Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Silence is complicity. Every Member of Congress who refuses to honor their oath of office by invoking the Impeachment Clause against Trump is aiding and abetting his daily assault on the rule of law. @johnbonifaz.bsky.social @jessicadenson07.bsky.social #ImpeachTrump

The Trump admin's attempt to classify trans individuals as violent extremists is the latest move towards a full Nazi state.
MAGA is scapegoating a weak minority in order to enflame hatred, consolidate power, & eliminate perceived enemies.
Let's be crystal damn clear:

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

Wild that Ted Cruz is such an uncultured doorknob that he thinks of Dominos when he's searching for a pizza place in Illinois.
Ted Cruz: "I don't want to get between JB Pritzker and the Dominos Pizza line, but I'll tell you what I am willing to get between -- him and his open doors for every human trafficker ... "

Attention podcast ad producers. I hate ads. I don't want to hear them. But I have to be honest. I SO VERY MUCH don't want to hear Malcolm Gladwell telling me about" AI agents & assistants automating workflows & streamlining data" that I would happily listen to 100 other ads if you just shut him up.

YES! Yet another reason I am PROUD to live in New York State.
17 states have filed a lawsuit to stop the illegal intimidation of Healthcare providers to stop providing gender affirming care to trans youth.
They're bringing APA and 10th amendment states right claims.
