What are some songs you dig that most people on BSKY probably haven't heard of? Post a link, not just the song title. I'll go first in the comments.

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

I am looking for brave values-driven candidates. Not the ones depending on poll-tested shifting politics

My point—the singular theme of my campaign for Congress—is this:

Whatever your specific policy priorities and preferences may be, wherever you think the public interest should take us, we can’t and won’t get there unless and until we …

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
• She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
• She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

I'd say we've lost control. The people at the top are all criminals and we need to take their power away.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

It's too late to clean up my act now. I'm hoping people choose to stand together refusing to back down. #icesucks

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I support "abolish ICE" because the agency culture is one of lawlessness, terrorism, and rampant theft and abuse. There are times when a situation is too broken. You cannot rebuild on a cracked foundation and create a functioning structure.

I think we need to review how the attorney general SHOULD work. Didn't they used to investigate the presidents?

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

A dude got in a hit and run accident by my house today when I was working from home. Went out to make sure he was ok - flustered, but unhurt. Another dude walking his dog also stopped and got the plate before the car drove away.

Take care of each other. ❤️

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Looks like I was thinking about CIRCA from the UK.

This is pretty good reading. I was looking for a training video on it--it was from an EU protest/clown group . If it turns up, I'll post it.

Dear Americans I have voted by post for many years. It’s safe and secure with almost no fraud because of the checks. Nearly all civilised countries allow it. Trump lies only to restrict voting and to allow voter intimidation at polling stations.

Koh: I wish that Kristi Noem had as much passion for homeland security as she has passion for Corey Lewandowski.
