We stand with Minnesota and echo the calls ringing out around our country to abolish ICE. No one should have to fear leaving their home. Reach out to your legislators encouraging them to pass our bills that will keep Georgians safe.

The research of Dr. Gladys West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, laid the groundwork for the GPS.
Thanks in part to her, anyone with a smartphone can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions.

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS.
Without the mathematical model that she helped refine, “the extraordinary positioning, navigation, and timing accuracy of GPS would be impossible to achieve.”

Federal immigration agents detained a 5-year-old prekindergartner named Liam Ramos this month. His classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”

The fact that they’re using facial recognition to blacklist people, while wearing masks and committing crimes…. Well, kind of speaks for itself

We are now in a full-blown constitutional crisis.
That’s why following the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, I sent three separate letters demanding the dismissal of all charges, a congressional hearing, and a DOJ Inspector General investigation.

As a retired criminal justice professional, I want to remind everyone that—almost certainly—none of the vengeance investigations and prosecutions Trump and Bondi have coordinated will lead anywhere.
But 1) they'll terrorize their targets' lives, 2) eventually Trump will start using military courts.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Look, if ever I accidentally and awkwardly moved my arm in a way that represented a Nazi salute, I would be bending over backwards and screaming from every mountaintop that I didn't mean it and it was unintentional. And I would be doing that immediately.
