“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.”
Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

This is brutality, not policing.
He wasn’t the driver. He didn’t lead police on a 130 MPH chase.
He was opening the door to get out when the trooper smashed the window, grabbed him by his locks, punched him, and dragged him by his hair.
Watch the video, decide for yourself.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history.
His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.
But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
Calling him a crook is like calling Texas summers warm.
We cannot allow him to become a United States senator.
@jamestalarico can stop him.

One easy way that you can know the two parties are not remotely the same is that Andy Kim is now the Democratic Senator from New Jersey & Bob Menendez is in jail for his crimes.
This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books.
We need more of this from our electeds.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

White supremacy has gone by many different names in the United States.
Manifest Destiny.
The Confederacy.
Jim Crow.
KKK.
Christian nationalism.
MAGA.
Different names for the same thing: white nationalism, misogyny, and predatory capitalism. All while using Jesus as a mascot.

If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it.
