I love reading, Star Trek, and politics. We have a civic duty to be involved and further the lives of others. That means voting! #TeamPete she/her

You can't understand Trump and the MAGA movement without recognizing the central role of anti-Blackness to their strategy. @aapf.org's new report is essential reading for anyone invested in building the multiracial movement for democracy 👇
Our new report, Anti-Blackness Is the Point, out today reveals how Trump’s second administration has worked to roll back 60+ years of civil rights and equal opportunity. From racist narratives to book bans, the attack is coordinated and historic in its scope.

GOP is -14% on the general ballot in a new poll. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
This poll number hasn’t been so favorable for Democrats since before the last blue wave
According to a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, a majority of voters say they would rather elect a Democratic candidate if the midterms were held today.

The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.
And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

This is terrifying
Presumably, the first Avelo jet had picked up some ICE detainees in Reno before flying to Las Vegas.
ICE keeps detainees shackled during flight at the ankles and wrists. They can't raise their hands.
If the cabin lost pressure, did the masks drop? Did they just hang there, in front of their faces?

Amid everything else I had almost forgotten that even without a pardon, Trump has offered Ghislaine Maxwell amenities unexplainable by anything but some sort of quid pro quo.
Raskin on Ghislaine Maxwell: "The fact she was able to be transferred to a prison camp where no sex offenders had ever been allowed to enter before, much less live there, is an indication they've got some kind of meeting of the minds about what Trump can provide to her & what she can provide to him"

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇
