I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will
/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

I don’t want technofeudalism. I don’t want newer, bigger machines that can do all my thinking and experiencing for me.
I want to read books, play my instruments, make art, be with loved ones, and spend time outside without these activities feeling like luxuries I have to make special time for.

Ready to crawl over broken glass for the first federal elected official who invokes 2009 Mitch McConnell and says that their only purpose is to make Trump’s remaining term a failure

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

Buddy, you are going to have to pull a Chris Van Hollen right now. This letter is looking real Schumerish. Go down there and put your rich white cishet masculinity to good use.
I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.
