I may never recover from this (even though similar ppl exist in my realm).
Oh jeez, Ed. Not more for me to bookmark! 😆 (I do appreciate your curation on the Bluesky, which I like to imagine you pronounce “Blooskeee.” 🐴
Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."
Very cool!
Indeed, why? I suspect we know.

This thread is really important to read in full, and articulates why fighting unjust detention by ICE is so difficult. It also confirms why I decided not to look for a new job in the US after my layoff and move back to Canada.
All that talent in one space has to create tension. I mean, Bert alone. (The full concert from which this is taken is fab!)

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.
This is personal — to every one of us.
Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
“and then our goons will kidnap that life and send it to a concentration camp if we deem them the wrong color”
We really can do this.
Just …. every single day.
