ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

Republican officials and leaders need to stop having secret group chats that someone later exposes. This happened again, and the creepy crawlies under this particular rock were, in a word, insane. My write up and mini-rant in today’s piece, link in the replies.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

So Well Done @schumer.senate.gov !
The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

The Trump administration is moving aggressively to privatize the VA — arbitrarily laying off employees, lowering the quality of, and limiting access to, health care that veterans receive.

Unacceptable. We must stand with veterans and oppose all efforts to privatize the VA.

19 drones launched over several hours, from Russia and Belarus, into Poland, were not a mistake. Many of them did not carry explosives, so they had not gone astray in Ukraine....they were a probe of Poland, NATO and Trump.

They lied to Congress at their confirmation hearings. They shouldn’t be on the Supreme Court. So why are they???

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately.

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea
I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Not only will we continue to demand the release of the unredacted (other than that of the victims), Epstein files, we demand the victims be heard!
We don't care what a convicted sex trafficker has to say. The only voices that matter are those of the victims.

california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators

A Tennessee woman was denied prenatal care by her doctor because she is "unwed."

Let's be clear: the Republican agenda is not pro-life or pro-family.

If it were, pregnant women wouldn't be forced to flee their home states to get basic prenatal care.

"Every child deserves to explore our parks without wheezing from smoke or smog."

Thank you @repdexteror.bsky.social for fighting back against attacks on our air, water, and public lands. We stand with you.
Congress & billionaires want to limit access to basic needs. They will not be impacted at all & will not be there to address the impact. Will they be feeding children, offering free medicine, sheltering from the elements? I hope those of us who will be there will invite these lawmakers to help out.
But wait - you want people to work to get basic needs as you throw food away daily so will you:
- provide more jobs.... have you been in the job market lately?
- Hire those in need?
- Take a pay cut to help those you impacted?
