I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

This is why we’re out in the streets - you cannot defend the actions of people who would lie to kidnap 1st graders. Any human being with a conscience is going to take that personally.

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social

Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

The anti-due process White House is saying we just need to trust the judgment of quota driven ICE goons who have already been caught repeatedly getting it wrong.

In case you hadn't noticed:

The NIH is also now in talks with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to broaden agreements governing access to their data, Bhattacharya said. In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, which will be integrated into the data. Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, but said their selection would be "run through normal NIH processes."

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes?

Fuck ALL the way off.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Exactly. In the article he mentions his three “full time” employees and doesn’t say a peep about the people he hires seasonally. Fuck him and his vote.

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

Please repeat over and over:

“Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

—Gov. JB Pritzker

I blame NFTs. Especially the creepy ape ones.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

In "How Democracies Die," Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt wrote that democratic backsliding "begins at the ballot box." Strongmen get democratically elected, then turn institutions into "political weapons, wielded forcefully by those who control them against those who do not."

A little good news…

Do I smell a 25th Amendment coming?

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We are so fucked

The United States is going to remain in thrall to fascism for the next 40 years at least, until every fucking baby boomer & many of my fellow Gen Xers are dead. There is no opposition. 99.93% of currently elected @democrats.org are either spineless, feckless cowards or in the tank for billionaires.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app

I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now

Thanks for your service to our country

Lots of things besides vampires bite. You just can’t *suck* too.

don't act surprised when militants treat american civilians as legitimate targets. the US has been killing entire buildings full of people on the basis that some guy's girlfriend lived there; this is just the first time we see a text screenshot of the vice president immediately replying "excellent".

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

Yoooo, @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, where you at?
