Oh, c'mon... I got hit by a car. No, seriously. I wear this stupidly bright reflective jacket so I don't get hit by cars. And i got hit by a car. 🤦‍♂️

Plain‑language breakdown of ICE’s new skip‑tracing contract, how it hands power to private vendors, and why it risks wrong‑door enforcement. Call to action: urge your elected officials to demand accountability. This can't become precedent. brigadierworks.notion.site/ICE-s-Skip-T...

'Operation Charlotte's Web'? Really? Did we have to associate an #ICE dragnet with a beloved children's story? #KristiNoem that's pathetic.

ICE has issued a vague, fast-moving skip-tracing contract that lets a private vendor define its own data standards—creating serious risks of wrong-door enforcement, mistaken detentions, and renewed fear in immigrant communities. #SkipTracing, #DataPrivacy, brigadierworks.notion.site/Skip-Tracing...

I'm unashamedly anti-Trump. I won't vote for anyone I can't trust around my daughter. However, the man has one admirable quality. He is unapologetically himself.

I wish people would stop turning No Kings into a bipartisan issue. It's not anti Republican, it's antiauthoritarian. It's anti tyranny. And, yes, anti fascist. Republicans only feel singled out because their chosen regime is all of the above.

Whites make up 58% of the population and cast 71% of the votes in the last election. Now we have a President who is a rich white criminal fascist. I love the energy in the No Kings movement, but I don't see this being addressed. Sources in comments
