fact about anything if Trump hasn't authorized them to believe it
- Reposted by franklin1337Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by franklin1337January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol. That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress. I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.
