@padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov, your turn to step up.

"Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience." Thank you, @amandagorman.bsky.social.

"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution

i've got one eye on WWIII; one eye on civil war 2; one eye on a pandemic that hasn't gone away; one eye on a pandemic-yet-to-come; one eye on rising cost of living; one eye on fewer jobs; one eye on 1x-in-a-century storms that come every yr; one eye on fires; one eye on my neighbors to keep 'em safe

Members of Congress should be openly stating right now that military action against Greenland will result in impeachment and removal of the President and the Vice President.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Jonathan Ross was in military and law enforcement roles for decades. He was not poorly trained. He did what he was trained to do. ICE and CPB are unsalvageable and must go.

This is what the US has become. JFC.

When people argue that renewable energy sources are too expensive, remember that we don’t invade countries to seize wind farms and there are no solar cartels. Fossil fuels have enormous geopolitical, public health, and climate externalities.

So nobody is coming to the world cup right you can’t reward this regime with tourism dollars right

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Aside from the ever-present "every accusation is an admission," it is striking to me how different his social media posts are now. The sentiment was vile, but the style was basically normal 13 years ago.

JFC!

While the government yells baseless accusations about queer people being "groomers," more and more gentry get outed as disgusting, serial child sexual abusers in the Epstein files. Every accusation is a confession. Never forget that.

Pressure and protest work. #ProtectTransKids

This entire weekend

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Here's what I'm following for news about the Brown shooting.

Brown was my community for a while, and I still know people there. I’m worried sick about this situation. The Orange Menace needs to keep his mouth shut if he can’t be helpful.

Well, this is chilling AF. The Department of Education is suing Penn (in their quest for "combat antisemitism") requesting detailed information about Jewish faculty and staff. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 1/2

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

I have been so worried about this. Hope it stands and the state department doesn't invalidate my kids' passports.

It’s pretty simple. When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Republicans want you to starve.

Man alive. The contrast between the courage of voters and the absolute cowardice of Democratic leadership is just undeniable and the story of the moment. The question is which will win out in the end and that question just got a whole lot louder.

Cuomo, once again being reminded, in a ruinous fashion, that no means no.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

GOP: “We want to exterminate trans ppl from public life” Dems: “maybe we should think about not doing that“ Nyt: “dems double down on making trans rights the centerpiece of their policy making agenda”

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Getting ready for tomorrow. #NoKings

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Trump straight up murdering people in the Caribbean and the NYT writes this

How the media are gaslighting trans people

Donald Trump cut funding for pediatric cancer research.

Left: Wow. We need gun reform. Right: Wow. We need to put the left in concentration camps. Media: Ok. It's time for the the left to bring down the political temperature here. Enough is enough.

Shana tovah to my Jewish friends and good luck in tomorrow’s Rapture to my Christian ones

This project out of the University of Maryland showing data about radicalized individuals in the US is *fascinating* and worth your time. www.start.umd.edu/profiles-ind...

Thank goodness. We should all have access to the COVID vaccine, especially since we are currently in a big wave.
