I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.
One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise.
Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families.

Excellent informative video from @katmabu.bsky.social on how best to support food pantries right now. Giving recurring money donations to them is a great way to help, as they have access to bulk discounts ordinary shoppers won't, and can help them plan efficiently. youtu.be/GwmAQubx65s?...

Don't forget transcripts for video and audio. These will help blind users and low-vision users, deaf and hard-of-hearing users, people with ADHD, and people with audio-processing disorders. Transcripts also benefit search engines, people in quiet spaces, and people in a hurry.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Here's my piece for @lawfaremedia.org on my experience covering the Sandwich Guy trial. Warning: longer than 280 characters!

Sandwich Guy, Thrower of Hoagie–Or Hero?
The trial ended in an acquittal. But the proceedings felt like a strange sort of performance art—highly amusing and highly menacing at the same time.

This was great to attend and give blood to, I love that you and your team are settings things like this up in our community. Thanks so much!
Thanks to everyone who came to our office to donate blood and join the bone marrow registry this Halloween!
We gave away over 100 hot dogs, 15 pounds of candy, signed up 50 people for the bone marrow registry, and collected 28 units of blood —which is more blood than in three people’s bodies!
