Not all heroes wear capes.

I hope this is true.

During the shutdown, federal sites faced bathroom access issues: at Yosemite, the only locksmith was fired, raising lock and security concerns, and at 26 Federal Plaza, bathroom locks were changed, forcing employees to rely on cleaning staff for access. Did it happen at White House? Not verified.

Donald Trump is specifically targeting New Jersey, cutting projects that’d build infrastructure and lower energy costs.

We need a governor who is going to stand up to his lawlessness, not rubber stamp it.

We need Mikie Sherrill.

The cruelty is the point

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

Guyana has really changed. There’s a construction boom, people are getting taller (health outcomes), and infrastructure. The Chinese are building in Guyana and the only Western companies are fast food giants and the Hard Rock Cafe, bigger nicer homes, newly paved roads

One of these days "ICE agents" who refuse to identify themselves are going to get themselves, er, ground-stood, and there's honestly a decent chance the feds can't get a conviction because good luck convincing 12 Americans "defending yourself against unknown masked kidnappers" is murder
