US Citizen, with a valid drivers license, is traumatized by ICE at a checkpoint if FL.

Her crime, per ICE — she didn’t roll down her window far enough.

All of this…because they couldn’t be bothered to check her ID.

What are we doing? Why are these gestapo tactics being allowed to continue?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

The Latest Centrist Memo to Democrats Is Bad News for the Party and the Planet To win back power, Democrats must organize themselves against oligarchy--and that means rejecting the latest shoddy centrist recommendations.

The latest centrist report to Democrats, “Deciding to Win,” is a tendentious mess, writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social‬‬. Its methodologies are shoddy, and its recommendations include giving up on the fight for a livable future.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.”
