Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Thunberg said, “If Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors.”

I love thrift stores. Look what I found this time. A caserole dish with a lid, a gingham shirt and some fun jeans. 👖 #thriftstorefinds #thrifthaul #sustainablefashion #shopsecondhandfirst

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 9d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

“Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand.”
Shrimp, in any form. I got bed food poisoning in college.
The Exorcist- couldn’t even watch the whole thing. 😱
I can’t think of a song but if I hear banjos playing, I’m out.

I can't see any scenario where tear gas is an effective tool in rounding up immigrants.

If immigration enforcement was their primary function they wouldn't even be carrying tear gas.

ICE deployed tear gas near a church in a residential neighborhood in Chicago.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Quote I must share- “In Senegal, when someone dies, they say their library has burned.” What a sad but accurate way to acknowledge the loss of all someone knew and experienced in their life.

If you like to read or you spent your childhood at the library you will really get this book. It’s the true story of the burning of the LA library in the 1980’s. It was the worst library fire in US history. It’s a eulogy to what was lost & a love letter to all libraries. #booksky #thelibrarybook
