"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.

Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

If so then we must evict them too. Weed some out in midterms, remove the weak and compromised from leadership (Schumer and Jeffries).

When this national nightmare is finally over, no pardons. No “This is necessary to heal the country.” Public trials. Jail time. We need to expose, convict & punish every corrupt & complicit one of them.

{𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: Trump is converting the Guard into a domestic police arm —𝘋.𝘊. 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦 ❝𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬-𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯❞ 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵— with Stephen Miller helming recruitment. Legal footing looks shaky; the aim is intimidation. 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅-𝒐𝒏-𝑮𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒔. 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

T rump’s new executive order aims to weaponise the National Guard for domestic policing — starting with a special unit inside the D.C. Guard and scaling to a nationwide ❝quick reaction force,❞ plus a recruitment portal for civilians with law-enforcement backgrounds chaired by Stephen Miller. Legal experts warn there’s no statutory basis to federalise Guard units to police local crime, and the move chills dissent — especially protests targeting the commander in chief. Veterans' advocates and former officials caution the posture risks interstate confrontation if Guard troops from Republican-led states deploy into Democratic-led states over governors❜ objections. Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker has already drawn a red line. Ret. Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton sketches an alarming ❝blue-on-blue❞ scenario: American units on opposite sides of an internal political divide. The kicker: the crackdown follows a year when federal officials touted D.C.’s violent-crime rate at a three-decade low, underscoring the political logic behind the order rather than a public-safety imperative. ❝I have the right to do anything I want to do.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
