More on the ICE facility. 🤬

Call your legislators.

#AliyaRahman is #Autistic +has a #BrainInjury.

She was ON HER WAY TO THE DOCTOR when #ICE
❌ Gave her conflicting messages
❌ Crashed through her window
❌ Cut her seatbelt
❌ Dragged her OUT OF THE CAR
❌ Zip-tied her
❌ Detained her FOR NO REASON
#AbolishICE
Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

I also think "he was literally selling pardons, none of these are legitimate" is a great message.
we should proceed with prosecutions with the presumption that the president cannot pardon crimes he ordered to occur while simultaneously advancing court-packing legislation.
It's so cool how we just accept that federal accountability is dead and the president will just pardon any federal crimes as easily as he pardoned everyone for January 6, and we just live with this fact instead of tearing down the rest of the White House around him.

I’m with @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social - CLOSE DOWN #Dilley NOW‼️

It can be done.
No child should be there.

NEW: @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social is calling for Dilley Immigration Center to be “shut down immediately.”
Dilley released Liam Ramos. But hundreds of children who remain in the facility are facing a measles outbreak. The highly contagious disease can be deadly.

Go #Australia!! ☀️☀️☀️
Australia’s grids world-leading

Renewables on east coast now >50% penetration
In the west > 55%

And both still growing

With no signs of instability (indeed grid reliability scores are actually increasing), scaling storage and renewables can marginalise gas entirely, slashing emissions and costs

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.

Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

“Put that in your book, boys.”

When we have federal agents treating the shooting of an unarmed citizen as a trophy moment, we should all be outraged and demanding action of Congress.
Rep. Robert Garcia to Marimar Martinez: "The agent linked an article about your shooting and texted…'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys'…It's our understanding that he was actually bragging about his aim shooting an unarmed American citizen."

#California, take note!!
There have been more than 219,000 cheaper home batteries installed since July last year – that means more Australians are taking control of their power bills and using their own clean, cheap energy when they need it.

A community is devastated after ICE raids an LA church and arrests a congregant during a church event.

“This was a violation of our Sacred Right to Worship and Serve our Lord Jesus Christ Freely and Safely.” ~ Church officials, in a press release

How about e-bikes???
Electric AVs may cut some pollution, but physics doesn't care if cars are autonomous.

They still take the same road space.

One bus lane moves 10x the people of a car lane, period.

Cities need both: AVs for sprawl, transit for density

It is hard to fathom how inhuman, sadistic and disgraceful it is for government agents to be lurking at elementary schools to seize kids and use them as hostages. To send little kids to concentration camps. To refuse needed medications. Truly, American Gestapo.

This story is a Kafkaesque nightmare.

One of several examples: the government does not give you the option to identify yourself correctly in the paperwork, and then shows up to arrest you for failing to identify yourself correctly in the paperwork.

Maddening, and well worth the read.
Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to having a unique status among anyone born in a US state or territory.)

Now the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.

Months of reporting in this story:
Americans by Name, Punished for Believing It - Bolts
In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public official...

I tried to call to ask a question and they told me:
“Everything has been moved to the states, call the California person.”

One person for 8 million students.

725,000 students with #SpecialEducation needs.

Complete garbage.
“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what an Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials.

Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

“A lion (United States) being eaten alive by rats ( #Trump, #GOP, #Billionaires) “
it's shameful in so many ways, but it's also humiliating domestically and embarrassing abroad that the globe's leading democratic state for a century is on the brink of failure on the eve of its 250th anniversity, and from the likes of the GOP and Trump and billionaires, a lion eaten alive by rats

National Guard troops will stay in Washington DC through the end of 2026.

Their continued deployment will cost taxpayers over $1 MILLION a day.

If that weren’t enough, Trump wants another HALF A TRILLION for the bloated Pentagon.

But somehow there's no money for healthcare.
