ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target!

use the website boycotthomedepot.network and the toolkit at bit.ly/boycotthomed... to spread the word!

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Leave it to NPR to both-sides domestic terrorism and violence.

The are no similarly-sized left counterparts to the Three Percenters, the Proud Boys, the unstable people who live on a diet of hate radio.

There are a few wackos on the left, but only a few.

The right is a clear and present danger.

We’re gaining ground!

We're within the margin of error on our most recent poll and our support is growing faster than all our opponents!
+3 for Kat since our last poll!

I'm in my 70's and couldn't be more thrilled to see this generational fight in the Democratic Party. The cemeteries are filled with indispensable people, and - with few exceptions - the elderly need to step aside. Those exceptions are the ones who think young and who are in good shape for their age

This needs to stop. It’s murder, and these ship commanding officers can’t use the Good German defense. Where’s the proof they are drug boats? Even if they are, seize them like we used to.

Predictably, not many Republicans are saying anything.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

YES!!! Arizona isn’t playing.
Mike Johnson thinks he can hold democracy hostage, but Adelita Grijalva is done waiting for permission to get to work for her constituents.

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

I’d vote for whoever AIPAC refused to endorse.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 1d

The fact that AIPAC won’t endorse me is an endorsement in and of itself.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Prior White House renovations were done by practical people with good taste. They made the building more functional without sacrificing its architectural and decorative refinements.

The current renovations are being done by a shockingly vulgar man and will tackily undermine the building's beauty.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop
