If you’re in the mood for content creation I’d love to learn about getting a tech job in Europe, because, you know, reasons back here in the US.

I wonder what would happen if people put AirTags on #ICE vehicles and posted it somewhere so people could track it? @aoc.bsky.social @piperformissouri.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.org

Years ago we had a hummingbird feeder, it gathered lots of regulars and we named them. One would hover and stare in the window like WTF? if we let the feeder run out.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Hey @piperformissouri.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social I think we need an app that lets a person donate an amount to their reps’ opponent every time Trump does something horrible, & it notifies the rep by tweet, so when Trump bullies someone, Josh Hawley gets hundreds of tweets about the donations

Hey. I'm a journalist in Atlanta. I write for The Guardian and Rolling Stone.

If you work for the federal government, and want to connect in person to discuss the illegal and unconstitutional activities you are seeing inside your agency, send me a note via Signal.

They can't kill us all.
