They came for black people, they came for refugees and immigrants, they came for trans people, and they came for Palestinians, and we didn't do goddamn anywhere near enough.

No one is coming to help us.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Adelita Grijalva won her Congressional race fair and square THREE WEEKS ago.

Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat her is an absolute disgrace.

Seat her now. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Who is Adelita Grijalva and why hasn't she been sworn in to Congress yet?

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

The only reason to get rid of interlibrary loan is that you prefer ignorance and illiteracy.

Shannon Mattern @shannonmattern.bsky.social · 1d

“ALL of Florida lost its [interlibrary loan] services as of October 1. This, of course, most harms those in rural communities. That means those with the most to lose and with the weakest access to education and entertainment materials are now wholly dependent on what their own library owns…”

Grant money that should be going to library projects is going to state-sponsored propaganda, among other IMLS updates.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

World War Z had a fun take on this trend.

Anyway if you're a billionaire reinvesting in your local community against climate change and economic depression impacts would be a pretty forward-thinking move. Happy neighbors don't raid bunkers.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own bunker, who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves.'

The Trump admin is laying off nearly 200 CISA employees & forcing dozens more to take new jobs at other agencies (sometimes across the country) or quit.

Morale & productivity are sinking at the already-depleted agency, further jeopardizing US cybersecurity.

My story w/ new details: bit.ly/3KLoptn

Layoffs, reassignments further deplete CISA

Some CISA staffers have been pushed out, while others are being told to move across the country for jobs outside their skill sets.

Trump and his cronies have been attacking our dedicated public servants from Day 1 — and now they're weaponizing Trump's shutdown to illegally fire more federal workers. We won't stand for it.

Tune in as my colleagues and I discuss how we're fighting back:
