Don’t go numb. In Portland, ICE agents blocked an ambulance and allegedly threatened to shoot the driver while a patient waited.
Where’s accountability?
ICE, history has its eyes on you. 🧊👀
Demand answers.

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 18h

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

First photo is what Noem says in the video. Second photo is what DHS sent me in response to me asking if Noem was aware that many municipal airports have policies against political advertising.

They did not respond to my follow up email.

“Hi, I’m Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. It is TSA top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government and because of this many of our operations are impacted and most of our TSA employees are working without pay. We will continue to do all we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.”

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

"It is TSA's top priority to ensure that travelers have the most safe, pleasant and efficient airport experience possible. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, most of our TSA employees are working without pay. While this creates challenges for our people, our security operations remain largely in impacted at this time. It’s unfortunate our workforce has been put in this position due to political gamesmanship. Our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government."
