Uh.

while I think folks generally understand how Trump's birthright citizenship order threatens a ton of newborns now, I don't think it's fully appreciated how it also threatens everyone bc if he can arbitrarily revoke citizenship from them, why not from you? ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

NEW: After a top supporter of the SAVE America Act said married women and anyone who changed their name could face new voter registration barriers, backers rushed to falsely claim the bill includes exceptions. The reality? It doesn't, and would roll back progress on women’s voting rights.

We need to redefine “national security” and what makes us safe. Making sure people are fed and housed makes us safe. Healthcare makes us safe. Renewable energy and climate solutions make us safe. Imagine if we funded these instead of bombs.

This is your regular reminder that a well fitted respirator like an N95 offers superior protection compared to a surgical mask. They can block covid, flu, rsv and more. They protect you and those around you. Can’t afford one? Check out a mask bloc! If you can afford it, please donate!

It’s not just digital. It’s not just friends. There are so many little things that…ripple? And come back. Little pieces of a life.

For clarity on the current situation…

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse. 1/2

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

lol. Imagine thinking or even saying OUT LOUD (regardless of what you think) that ex-kgb Putin has been “nothing but straight” with you.

😕

You know it’s the best social because #dragrace is trending in a good way.

“A federal agent fired shots through the driver’s side window”. Sound familiar? That’s exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed. This 23 year old lost his life and ICE’s involvement was covered up for a year. They’re killing people and hiding the evidence.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Some people didn’t watch Sesame Street growing up and it really shows. It’s never too late to watch tho, and never too late to change your mind.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

A happy #caturday indeed. Half way through FIP treatment. I wasn’t sure this guy would still be here with me today six weeks ago.

True story

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Honestly, fuck the NYT. They have sucked for so long, and been such enablers…

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

So great to see my schools meals for all ally Sen.-elect @ebpforva.bsky.social earn election to represent the 39th District tonight! She’ll be a policy-focused, workhorse addition to Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus. Congratulations to EBP and Del.-elect @kirkmcpike.bsky.social on their victories!

This is sickening.

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections. Here you go, I list and explain them one by one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Omg. My time has come. I can’t figure out if this is a curse or a blessing.

Wishing former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn the best in his run for Congress. If anyone deserves to win, it's him. time.com/7368907/harr...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...

For those keeping score at home:

"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights while exporting armoured vehicles that will be used to terrorize communities”: @greenpeaceca.bsky.social calls on MPs to halt export of armoured vehicles to U.S. immigration agency ICE www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Geraldo Campos was begging for his asthma medication the day he was killed in an ICE camp. Imagine having to beg for basic medical care and life saving drugs? That’s the reality for detainees. DHS has been trying to deport the witnesses after Campos’s death was ruled a homicide

“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...

Abolish ICE. No one is illegal.

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one. Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

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.

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

No one is safe under authoritarianism.

No one is safe under authoritarianism.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey all, we are looking at a very serious weather event this weekend. As it unfolds, post updates on how things are where you are located and images, too. We may be able to document the impact of crippling NOAA and FEMA. Stay safe #WinterStormFern CC: @rebelfema.altgov.info @roguefema.altgov.info

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”
