I’m ashamed

The police fired rubber bullets at Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi while she was reporting live from Los Angeles

This was no crossfire. The cop aimed and fired deliberately. A journalist, live on air, was shot at. Outrageous.

This is the goal. Who can stop them?

If you can't prove your citizenship well enough to to vote...

...then you can't prove your citizenship well enough to keep from being deported to a South American prison.

Chuck Schumer is everything that’s wrong with the Democratic Party.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Bilingual Indians are too funny with it because they’ll say something in their mother tongue (to someone who knows mother tongue as well) and then repeat it in English to add emphasis.

"Kids might die, but Robert Kennedy can keep cashing in," Sen. Elizabeth Warren says during a heated exchange with #RFK Jr. over whether he would agree to not taking fees from suing drug companies.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Spread Information not panic When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! S.A.L.U.T.E. Size/Strength "5 to 6 Armed Agitators" Actions/Activity "Harassing random people on the move" Location & Direction "Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St" Uniform/Clothes "Dark Jackets, ballcaps" Time & Date of Observation "8:32 PM June01" Equipment & Weapons "They have Body Armor and Pepper spray" Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" Use your Judgement!

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

Pete Hegseth’s got a resume worse than Hunter Biden

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications "How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"

On Monday, Trump tried to redefine “male” and “female” by fiat. I spoke to @kateclancy.bsky.social about the bad science, and Kellan Baker and Kulsoom Ijaz about what it means for trans & pregnant people.

Call log showing multiple calls from the dept of justice

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Good to hear that my university (Leeds) is completely withdrawing from X. I hope others follow suit.
