An ICE agent killed Renee Good, yet it’s my colleague @replamonica.bsky.social who faces prison time for conducting oversight at an ICE facility.
This is political retribution by the Trump regime—protecting Jonathan Ross while targeting those who demand accountability.

I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.
Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

I’ve probably posted a dozen threads about the NE 65th St bike lane, but the situation is getting ridiculous, as you can see in the video (one of the UPS vans was here for an hour). How do we get an ‘ever better bike lane’ here?

After one day of unity over Trump the Mail, the Telegraph, Times and Badenoch have decided the Chagos are more important than the destruction of the western alliance and backed the insane ramblings of a rogue president who was fine with the deal last year. We see you #collaborators
Choosing sides between a rogue president bent on destroying the Western alliance and UK and EU governments finally standing up to him shouldn’t be difficult for mainstream political parties or news organisations. So come on Telegraph, Times, Badenoch and yes you Farage if you want to be PM…
