I don’t know why Trump has RFK Jr speaking on the sperm counts of teenage boys when Speaker Johnson is obviously the expert in MAGA.

"We’ve been sending up well-tested people for decades, and the country is in worse straits than it’s ever been. It’s a mess right now, and it’s a mess that is, in my opinion, built specifically by the political class. And it’s time to do something different." - @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

I don't usually repost youtube info, but this is an exception...
In this video, I talk about how important local independent media has been in surfacing ICE abuse.

I should have included public defenders in there, too, bc with their help, these cases are crumbling.

Kind of fitting that a guy that hates women so much, starts turning into one. Karma 😂

Why Not? Most “real” police officers around the country wear them now and even the “real” police support their use!

"But we can't do it because of the shutdown."

"I don't care. Do it, or I start jailing people for contempt."

Their next argument will be “You didn’t say they had to be turned on”, or “You didn’t say we had to save the footage”, or “you didn’t say the camera could not be aimed at my shoes”. And in the end, it’ll be “FOIA request denied”.

They all should be required to wear them along with name tags and badge numbers. All of their vehicles should have license plates, too.

If they're not wearing a camera, they're not a federal immigration officer.

Act appropriately when they come to your neighborhood.

It’s unlikely that ICE will follow this judge’s orders so please, always keep recording!
Reposted by Katniss E.
The decision came after footage revealed the use of tear gas and other aggressive tactics against peaceful protesters.

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

Newsom: We were under the understanding that we were going to close I-5 — up to 80,000 vehicles tomorrow and Saturday. They seemed to have backed off of that. They were going to move forward with a display, but they’re not clearly sharing that with state officials.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
