A nurse educator and leader who has dedicated her career to caring for others has spent nearly two months in ICE detention. Nurses are demanding action.
trump is a traitor! Revoke his passport! Ground air force one.
Meeting with XI and Putin is a crime against America!! A crime against all service people in Arlington National Cemetery. A crime against all US soldiers buried around the world.
I hope when the deviously cruel and corrupt rump really needs a nurse that they just ignore him and tell him to get his own medicine and refuse to change his diaper. I remember a while back when he tried to say that nursing is not a profession. He is such filthy scum. To have ICE harass and imprison innocent people is way beyond cruel. Return Dr. Lawan to her family immediately/
This administration’s intentions was never about immigration reform. It was purely about being cruel to other human beings as they pretend that they are not themselves immigrants

The following are excerpts:
“Nonviolent rebellion has proven again and again to be the most effective way of ousting even a determined autocrat.”
“Leading experts agree that the U.S. has transitioned to authoritarianism during Trump’s second term. The days when constitutional checks and balances were enough to keep a rogue president in line are over. What’s more, defeating a Republican at the ballot box no longer guarantees that he will accept defeat.
Still, Trump is not some omnipotent demigod casting thunderbolts at will upon his hapless subjects. No dictator can rule without the people’s consent. Withdraw that consent, and he is just another guy with a spray tan and a chancy comb-over.
Nonviolent rebellion—the strategic use of protests, strikes, and similar methods—has paralyzed authoritarian regimes and forced despots from power the world over. It can work in America too.
If the conventional political process is not sufficient to restore democracy, nonviolent rebellion remains the most effective tool. To counter GOP election theft, Americans might have to mount a rebellion of their own. The good news is that our fellow citizens have already produced one such movement during Trump’s second term. When jackbooted federal thugs began forcing Minnesotans into unmarked vans, Minneapolitans responded.”

From The Peaceful Solution:
The Repugnant-ones regard this political conflict as a street brawl and use the corresponding rules (none) and tactics.
The Dems regard it as a board game played in the parlor. That sort of “Resistance “ will not prevail.
Those of us in The Resistance must think beyond the midterms, about how to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the country.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending, except for essentials. Stop the fascist takeover.

With repeal of the filibuster will come the end of the ICE nightmare and a blight on American history.
The political and economic system is broken and needs a dramatic fix. Chris van Hollen is ready to do the fix with repeal of the filibuster. In looking over the D Senate caucus using the index of the filibuster and surveying past comments of current senators to repeal van Hollen has the 29 votes to become Senate majority leader. One would figure that to be the case since he would not have become a candidate if he didn’t think he had the votes. van Hollen insists that the Bluenami was a plea by the American voters to make Congress and specifically the Senate become functional and pass meaningful legislation.
The Democratic Establishment(DE) favors keeping the filibuster because its their way of killing bills that come from the House, either D or R in origin. The key is that it will require R’s to cross over in order for bills to pass with a 60 vote threshold. Fat chance that will happen. So to get the Senate functional van Hollen insists that the archane filibuster must go.
Despite Schumer’s insistence he has the votes, he personally has never committed to repeal or even reform. In the caucus there are 17 votes for targeted reform and only 5 hard NO in order to keep the filibuster in place(9%). But van Hollen has 15 hard Yes votes for complete repeal and 9 votes who either support repeal or don’t support Schumer.
That brings van Hollen’s support to 24 votes in the caucus and 5 more votes who are on the fence for full repeal versus reform. So there’s a good shot that van Hollen can get the leadership with 29 votes and perhaps more based on members feeling about the filibuster. On Fox Fetterman who has been a hard No on repeal said that he will consider moving to the Republicans if van Hollen becomes Speaker. Good riddance.
This is beyond outrageous! I absolutely am following the steps you recommend.
Me too. I signed and shared the petition, and wrote to my two California senators. Thank you, Meidas.

Let her do her job!
I signed the petition and shared it publicly on Facebook. Ice is disgusting and they should be terminated.
Every single person deserves due process. Every. single. one.
I learned about this TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE, KIDNAPPING & IMPRISONMENT, of this amazing woman only a few days ago!
I practiced as a mental health RN for almost 40 years, was a proud member of the California Nurses Association, & support my colleagues.
Thank you for spreading the news & the ways we can fight for justice.
I posted on FB a few days ago with the link to the news article that detailed this nightmare & how to fight for her release.
Good job Pam!
Totally unacceptable 😡. Why? Why? Why? This country is an embarrassing mess!
Trump mirrors Hitler.
