Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

@kim.senate.gov oversight isn't the answer.

Political Scientists would call it a "tactical concession" (RRS' Spiral Model). Human rights and democracy campaigners need to make sure it leads to more gains (positive spiral) instead of stalling progress (negative spiral).

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

This family statement is absolutely devastating to read. First, it should never have had to be written. The ease with which Trump’s admin takes someone’s life, and in this case a citizen, is disgusting and wrong. 1/2

Fixed my snowblower, so central jersey is no longer going to get any snow this weekend. You're welcome.

The people are saying it loud and clear: ICE is dangerous, violent, and operating with impunity. Our elected leaders must seize this moment and take bold action to block any more funding of ICE's operations.

Outgoing NJ governor Phil Murphy pardoned a killer driver on his last day in office. The driver was the son of a powerful South Jersey Democratic boss. That looks pretty corrupt to me. A killer hit-and-run driver, who stuck and killed a pedestrian. www.nj.com/politics/202...

Minneapolis schools are closing because non-white families can't go outside and Senate Dems are like "ok but you gotta buy some body cameras for ICE"

Abolish Cory Booker. Jonathan Ross was so well trained he trained other agents. “New legislation I'm announcing will require ICE to adopt rigorous training hiring standards, and for their agents to wear body cameras.”

This sign looks like a ransom note. Also I didn't see anyone actually push the button to active the mid-block crosswalk signal.

Give me liberty or give me death.

NJ Residents Here is a phone script from @bikejc.org on the damaging e-bike bill that is about to be put to a full legislative vote on Monday. A6235/S4834 Call your Assembly Members and Senator today. www.njleg.state.nj.us/legislative-...

ICE out of our cities!

ICE doesn't keep our communities safe.

I was sent the full, 4:30 video, so I am posting it here in two parts. Part 1:

About god damn time.

I'll be at the #TRBAM next week in DC and looking to make new friends! Let me know if you want to meet up.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

New speed camera replacement just dropped in Ford’s Ontario

Who needs a village when you can have parking lots?

NJ State Senate Democrats join Trump’s war on the environment with new Scutari bill

Great, Highland Park next.

State lawmakers are restricting access to safe & affordable mobility options while not actually solving any safety problems. Add your name and tell Trenton to hit the brakes on this bad e-bike bill! actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

This week, our colleague Dr. Mark Bray came under attack by Turning Point USA’s Rutgers chapter for his public scholarship. Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Read our full statement here: https://loom.ly/BDXasRY

No you don’t understand. They can’t give you public transportation because then you wouldn’t be spending a bunch of money in their system

I think "pain only hurts" is my new favorite phrase.

Does anyone know of a good way to do a wikimap in #AGOL? Trying to collect community input using points and lines. #gischat

Union Station is also where a lot of people enter DC for protests.

Go comment. Bike lanes make our communities safer and better.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

People who work the overnight shift at Waffle House are basically first responders and should be paid accordingly.

My joint statement with @booker.senate.gov on the Trump Administration's Firing First Assistant Desiree Grace.

Last night in Metuchen. Toddlers love public spaces!

Become ungovernable

There's no justification for using Twitter, folks. Not saying you have to delete your account, but if you're actively using it... come on.

If ya'll know anyone interested in a transportation planning job in Princeton, NJ focused on safe routes to school and vision zero, send them my way.

"I know it's a good bill because the left hates it." Is something I heard a congressman say on the radio this morning. Is this really how we want to govern? Can we make a two-thirds majority a requirement for everything so maybe people will have to learn to work together again?

“Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I would love to see more of this kind of analysis in NJ.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Amazing that nearly all 535 members of Congress - ostensibly some of the most ambitious, power-hungry people in the country - are acting as if they’re totally fine with being made irrelevant.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

Letter: In Minnesota, as we mourn Melissa Hortman and her husband, we ask you, Utah, to remember Mike Lee’s lies and cruel jokes when he comes up for reelection.

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”
