Pro tip for protests: turn off the biometrics (face/fingerprint) on your phone. Courts have ruled that biometrics aren’t invasion of privacy but they have to get a warrant if your phone is locked with a PIN. Join a No Kings 2 protest near you!

For all the insinuations that the event’s organizers are oriented to violence, Indivisible, the organization sponsoring No Kings, has an extensive track record that shows a longstanding emphasis on safety and nonviolence. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-r...

House GOP needs to get to work. Rep Mike Johnson and his colleagues are getting paid for not working while federal civilians aren’t getting paid for working! Swear in our new Rep from Arizona now! Then, release all the Epstein files!

They are breaking the law and asking to be shot in self-defense. We have the right to keep and bear arms to protect us from this unlawful behavior by our own government. It's our last resort when the fascist Trump regime attempts to violate all of our other constitutional rights.

Just continuously reminding myself, and out loud here in case it's of any help to others, that bravery is not the absence of fear but rather a determination to act despite fear.

Mandami is the type of leader we need right now…I pray that New Yorkers recognize that!! #MamdaniForMayor #FDT #StephenMilkerLooksLikeAPenis

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

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.

ICE is unamerican! They are boys with anger issues. Talk down to them and treat them like fools!

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 1d

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.
