No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

This is the problem. The GOP claims accuses opponents of supporting election insecurity. That’s utter bullshit. Make universal ID free and easily accessible to everyone. Done.

Don’t be fooled. These other attacks on voting rights quietly tucked in the text are the REAL purpose of this bill.
🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would:

Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges.

Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

@maddow.bsky.social given the latest nomination of Kevin Warsh as #FedChair and ALL the baggage he’s dragging around, don’t you think it’s about time to resurrect “the wall”? Obviously, instead of tallying departures, it would detail conflicts and corruption. Just gobsmackingly unbelievable.

If ICE and CPB can forcibly enter this man’s home BY MISTAKE, violating his 4th Amendment rights with no consequences, they can forcibly enter ANYONE’S home—even yours.

If ICE and CPB can ignore the 4th Amendment, they can ignore EVERY amendment, and the Bill of Rights means nothing.
ICE used a warrantless forced entry to arrest a US citizen with no criminal record. Rather than acknowledge error, they smeared the family, saying they were harboring sex offenders and critics were defending sex offenders.
Turns out that one of their targets was already in jail. ICE never checked.

Currently, the organizational leadership of ICE/CBP is telling agents to be more aggressive, not less. This fits with a pattern of impunity we see with authoritarian security forces. For example, the are rewarded for the number of arrests, which incentivizes indiscriminate arrests.

New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel.

This is the wrong metaphor for ICE and CBP. The barrel itself is rotten. 🧵

@sanders.senate.gov after listening to your interview w Chris Hayes this evening, I hope your talk of rallying freedom-loving Americans is serious enough to take real action.

We’ve protested, we’ve contacted MOCs, we’ve been clear that we DON’T want a dictatorship.

It’s time for a General Strike.

If you have any loved ones in nursing home care, it’s time to formulate a new plan for their care.

It’s hard it is to find a bed now, and it’s only getting worse w the Boomer bottleneck.

Add to that crisis $ 880b in mandated Medicaid cuts. Don’t be caught off guard.

It’s time for a #generalstrike. It’s
almost too late. I suggest we all urge 50501 to set a start date and put out the call. It has to be at least days, maybe weeks. Some suggest a 3 mo consumer strike.

It sucks, but what’s the alternative? Marching around won’t force change.

DOGE employees are non-govt with NO LEGAL AUTHORIZATION to enter private agency spaces or compel employees to break the law in releasing protected records.

They are trespassers.

Great work. Now here’s another DOGE creepy character who shouldn’t be anywhere near US government computers (or anything else):
NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.

Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...

Democrats voting No for Trump nominees should be taken for granted, yet you are grandstanding over one vote while a coup is taking place down the street. How about refuse to conduct any Senate business AT ALL until Musk testifies in committee, in person, under oath? How about some monkeywrenches?
