DHS ramps up its use of a secretive legal weapon, administrative subpoenas, which allow federal agencies to obtain your data without a judge’s order. Tech reporter @joemenn.bsky.social warns, “We are so awash in data now that an immense amount can be compiled without you ever knowing.” #Velshi

"The whole idea of the First Amendment, the idea of the founders, was to hold government to account.

President Trump's "nonsensical grievances" about his 2020 election loss are tiring voters, says @azsecretary.bsky.social Adrian Fontes. They “just want to get on with the rest of their lives and stop worrying about this bullsh*t.” #Velshi

Award-winning authors @clarebeams.bsky.social and MT Anderson share how Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” gives a clear explanation for where American society is today, a world of cultural fixation and addiction to distraction in a world of unbridled mass consumerism. #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

The Washington Post suffered massive layoffs this week under billionaire owner Jeff Bezos. “Every piece of the paper is affected. We lost all of our photojournalists.

Today's meeting of the #VelshiBannedBookClub features "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, which explores humans passively upholding authoritarian rule in exchange for mass-entertainment, tech, and comfort. Authors M.T. Anderson and @clarebeams.bsky.social join at 10 am ET to discuss. #Velshi

@ms.now host and Citizen board member @velshi.com sits down with historian Jon Meacham for an analysis of activism and state violence in this moment in American history.

Unions and labor leaders have been instrumental in political movements that shape the society we live in today. “Not only can labor challenge the oligarchy, they can challenge the corporate bosses,” author Thom Hartmann tells Ali Velshi. "Unions are democracy in the workplace.” #Velshi

Labor unions played an important role promoting the rights of workers, immigrants, and other marginalized groups building this country. As America endures another era of political upheaval, unions and other labor activists have another opportunity to make a difference in society today. #Velshi

ICE is rapidly expanding its surveillance capabilities. Critics say some of these tools infringe upon the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens & immigrants alike. Tech Journalist, @byjacobward.bsky.social weighs in, “this stuff is being deployed actively on American citizens.” #Velshi

Many Minnesotans have organized "rapid response" groups to observe federal agents and alert their neighbors of their presence. St. Paul City Council VP Hwa Jeong Kim, who volunteers with one such group, calls it "a form of nonviolent protest" to hold the federal government accountable. #Velshi

Greg Ketter, the owner of Dreamhaven Books & Comics in Minneapolis, went viral for putting words to what so many are feeling right now. He is angry. And he knows what book banning & the suppression of dissent means: “the chipping away of our freedom.” #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

Economic boycotts are a tried-and-true tool for social change. Americans are becoming increasingly aware that the Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown is only possible because of corporate enablers #Velshi

“Streets of Minneapolis,” the song Bruce Springsteen wrote the day Alex Pretti was killed in Minneapolis, is a reminder of what music brings to a movement, and a call to action for anyone sitting on the sidelines. #Velshi

Protesting and observing is a right protected by the constitution. Minnesota-based Organizing Director of the Immigrant Defense Network Yeng Her suggests the following tips while protesting: 📹 Document the full scene ✋ Keep your distance 🚨 Don’t impede law enforcement operations #Velshi

Corporate America is silent on President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown. Ben & Jerry's co-founder @yobencohen.bsky.social says corporate leaders need to speak up against injustice: "The success of Ben & Jerry's is because we used our power as a corporation to support the people." #Velshi
