I wonder what would happen if people put AirTags on #ICE vehicles and posted it somewhere so people could track it? @aoc.bsky.social @piperformissouri.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @democrats.org

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

Hey @piperformissouri.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social I think we need an app that lets a person donate an amount to their reps’ opponent every time Trump does something horrible, & it notifies the rep by tweet, so when Trump bullies someone, Josh Hawley gets hundreds of tweets about the donations

Just deleted my @washingtonpost.com account, as well as the app from my phone. I’m sad about this, as a long time reader. I’m moving to @theguardian.com and @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social

Hey. I'm a journalist in Atlanta. I write for The Guardian and Rolling Stone.

If you work for the federal government, and want to connect in person to discuss the illegal and unconstitutional activities you are seeing inside your agency, send me a note via Signal.
