Hi everyone. Something it’s helpful to know here…

ALWAYS repost on BlueSky.

Likes are NOT seen by your followers, so those posts or post authors aren’t noticed or followed.

The algorithm is different than Twitter was/is.

ALWAYS repost, don’t just ‘like’.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

This doesn’t even include the ones who had pending case but he had their charges dropped.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 3d

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Trump is destroying the White House just as he’s destroying Democracy.

Rule of thumb…never quote tweet if it’s a thread you are responding to, just respond. That way people can follow the whole convo. Made sense when I heard it.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

HAPPENING NOW:
The New Liberal Action Summit is live.

If you’ve ever said “we need a new playbook,” this is where it’s being written.

Dems, organizers, and next-gen leaders are mapping out how we rebuild trust, expand our reach, and make liberalism win again.

Come for the Symone asking me how we’re gonna operationalize it. Stay for Michael Steele acknowledging this is the kind of long term thinking Dems have failed to do for decades. 😈

The fact that AIPAC won’t endorse me is an endorsement in and of itself.
