He’s describing remote, robotic assisted ultrasound where there’s a sonographer or maybe an OB operating it from a different location. This is new tech that’s been used in v remote locations w limited access to med care. The idea that Alabama would be in that category is shameful.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

"Minnesota shows what happens when governing & content creation merge" I would word it: "....when a president refuses to govern & is more concerned w being a taxpayer-funded TV producer." Content creation, indeed. He wants endless B-roll of "sanctuary cities on fire!!" for his pearl clutching base

When you grovel before Trump and give him your Nobel medal and thank him for invading Venezuela you're pretty much guaranteeing you won't ever lead the country, right? In other news, pissed-off CBS staff are leaking like crazy.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

The craziest thing about this episode is that DT is a corrupt traitor who is in the Epstein files.

Trump, and likely Miller who is the guiding force behind all this, think the Insurrection Act is a "I win" button. It's not, at all, he's right that it's been invoked before and he should really look at those circumstances. Invoking it for Minneapolis likely weakens his position long-term even.

Remember that Big “Beautiful” Bill the GOP was bragging about last summer? The one that slashed $800B from health care while shoveling $170B to ICE. Congress controls the purse strings. If we take back the House, Dems will be able to stop diverting health care funds for ICE.

The DT administration is using ICE to make urban lives in blue states more miserable. To try to weaken us. Good luck with that! This is spreading solidarity.

We released the film #UNFIT in 2020, a few months before the election. It largely introduced malignant narcissism and gaslighting into the lexicon and warned about ... so much of what we're seeing now. This was a :30 spot we were able to air one time during Fox and Friends.

Rep. Angie Craig: "There's no way in hell I'm voting to give one cent to Trump and Kristi Noem's ICE. I won't send one penny to these people who are terrorizing the people of Minnesota. We also should pass a bill that will prevent them from going onto schools, into church, into daycares ... "

On Thursdays, we write to Speaker Johnson & remind him who he works for: bsky.app/profile/book...

what does he do about the fact that in most states midterms and statewides are on the same cycle, so "canceling the elections" might mean that tennessee doesn't have a governor next year. how does he convince tennessee republicans to give up power in their own states?

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Oh, of COURSE they did. They may as well have salted the earth of the Republican Party. How can it come back from so many betrayals?

EPSTEIN UPDATE: today I’m expanding my follow-the-money investigation of Epstein’s financing by examining his transactions at another Wall Street Bank, BNY Mellon.

This kind of hate has no place in our country, and we all have a responsibility to speak out against this antisemitic violence.

Remember to celebrate every win, big & small. This week I'm celebrating the daylight between the Senate Republicans & DT. There has been so little of this in the last year.

Luckily the statute of limitations for many of their crimes will last longer than this administration will, so they better think long and hard on that.

To possibly understand why they’re going after her—this piece makes it clear that she has talked to possibly thousands of government sources that are concerned what is happening to the government. To put another way, she is a “one-stop shop” for dissenters. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

-Joe Rogan calls ICE “Gestapo” -Another US citizen terrorized by agents -FBI raids home of reporter investigating Trump -Denmark sends military to protect Greenland -DOJ investigating Democrat senator who called out Trump “illegal orders” That’s just the last 24 hours.

"It should go without saying that this is not how a normal president speaks. Virtually all previous presidents have understood themselves as they are: agents of the federal Constitution." @jamellebouie.net in the NYT

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

Iranian and Georgian protesters stand side by side outside the Iranian Embassy in Tbilisi in solidarity. Iranians have been protesting here daily, and today a larger rally brought many Georgians out in support. #FreeIran

If you're planning to go the the Frontline Diginity Rapid Response Training on January 20th, check out the rally before hand! Sign up for the training here: www.eventbrite.com/e/dignity-in...

Attention🚨: ICE is on BLUESKY‼️ PLEASE report them & block them. BLUESKY PLEASE REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY‼️

Hoping the Dems to unify to refuse funding the government as-is. We can’t vote to fund ICE. Call your reps and tell them not to fund the government as-is on 1/30.

Sen Mark Kelly was right, our Military Commanders are following illegal orders. bsky.app/profile/cons...

AOC ain’t lying:

Pictured: Headlines at The Hill Let’s celebrate every bit of daylight between the Senate & the White House. This is NOT unconnected to the pressure brought by We The People. Every bit of pressure has & will help us end Trumpism. Keep going. Keep voicing our best American values. Imho it’s working.

🚨🚨🚨DOOR SIGN FOR ICE @zach_monarch on TikTok created this printable notice to ICE agents that can be displayed on your front door. Please share! ‼️ #pinks

The Minnesota AG has filed a lawsuit against DHS, ICE & the CBP for the targeting & use of force against the citizens of Minneapolis & the citizens of Minnesota. youtu.be/fY8yD1Ar7nQ?...

BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly sues Pete Hegseth, DOD, and others over Hegseth's censure of Kelly and effort to reduce his retirement grade, alleging violations of the First Amendment, due process, Speech & Debate Clause, and federal laws. Kelly is represented by Arnold & Porter.

YES!! THIS.

Germany also never had 250 years of democracy in their institutional memory. There are more of us who want democracy than don’t. Let’s act like it.

ICE needs to gtfo of our cities. They have overstepped their juristiction. Their actions are unconstitutional. They are offering cruel solutions to a non-problem. Immigrants make America thrive. ICE is detrimental to America. The democratic, peaceful, solidarity reaction to ICE IS the USA I 💙.

Journalists used the F bomb on air when they witnessed the Twin Towers falling on 9/11. No, not in anger, but in surprise. Some moments catch us like this. The gestapo shooting an unarmed citizen & justifying it? Yes, frustrating & angering. This question posed to Frey is a disingenuous one.

15 years ago on this date I started a journey in New York City to 365 blogs and documented on a blog called, “A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars.” Now, on this 15th anniversary, I'm doing it again on the MBIP blog here in Peoria! tinyurl.com/y24zh54y #MBIP #Peoria #Bars

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Not quite, they’re still having a hard time getting total control and We the People aren’t going to stop fighting until we prevail against them! Full stop!!
