Gerrymandering is gerrymandering

I appreciate that they helped explain ERO vs HSI last night. When people say abolish ICE, they really mean abolish ERO & CBP (which isn’t even under ICE). This letter asking for HSI to be removed from ICE is from 2018 and signed by Special Agents in Charge at most or all of the regional HSI offices.

If you’re in the Denver area, put this on your calendar for next Sunday the 22nd. Rallies for Ukraine tend to be a little less intense than some others, so it’s a good one to attend if you’re not an experienced protester. #supportukraine #denverprotests

NEW: The @wired.com Security desk put together a comprehensive guide to filming ICE—with tips for reducing risk at the forefront. No paywall, but please consider subscribing to help find these kinds of resources. And stay safe out there. www.wired.com/story/how-to... www.wired.com/v2/offers/wi...

In the same vein as the new Springsteen song. #protestsongs #solidarity

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

I have to share some good news. I keep a tally of books coming in and going out of my little library and we’ve distributed almost 400 books since September! This makes me hopeful for our reading future despite what the reporting says. #readingisfun #littlelibrary #freeyourmind

Every 👏🏽 Blue 👏🏽 State

Have you all seen this? #iceout #stpaul #thisisamerica

This is the most detailed video report I’ve seen so far. (Please be aware, they do not blur out an image of her in the car after the shooting.) #minneapolis #JusticeforReneeNicoleGood

🇻🇪 Is anyone else unsure of how to react to the US involvement in Venezuela? He was a terrible person so I’m happy for everyone in the country (and those who have been forced to leave) BUT I want to protest the illegal actions of the govt. How to react to the dichotomy? #venezuela #solidarity #wtf

The best thing about chronic memory issues…I can rewatch movies & shows and reread books without honestly knowing where the plot is going. #limoncellofromlemons #functioningforgetfulness #brightside

Can’t stand his politics (and most likely his personal views) but I can’t deny Sen Eric Schmitt is a great surrogate for the Administration whom they should be rolling out more often. I can appreciate interview skills (that I wish I had) while also being disgusted with the talking points.

Remember the lessons of the past - an old @60minutes.bsky.social report about the bravery of three soldiers in the face of the horrific brutality by Americans at My Lai. #unlawfulorders #realcourage

One of the six former EPA employees who filed appeals yesterday.

Today, six former EPA employees filed First Amendment legal challenges to their firings for signing an open letter protesting the politicization of science at EPA. PEER is serving as legal counsel for one and co-counsel for another. https://ow.ly/l3Om50XBovv #FreeSpeech #StandUpForScience

I always think Newsome is faking his voice like Elizabeth Holmes.

Official licensed PBS is Punk gear is back in stock at Two Crow Collective, which donates part of the sale to PBS - as opposed to other merchants who sell copies online. Got my t-shirt and sticker yesterday! twocrowcollective.com/collections/... #twocrowcollective #pbsispunk #pbs

Before I cancel my Hulu/Disney subscription I absolutely had to watch the Lilith Fair doc (produced by Dan Levy). Went twice and still the best experiences I’ve had at a music festival. I miss it so much. #lilithfair #buildingamystery #womenrock

I have a non-official little free library. I keep an excel spreadsheet inventory including title, author, genre, sub-genre, condition, date added, date removed (based on when last checked), etc. I am ridiculous. I love it. It makes me happy.

Just got my covid and flu shots like I do every year but this year it feels like an act of rebellion.

Here’s some additional background on Rachel Ray’s misguided lobbying for the continued use of dangerous cookware. #pfas #darkwaters #safecooking

Register to attend a Stand Up for Science virtual rally to support the FEMA staff who were just put on administrative leave for signing the Katrina Declaration - on the 20th anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Remember! They are doing this FOR YOU! #Hurricanekatrina #50501colorado

FEMA staff who signed the recent declaration have been put on administrative leave. Keep supporting federal employees who speak out! They’re doing it for all of you! #standupforscience #publicservants

What would you have on your protest playlist to get you motivated?

The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

If you get a chance, listen in on the EPA’s public hearing on the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. Here’s the zoom info for 8/19-22: usepa.zoomgov.com/j/1612886000 Here’s more info on the terrible and sweeping consequences of repealing this important finding: thehill.com/opinion/ener...

I’ve been avoiding outdoor protests this week due to the ridiculous heat, so I’m really excited about the overpass protest on Saturday - hopefully under 90 degrees AND a covered pedestrian bridge. Come out & wave at cars as they drive to the mountains on Sat. It’s really fun! #denverprotests

Denverites: come out and support the Social Security workers Thursday, August 14 at 11am. They NEED your support right now! #denverprotests #supportfederalworkers #socialsecuritystrong

And people wonder why EPA staff would dare sign a Declaration of Dissent…https://www.standupforscience.net/epa-declaration

Overpass protests are great! Especially if you don’t like crowds.

I'm attending Indivisible Colorado's event, “August Speaker Series” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblec...

I’m really excited about having some competition among the dems in very blue Denver!

Here’s a super simple website with info on protesting for beginners with some specific info for Colorado and federal employees. solidarnoscnow.wixsite.com/solidarity-now #denverprotests

If you’re in the Denver area, make sure you stop by one of the overpass protests this week (they are organized I think every week if different locations). They are really fun and the organizers bring all of the giant signs. www.reddit.com/r/50501CO/co... #denverprotests

This also applies to activism. 1% beats 0%

Expected. Terrible. EPA offered yet another round of buyouts and early retirements to employees, targeted at people in the offices being reorganized. That includes those in the Office of Research and Development, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance etc www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

In support of the EPA who are now out till at least Aug 1 due to signing the letter. This select video in the series below, features an EPA friend. youtu.be/H5uolIWdgW0

The EPA extended the administrative leave of 139 employees who were publicly critical of agency leadership by another two weeks late Wednesday.

The EPA knows PFAS are toxic. Its own scientists proved it. And yet, it’s caving—stalling action and siding with polluters. Brave #EPA employees discussed this & more in their #DeclarationofDissent - and 139 were put on admin leave as a result. Support them here ➡️ zurl.co/c3ucC zurl.co/WKqrH

And this is after they’ve reduced staff at the VA. Wtf are the service members supposed to do when they’ve been broken by this

Is this the “Mission Accomplished” moment?
