No Kings advice for today, don’t take the bait from the undercover 👮🏻‍♀️ riding up and down the street yelling at protesters to break the law. No one here fell for it. The stakes are too high to be muddled by that shit.

Talked to Disneyland employee today who said, ICE stopped employees from entering their parking lot last night. Asked for their “papers” and when shown REAL IDs asked the if they were fake before finally allowing them into the lot. These were masked men who told them “citizens don’t work this late”

The FBI is disbanding a squad that handles investigations into members of Congress and fraud by federal employees, according to people familiar with the matter, a move that comes as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate or marginalize units responsible for public corruption cases.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is “a censorship bill” that will lead platforms to take down all kinds of legitimate content because they won’t have time to sift the valid takedown requests from the malicious ones, EFF’s @irmck.bsky.social told the @washingtonpost.com.
Analysis | Melania Trump joins push for law on deepfakes, nonconsensual porn
The First Lady rallied support for a bill that would criminalize nonconsensual imagery and require social media platforms to take it down.

Everyone go thank Elon for my thrice deployed, twice injured veteran sister's service.
Here is my wife Joy. She is holding a piece of the rocket that almost killed her on her last deployment to Iraq in 2020. She suffered a serious traumatic brain injury that day. This was not her first near death experience.

As a retired employee of the US Treasury, it is appalling to see Musk and crew having access to confidential information. They have not taken the oath of office or been elected. My job was on the line if I accessed unauthorized or breached confidential information.

There was a time that imposing a tax on certain imported goods would result in Americans rising up against their rulers. These days the rulers just have to lie to them about what a tariff is and they cheer the tax they're forced to pay.
