Watch @kendallyb.bsky.socialtalk show was how Kristi Noem is living rent free in military housing that is reserved for coast guard leadership in order to better hide her affair with Corey Lewandowski. This is causing a ripple effect to active duty service members not getting base housing

Check this shit!

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.

Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

CW: Sexual assault

Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Yes. Collapsing all fed law enforcement into one undifferentiated, untrained, masked force.

"Agents said they worried the changes would transform the FBI from an investigative agency focused on national security into something more akin to a federal police force..."

John Deere announced that it will lay off over 200 workers, citing the economic uncertainty created by Trump's tariffs.

Workers aren't just paying more for everyday goods now because of tariffs, their jobs are also on the line.

It's a recipe for a bigger economic disaster.

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Appreciated this chance to discuss being cancer survivors with the incredible Laura Packard, and how we’d much prefer to get a vaccine than to go through cancer treatment again.

We’d prefer this for everyone else, too. 💕
As a cancer survivor, I went through many months of suffering. I may face life-long side effects, and additional cancer risk. If I could have taken a vaccine to avoid all this, I would have. Who wouldn't?!
