The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.

We are.

500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.

Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism
The White House has access to all the Flock and equivalent cameras. I genuinely didn't think I'd live to see the US surveillance state become this extreme.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is using a grant program from the 1980s to force cities around the US to funnel their ongoing collection of Flock, Axon, and other ALPR data into large federal surveillance centers that fall under the White House’s jurisdiction, 404 Media has learned

Klobuchar: "The fact that when people are hurting this much and literally can't pay their bills & insurance premiums, that he then spends govt money instead of to help people pay for their insurance, on an ad to glorify himself. They are making the connection now on corruption and affordability."

It's WEEK 3 of 5 Minute Midterms. Time to... CHECK YOUR ID REQUIREMENTS! 🗳️🤓

Most states do require some form of ID to vote in person (yes, even "safe" states), and the rules change more often than you might think. Don’t assume it will be the same as the last time you voted!

At the start of the Trump administration, an executive order was released with certain words and phrases that will now be flagged by federal agencies.

Including "climate", which affects a large range of research topics from extreme weather to workplace environment & employee moral 🧪 🧵

State legislative races are easy to overlook, but their consequences reach all the way to Washington. In PA, MI, MN, WI, and AZ, a trifecta — one party controlling the governorship and both chambers — could shape the future of the House. This piece is worth revisiting as we enter the final stretch.

Happy Labor Day, Dane County! Today, I'm launching a progressive write-in campaign for State Senate against Sen. Hesselbein (Dist 27). She hasn’t faced a Democrat since 2012 & had no Nov opponent. We deserve a choice! Now we have one.
Check out our launch video here!

We just secured the liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court thru 2029! Susan Crawford's big win keeps the highest court in this battleground state from falling into MAGA hands. Thank you for all you did to elect this Indivisible-endorsed candidate (and make Elon Musk waste over $20 million)!

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked).

Thank you, Senator.
