This but for everything we would want from a new government. What could good government look like here?
Really want the academics and think tanks to start churning out pdfs on what tribunals and truth and reconciliation commissions look like. Political leaders are absolutely not going to come up with this on their own.
Would happily take time to help write and edit any of that, too.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:
"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?
ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.
I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

@warren.senate.gov as your constituent I would not vote for someone who continues to fund ICE, let alone increasing $, and neither would my family & friends
.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE?
Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

If we're building huge gas power plants in the south to power new data centers, that's really bad for the climate right now. And we have no viable near-term pathway to regulate methane leaks (Republicans in Congress killed it)

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Why are famous chefs fighting PFAS bans?
The answer, in retrospect, is obvious—and it’s part of a larger campaign to stop bans on Teflon cookware nationwide.

I would not only vote but actively campaign for someone who was stopping this evil instead of facilitating it.

I would really love if our governor @massgovernor.bsky.social was actually doing something to protect people from being kidnapped from her state, instead of continually saying she's "happy to work with ICE."
