“Turning the National Guard into immigration police dishonors their oath and corrupts their mission.” During last week’s shadow hearing led by @jayapal.house.gov, Janessa Goldbeck warned: misusing soldiers this way erodes readiness, wastes taxpayer dollars, and endangers our freedom.

Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh was slammed to the ground by ICE agents on camera. If that’s public behavior, what happens in the dark?

Assault and battery.

NEW: In my investigation for @prismreports.org published today, I report on how rare it is for women to obtain H-2A agricultural visas to work in the U.S. When they do, many report experiencing gender-based violence:

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

It is too early to know what motivated the shooter in Dallas, but it is not sustainable for government officials to selectively emphasize that some forms of political violence are bad, but others barely merit a mention. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

This is a serious question. No one in his right mind who really cared about this democracy and could do something about it would be as lame as @schumer.senate.gov is being right now. So what do they have on him?

First, can we make clear that Kimmel was cancelled b/c he showed the vid of Trump not caring less about Kirk's death, not b/c of what he said about MAGA.

I had the pleasure of writing Mahmoud Khalil’s entry in the @newrepublic.com’s Heroes of the Resistance issue. The administration’s latest actions to try to derail his life are unfortunately only further evidence of the steep cost of holding to his principles

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons. Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine. 💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers. Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

Make sure to boycott Nexstar as much as possible, they’re behind this (big merger is pending fcc approval). The CW, NewsNation, Food Network, The Hill, and 200 local tv stations (Google your area). Spread the word.

Boycott Disney. We are cancelling Hulu. We're cancelling our planned Disney trip. Disney stock will be sold tomorrow. Defunding Fascist Enablers is PATRIOTISM. No more kowtowing to a thin skinned fascist dictator. I'm not even a Kimmel fan but he stood up for the truth and I will stand with him.
