Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day: -using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities -seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties -prosecuting 2020 enemies -extorting states for sensitive voter data www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

what we are watching unfold right now is wrong. but you know what's also wrong? not making as much money as possible.

Calling my senators again. My script: "Will the measures Ds are proposing for the DHS funding bill free Liam Ramos and kidnapped people? Will they guarantee congressional access to and oversight of the concentration camps? If not, you must vote against the bill." Find your reps here: reps.fyi

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Calling the Gestapo “the Gestapo” is causing the Gestapo to act like the Gestapo.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis

LOL Andy Kim's DC voicemail is full. Well done NJ! 💪

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?

So it’s another blackmail effort.

We’re at the stage of dystopia where I see this and go “oh, rad, so helpful”

One year ago: "Democrats are seen as the Party of Betrayal. Republicans will screw you openly. Democrats pretend to have your back and then stab it. You should not vote GOP unless you enjoy being screwed, but voting for a Democrat feels like setting yourself up for the particular pain of betrayal."

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

The cave is on. This is toothless bullshit. @chuckschumer.com wants Trump to promise that he'll pay Tuesday for a hamburger today, and he thinks we're gonna fall for it again.

Community is how we keep our communities safe. That's why our team is partnering with the NJAIJ to host an emergency legal observer information session tomorrow with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social to learn how to document ICE/immigration enforcement officers' conduct.

Guy is offering free media training for ICE observers! TAKE HIM UP ON IT, WE NEED MORE/BETTER MEDIA CONTACT

It is vitally important that Democrats (and the media) frame this properly. If the government gets shutdown it is because the GOP insists on DHS, ICE and CBP continuing to occupy American cities and trample the rights of US citizens.

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Begging people to please stop posting @halfwaypost.bsky.social's fake stories. It's not even satire. They're not satirizing anything; they're just writing fan fiction. If you look in the replies to any of their posts, it's like 95% people who think it's real. They should stop it.

A lot of people are going to react to the title of this without reading the worthy content.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Because everything is gender, I bet if you made #ICE wear pink uniforms, the vast majority of them would instantly resign.

@booker.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social Here are my demands for the DHS funding bill. 1. No money for ICE or CBP, only for other parts of DHS 2. Provide Bivens remedy 3. No masks 4. No military uniforms 5. No gas 6. No guns at all, just batons 7. Real oversight of detention centers

The main weapon against the Trump Administration being the rape whistle is just one of those too on the nose to be real except it's happening things

WATCH: Chris Hayes joins Minneapolis ICE Watch volunteers on patrol to hear what they’ve witnessed over the past three months.

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social reports live from the site of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. "History is being made here in Minnesota. It is being made by the people who live here who refuse to give in or to give up."

finally a good dating app

Has anyone been able to identify the “if you raise your voice, I erase your voice” agent? Because that’s someone who, for public safety, should be named and identified and warned about.

You're going to tell their employers, their neighbors and their schools that they were out on the streets bravely defending their community from the masked goons who are murdering and terrorizing people? Are you going to send them flowers and candy as well?

NY/DC corridor media speeding right to the absolution of Trump and missing the fact that nothing has changed in Minnesota, despite his alleged change in tone

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

@eleanalittle.bsky.social Is this snow removal particularly bad, or am I just not able to remember the last time we had this much volume?

HELL YES FUCK UP OUR TECH COMPANIES MONEY TALKS

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter. name a fucking high school after him.

@menendez.house.gov Sounds like a reasonable way to make the Border Patrol stick to the actual border.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

I have genuinely *never* seen an NYC mayor get an ovation from a TV crowd before. I thought we were contractually obligated to boo them.

Alexander Vindman, who became a key player along with his twin brother in President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, announced that he is running for the US Senate as a Democrat in Florida. https://cnn.it/4ag319M

To the extent you have any education, consult with any legitimate news sources, know anything about what's happening in the world, you vote Dem. To the extent you don't, you vote Republican. The fun thing is watching pundits strain mightily to cast this as something *negative about the Dem Party*.

This is one of my favorite charts because the obvious implication is ... obvious, but you absolutely are not allowed to say it out loud in US public discourse.

The truth is that the right wants to use the same playbook it used against the press, whining about "liberal bias," but for LLM chatbots. And it's working! All the AI companies are responding to this by injecting right-wing bias into their models www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
