Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.
He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

@safety.bsky.app you must reinstate Sarah Kendzior immediately. She is a shining light of clarity, reasoning, and resistance. If she's been accused of anything I can only assume it was done by a coordinated right wing attack.

What's the big deal about using the notwithstanding clause pre-emptively?
It's not the end run around the courts that bothers me most.
It's the refusal to ensure the rights breaches are necessary, minimal, proportionate, and justified in a democratic society.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.
