If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
I was like "Hey, the NY Times has finally grasped the concept of irony!"
Then I noticed the Editorial Board's piece titled "Here's How to Defeat Trumpism"...

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
Yes. And universities, hire religion scholars.
(…and to those doing so, reverse your foolish plans to close Religious Studies departments).
The folks who spent the week on this website saying Orban was conspiring with Russia to create a false flag attack to freeze elections are the very same folks constantly predicting doom here in the US too so🖕🖕🖕🖕

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights is reporting an uptick in ICE activity across the Chicago area over the last week, incl. reported abductions at Cook County courthouses and immigration check ins.
Chicago neighborhoods of reported activity include Rogers Park, Austin and Pilsen.
By the way, I just want to remind you that until we are shown otherwise, this is effectively the Republican agenda.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Remember, the GOP is the unpredictable, violent father. You're not allowed to question him, unless you want a beating. So everyone -- EVERYONE -- displaces their angst or anxiety or fear or resentment onto mom, ie, the Dems. Why isn't she fixing everything?!
Duke won’t solve this until one of their own throws Stephen Miller into an active volcano
Unequivocally true. Schumer keep Democrats in check, they didn't blink and now Republicans are either A) going to have the pass some ICE reforms. Or B) go through the taffy puller that is reconciliation.
Seriously - the number of people on here describing Biss as a "moderate" or even "center-right" - my eyes are very tired from rolling.
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!

Love this.
If you live in Georgia, or any other red state, check to make sure your voter registration is still current.
I think I understand why the media is pushing Platner so hard on us. It’s so if he’s the nominee, they can say, “well both parties have Nazis running for senate.”
Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.
This is a huge glaring issue right now. Courts generally ARE doing fairly well, even including significant number of Trump appointees. The corruption is concentrated in scotus.
I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.
Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
As you see the reports out of Texas SD-9, keep in mind: This was the cash discrepancy.
Money speaks -- but it's not as loud as it used to be.
the extreme Texas gerrymander that set off all the redistricting wars is almost entirely predicated on the assumption that the Hispanic Republican shift in 2024 was permanent and could perhaps even be expanded on so we are now at DEFCON-2 for something extremely funny happening in November.
The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
This part. Celebrate every victory, large and small. Celebrate each other. Celebrate the love and solidarity that hold you together. Never stop doing this. It's fundamental.
Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x
Every time one of these gelatinous chuds advertises what total wimps they are I think of the Freedom Riders in Montgomery looking out the bus windows at a crowd of white people armed with pipes and baseball bats waiting to beat them to death.
And getting off the bus anyway.
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
I just want people who are seeing the crowd pics to know, every single piece of Mpls infrastructure was strained to the limit today to get people there. I’m able bodied and prepared, was outside for 2 hours and still never made it bc our trains downtown were never meant to be packed like they were.
"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!"
"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'
