Amber Speaks Up @amberspeaks.bsky.social · 7h

I covered politics as a reporter more than a decade ago.
I’m back in the swing and I have some news for you, America:
The divide isn’t political anymore — it’s ethical.
Corrupt or not.
That’s the line now.

Yes he did, and I applaud him for it.

So Republicans... two weeks from now ... when TSA and air traffic controllers are no longer getting paychecks and the economy is tanking... Will you still be protecting the pedophiles? Just asking for a friend. #resisttheregime

Do things you like. If you feel rejected you’re dealing with people who don’t deserve you.

Anybody rejecting you is probably someone with bad judgment. Keep going on with your life.You will find good people who appreciate you and deserve your attention. No point in getting all wet for no reason.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Nathan Newman- ANTIFA Since Nazis Murdered Family in Death Camps @nathansnewman.bsky.social · 18h

Making buses run faster may sound almost comically modest for a self-described democratic socialist.

But Mamdani’s push for fast buses is more radical than appears, since it targets who controls the most valuable resource the city owns: the streets. /1

The Revolution Will Arrive on Time: Why Mamdani's Fast Bus Socialism Is More Radical Than You Think

Mamdani's promise to Speed Buses is in in the Tradition of the Sewer Socialists Who Strengthened Local Control of Urban Infrastructure

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Today, Sen. Tim Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration's decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Over 700,000 southern Arizonans still don’t have representation in Congress, more than three weeks after we elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Democracy means honoring the will of the people. Speaker Johnson must do the right thing and swear her in so she can get to work.

I like to the way you think. Obesity, anti-vax, DUI, abusing their wives and kids and irresponsible gun ownership should reduce life expectancy. We can hope Iit works.

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.
