Nature at night, cars are not people, lover of law—not lawyers, agency & self-determination are essential to democracy and rule of law. No lists, just chatting DMs.
Where might one look for wasp nests if they keep on appearing—in the house—and have a family deadly allergic to their stings?

Minneapolis residents are facing a food crisis. Fear of ICE is keeping families—especially elders, parents, and the homebound from food.

#FeedMinneapolis funds trusted local food shelves and kitchens, with a goal of feeding 10,000 people in 2 weeks.

Am for mandatory voting now.

Imagine our lawmakers actually being that—responsive to we the people.

Not doing their very best to ensure that most of us who can—legally—do not, and when do, that many a vote does not count via illegal foreign interference, tech bro vote manipulation & media control…

You don’t deprive people of fundamental rights by voting on legislation to do so.

Or I guess you do but not lawfully and not in good faith.

And good faith is required. Being a constitutional officeholder is not just a job—it is a public trust. Constitutionally.

Do we have a parliamentarian still? Confused why voting to nullify the constitution in effect by other means.

See bad faith legislation by techno-tyranny Russian Tail kind of vote manipulating pedophile protecting and leveraging for what it is already.

They knew this policy was so unconstitutional that they kept the “legal memo” authorizing this practice hidden, wouldn't let physical copies of it circulate, and a whistleblower had to alert Congress about its very existence.

Today, @merkley.senate.gov and I stood up for victims of ICE overreach — and laid out our solution to stop it.

Our new legislation lets people sue ICE and CBP for trampling on their rights. When we choose accountability, we can put an end to Trump’s abuse.

It’s our government. Only we do not authorize tyranny. We explicitly and expressly do not.

Remember when Pam Bondi sold between $1 million & $5 million in Trump Media (DJT) stock back on April 2, 2025—

The same day Trump announced new tariffs during a “Liberation Day” press conference held after markets closed — & then (DJT) fell 13% in the following days

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

The aperture was never narrow. The light was never insufficient. The problem was never that CBS journalists saw too little.

The problem is that they saw too much. And the view from nowhere is how you make them stop.

The government has time to defend an ICE shooting on TV, but not to answer the Good family’s letters to preserve evidence in Renee’s killing. No outreach, no accountability, and reported talk of investigating her grieving wife instead. That’s how authoritarian systems treat state violence.
Lawyer for Renee Good's family: There has been no outreach at all from the United States government to the Renee Good family. We have asked for the government to preserve all the evidence in this case. They are not responding to us.
