By all means, impeach Noem. But please let’s not kid ourselves that if she’s gone the problem will be solved. Someone as bad or worse would slide right in.

This is so much deeper than that. #AbolishICE

Democrats must take a stand and refuse to fund this deadly violence.

Not another dime for this regime's brutality.

BREAKING: DHS says federal agents had body cameras on during the shooting of Alex Pretti.

RELEASE THEM NOW ALONG WITH THE AGENTS NAMES.

Who agrees?

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency ‘coronapistes’ or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”
New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution
Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

In today's @nytimes.com, @barryfriedman1.bsky.social and I argue that, with no *other* means of pursuing accountability for lawlessness by ICE, local/state prosecutions become not just legally viable, but necessary—both to punish past abuses and to deter future ones:

Trump, criminal-in-chief, self-described paradoxically as the "law and order president," spends his days ranting against the trial over his White House ballroom, while his fascist regime turns the country’s streets into scenes of murder. Ironic, isn’t it?

Thank you, Jesse Welles for speaking truth to power. When it's done through music, it has a lasting power and magic.

A conservative dark money group got a pro-ICE ballot measure on Colorado’s 2026 ballot yesterday. Hopes of using it to squeeze swing district Dems and juice GOP midterm turnout may backfire, given current events.

Thank you, @philweiser.bsky.social I was at this protest; maybe other elected officials were there, but Phil was the only one I saw. #PhilforGovernor
Renee Good and Alex Pretti should be alive right now. Standing shoulder to shoulder in solidarity in peaceful protest to protect our democratic republic. Please, get engaged. If you see something, say something; report any misconduct by federal agents at COAG.gov so we can take appropriate action.

An effective general strike takes a tremendous amount of organizing. Can one happen? Yes, with a lot of hard work and with multiple groups coming together in agreement.
The general strike in MN was agreed to days ahead, & used the coordination of hundreds.

I want to see unbridled, threatening outrage from my elected.

Not a measured response so as not to offend cult voters that hate democracy and would never vote for them anyway.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
