In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

Horsford is capturing the anger and frustration of an entire nation here. Take 3 minutes and watch this.

That’s the thing that gets me. They’re treating every one of these cases, which are based heavily on the target having viewpoints the gov’t doesn’t like, as an immediate threat to carry out a catastrophic terrorist attack.

This deeply dispiriting considering what Canada and the US have done for each other over the years. The wreckage of this international relationship is needless and stupid.

In that month, she could rape someone like Donald Trump did, I guess.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

This is a lot of words to say all they have is that she expressed some opinions they don’t like.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

This is some straight up East German secret police bullshit.

Do NOT take the bait Trump is tossing out right now.

Stay on Signalgate.

Federal immigration authorities detain Tufts graduate student - The Boston Globe An eyewitness said masked plainclothes officers arrested Rumeysa Ozturk outside a Somerville home.

Nobody should be disappeared from the streets of Somerville – or anywhere in America.

Everyone should be alarmed by the video of Rumesya Ozturk being handcuffed and taken away by agents. The government must immediately release her.

Every person on Bluesky should know:
* Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever
* Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies
* Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured
* Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic

Spoke with an attorney who was harassed by law enforcement after providing pro bono help to immigrants. Wouldn't ID themselves or the agency.

My guess is he isn't the only one. If you've experienced similar harassment or know someone who has, please feel free to reach out.

What fight? You surrendered. Today was a test and you failed it. You should retire immediately.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.

In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

It is absolutely essential to overthrow Chuck Schumer as leader of Senate Democrats. Tonight.

The recent chair of the Democratic Party is admonishing Chuck Schumer for capitulating to Trump — in case you were doubting Democrats’ united furiousness right now.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

You are capitulating to a would-be dictator. You’re a disgrace who is selling us out. Resign.

Remember when Biden's inner circle swore up down left right he would not step down? Made battleground state Dem leaders put out a letter supporting him staying the DAY BEFORE he stepped down?
Do not give up. This is not over & saying it is gives them cover.

Wonder how many of the people who didn’t like his answer here are people who claim that Jesus has a plan for the fetus someone doesn’t want to be forced to carry.

This is Musk trying to run government like a business and it perfectly encapsulates why that's bad.

When I started my company, we moved fast and did a lot of dumb things because we didn't know what we were doing. You can do that when it only affects seven people and around $50,000.

Republicans don’t give a shit about deficits. It’s a cudgel they use when Democrats are in power. That’s it. Period.

These “principles,” including small government, liberty, social conservatism, they’re all cudgels. The quicker people understand that the better.

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

MAGA fanatics keep screeching at those who come here with nothing but the clothes on their backs that they “need to come here the right way.”
