a few things I want people to get from this:
-how tense it is here. I was death-gripping the steering wheel during this, even watching it makes me tense up
-how organized the community is. the rapid response networks are ENORMOUS and highly effective
-how completely the city is united against ICE

We’re so proud of the way community showed up to protect our neighbors today. Just as a federal judge ruled last night, we know that observing and showing up for each other is not a crime. We need everyone to keep patrolling in the streets as we fight against the hate coming at us.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

This will doom the EU-US trade agreement and start a discussion on using the anti-coercion instrument against the US.

And yet earlier today, a child, **A CHILD** was threatened by an ICE agent in MN that he would shoot her in the head if she didn't shut up while she was exercising HER First Amendment Rights. bsky.app/profile/male...
Would your child be traumatized if this happened to her for him?

Would you be?

Never miss an opportunity to talk about #ICELawlessness with your neighbors.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

The president issued a raft of clemency grants this week, including pardoning a woman he had given relief to once before and a man whose daughter had donated millions to a Trump super PAC.

Your daily reminder that we need the Epstein files released. Last night Pam Bondi decided the courts don’t have the right to enforce the Epstein Transparency Act. See the video in the first comment. We need to flood Congress with calls. No one is above the law. Remind them!
