Arguing since birth. Urban planning, politics, weather, Drag Race, and photography are all fair game. Opinions are strictly my own—unless others agree. I assume that strings of emojis in people's bios are their washing instructions

Secretary Noem must resign or be removed from office. I support congressional action, including the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, to ensure accountability and justice.

Michelle Obama tried to make school lunches healthier and it was a national scandal

The Trump administration is telling people to survive on boiled chicken and broccoli and it's treated as rugged bootstrapping

I very much want to see Congresswoman @replsimon.bsky.social join with Congresswomen Crockett and Kelly in publicly calling for Noem's impeachment

I'd also like to hear some affirmative support for abolishing ICE

I've already called Rep Simon's office about this, and so should you!

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.

We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

I know it's cliche to say stuff like this at this point, but if someone had written this into a geopolitical thriller even 2 years ago, they would have been regarded as a hack

If Kamala Harris had said this would happen, the media would have suggested she was experiencing psychosis and seek help

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

I know it's frustrating that this is not like 60/40 for the Democrat, but this represents a 9-point drop for Collins from 2020 margin of victory and a 37-point drop from 2014

Congressional Democrats need to do everything in their power to force congressional Republicans into difficult votes
Maine - Senate Polling:

🔵 Platner: 50%
🔴 Collins: 50%

🔴 Collins: 51%
🔵 Mills: 49%

I think local news outlets could profit by doing a lot of these

Can you imagine if federal agents under Biden had murdered a white mom or broken people's car windows for, say, refusing to socially distance or wear a mask?

There would have been calls for impeachment from every elected and every major media outlet for weeks. And it probably would have happened.

Can you imagine being such a spineless blob of Republican jelly that you continue to show loyalty to a doddering sociopath who says this sort of stuff about you?

How much mindless thirst for pomp and prestige, how little morality or even self-respect does it take to be Paul, Murkowski, or Collins?

Put civilian commercial airliners at greater risk of getting shot down with this one neat trick!
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

The US economy (or at least the stock market) feels like Wile E. Coyote off the cliff but not having looked down yet

If Congress (and by that I mean mostly GOP congresspeople) can't grow a spine and get der Großpapa under control, the stability on which the overall US economy relies will be wrecked

In another timeline all the ICE goons could have been not radicalized/taught to hate, trained as high-skill construction workers, and could right now be building the housing and renewable energy infrastructure that the US needs

They could be living lives we could all be proud of

Reality is tragic

Thinking about getting these printed up as posters and/or stickers. Any thought/suggestions?

I have a theory that one reason why ICE has tended to focus on more suburban areas (even within the larger cities they've descended on) is that if *this* is what happens when they go to more spread out areas with lower population density, imagine what would happen on the streets of SF/NYC/Berkeley

We have agents of the government kidnapping people, murdering moms, and now threatening peaceful protestors with murder, but some very smart people still want to tsk tsk us over using the word fascism until the fascist loading bar hits 100%
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The fact that so many elected Dems don't even have the courage to call for impeachment and the abolition of ICE, while everyday people show incredible bravery in the face of grave, immediate physical danger at the hands of Trump goons is, frankly, enraging

The fact that so many Democrats are unable to speak as plainly and honestly as AOC increasingly leads me to believe that, for many of them, they would be perfectly willing to allow the regime to do virtually anything as long as they got to keep their job in a rubber stamp, Vichy Congress
Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Y'all, they don't actually believe the video is exculpatory

They are releasing this video to show their goons that the regime will apologize for and protect 𝘢𝘯𝘺 level of loyalist depravity

They are telling everyone to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears

Dems, you must try to shut this down

When the federal gov't is murdering moms, lying about it, obstructing justice, and fabricating accusations of domestic terrorism, we must shut it down

If we don't, this won't stop, it will get worse—just like some of us have long warned

This road leads to camps and death, we must stop walking it
