Honestly, if I somehow ended up with that much money, it would be SO MUCH FUN to give it away. I’ve had small tastes, and it’s just the best. Getting to call people and tell them that you’re giving them money?! Unparalleled.
BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth.

“Overall, over half of the 1,265 likely voters surveyed do not believe the ICE agent was justified in shooting Good, while 36% condone her killing.”
It’s been the same “36%” who have stayed steadfast all the way through, and voted for him 3x. I’d like to have a word with them…

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.
I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.
People are DONE.

The FBI is investigating whether the shooting of Renee Good is linked to “paid protesters”. WTF. Not if it was murder.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
