i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

Honored to be selected as Vice Ranking Member of Oversight Committee(Democrats) with my friend Rep. Gerry Connolly.

We'll be checking Trump's power & shining a light on every attack on our rights and freedoms.

We didn't play in the 118th & we're not about to start now.

Buckle up, buttercup.

Withdrawing from the WHO will cost the US dearly in terms of money and lives.

The best way to make America healthy is by working together with the world on our shared goal of eliminating diseases that affect us all, no matter where we live.

When they decide that they can just change the meaning of a provision of the 14th amend to meet their political agenda, they are contemptuously manhandling the framework of the protection created for Black people in this country.

We better have something to say.
To my own community: this is not just about immigrants.Trump has set up a challenge to the meaning of the provision of the Constitution written & ratified to ensure our full citizenship. We must protect its integrity in full. We can never be silent when the 14th is attacked. It is our legacy.

How to protect your health from wildfire smoke:

Evacuate if active fire is too close

Wear a high quality mask with headstraps; N95s are great, P100s are most protective

Stay indoors, and close your windows and doors

Run air purifiers on high to filter smoke that seeps inside

As Amazon workers threaten to strike before Christmas, Trump says he's planning to meet with Jeff Bezos this week.

"He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation, and my point of view, if I can help him do that, I’m going to help him," Bezos said recently.

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.
It's extremely hard to convey to the average cis person just how bad the harassment of trans people on social media has gotten and how aggressively we're targeted, because if you've not been on the receiving end of it for years, you can't really grasp how relentless it is, and how isolating it is.
Since about 2018 it became hard to say anything about being trans on that platform without constant demands by clearly anti trans groups to debate them over our own experiences or prove ourselves. This was after maybe 2 decades of us using the internet to share our experiences with normal cis people
