It may be useful to call your state Attorneys General and ask them to file a lawsuit as many Blue states are doing. We are the water that gradually erodes the rock.

I hope this goes somewhere. Our streets are no longer safe. We cannot allow this to happen. Our Senators and Representative are doing nothing. The GOP are salivating over this cruelty. That doesn’t mean I stop writing/calling them DAILY and 70% of the time it’s about these abuses.

🧵⬇️ Gift article. CO lawsuit filed. The lawsuit was filed by the ACLU of Colorado and local attorneys. It challenges ICE arrest practices that have surged this year, and it asks a federal judge to rule that those practices are illegal and order ICE to stop.

Colorado lawsuit challenges legal basis of many ICE arrests of immigrants this year

“ICE … is pulling people out of their cars, taking people from their apartments, taking people from the street, all in flagrant violation of federal law,” an ACLU lawyer alleged.

Agreed. The antics of the ICE agents have caused an epidemic in this country. I’m glad people are videoing this stuff so there’s proof. I hope she finds a lawyer and sues them to obvlivion.

Try calling your MOC's 202-224-3121 re this. Also your state Attorneys General.

Try calling your state Attorneys General. They're not usually accustomed to phone calls and it should get their attention. Ask them to file a lawsuit as many Blue states are doing. Those of us who do not accept this denial of due process and the subsequent threat to citizenship need to speak up.

Call your state Attorneys General and ask them to file a similar lawsuit?There have been numerous lawsuits, some of which have been successful. Our Attorney General has been busy!

Diversity is our strength, no matter what racist, bigoted Republicans say.

Real Americans embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.

Real Americans reject Trump and his white nationalist cronies.

Trump is bad, project 2025 is bad and the people who love America, the real patriots reject both.

Excellent book by scientists, Dr Michael Mann (climate scientist, University of PA) and Dr Peter Hotez (vaccine scientist, Baylor College of Medicine). See review by Mother Jones:

Fanny Cäcilie Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805) was a prolific composer, producing over 450 works, including Lieder (art songs), piano pieces, chamber music, four cantatas, an orchestral overture, a piano trio and quartet, among others.

#GirlPower

Fanny Cäcilie Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805) was born in Hamburg, Germany. She was the eldest child in a culturally affluent family. From a young age, Fanny received thorough musical instruction—first at home, then from teachers such as Ludwig Berger and Carl Friedrich Zelter; her younger brother Felix Mendelssohn shared much of her education.

Fanny was a prolific composer, producing over 450 works, including Lieder (art songs), piano pieces, chamber music, four cantatas, an orchestral overture, a piano trio and quartet, among others. Despite her talent, much of her music remained unpublished in her lifetime, and societal norms often constrained her public role as a musician. At times, works by her were published under her brother’s name.

In 1829, Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel, a court painter. The marriage did not curb her musical output—she continued to compose and also hosted “Sunday concerts” (Sonntagsmusiken) at her home in Berlin, inviting friends, extended family and musical peers.

She died from a stroke on May 14, 1847 in Berlin; she was 41. Her brother Felix died less than six months later.
After her death, much of her music was either unpublished or wrongly attributed, but in recent decades there has been growing scholarship and performance of her work. In 2018, the Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum opened in Hamburg to honor both siblings and their musical contributions.
