In today’s “Don’t threaten me with a good time, Mister” sentiments……. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

The Dude has spoken:

"ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"

Once again, I’m wondering why Democrats aren’t running with a straightforward message of “despotism is un-American and unaffordable” right now and all the way into the midterms.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

i could write a tome about how fucking embarrassing it is for journalism that someone as morally bankrupt as bari weiss has ascended to the highest levels of money and power by tickling trump's balls but instead i'm going to keep covering the people hurt most by his terror and giving them a voice.

Get your lawyers on this and do what Oregon just did. Words are great, actions are better!

Hey mainstream news media. Maybe do your job and let people know just how fucking crazy this guy is. He’s trying to start a civil war.

Short thread...

This week ICE fascists:
•Attacked & detained Black U.S. Citizen children in Chicago.
•In a Chicago hospital ER, arrested Alderman Jessie Fuentes for demanding they show a judicial warrant before arresting someone.
•In Broadview, IL, arrested US Veterans peacefully protesting.

I don't even want to see what my premiums will be next year!

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

“both sides” 🙄

I am so disgusted with just how evil this all is. These weak, insecure men cosplaying as ‘strong’ and showing this to ‘prove’ their strength. It’s just so…. you‘re right. It’s mid.

Lying liar who lies

Please remember this in the days going forward:

Everything going forward could have been avoided if Republican Congress members simply did their job and obeyed their oath to the Constitution.

It’s that simple. They abandoned the country. They can say what they want, but that’s what happened.

Donald Trump and the GOP own this shutdown.

Simply put, they want to dismantle our public goods and commit state violence against marginalized people—and that’s what they’re fighting for.

That’s the agenda they’re prioritizing over the people’s business.

We will need folks like this in the coming days/weeks.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

UnFun Fact: Donald Trump was the “President” during the last government shutdown.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

If I’m running messaging, the word on the street is that Democrats are refusing to fund a dictatorship. Either Article 1 means something or nobody gets anything.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

At event in DC, Sen. Chris Van Hollen keeps it going with Hakeem
Jeffries over not endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: if you can’t back the kind of campaign he ran, “don’t ask those young people to show up for other Democrats across the country — that’s the message that will be sent.”

It’s so discouraging. I voted for Kenyatta in the primary. I’m no longer a registered Dem because ::waves arms:: but hope they primary his ass. He’s such a disappointment!
