If you have an avatar created by AI WTAF are you doing following me? There's SO MUCH ART out in the world and you're probably using a phone with a camera for this platform. We're adults; I expect better.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

The remnants of Hurricane Priscilla could bring serious flooding to AZ this weekend.

I’ve urged FEMA to pre-position search-and-rescue teams, generators, and supplies ahead of time.

Preparation saves lives.

Ahead of ‘Serious Flood Threat’ in Arizona, Stanton Urges White House, DHS, FEMA to Prepare and Demands Speaker Swear in Rep.-Elect Grijalva

WASHINGTON, D.C.— As the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla are expected to bring heavy rainfall and flash flooding to Arizona through the weekend, U.S. Congressman Greg Stanton (D-AZ) is urging federal officials to prepare to assist Arizonans–and for Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva without any more delay.

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

This is all in previous American history. All of it. It rings loudly of Indigenous massacres. Everything being done by the Executive & Republicans has been done before. Right now they're echoing the set up of the Sand Creek Massacre, but because we erase history the public refuses to recognize it.

Racism is VERY much an every state problem. Northern NY born & raised. Boomers who have always been racist see Trump as God-given Tsar because they really ARE THAT HATEFUL.

Those who left their vote for president blank are trying to get me to see them as not complicit but I know they are complicit. ( I'm talking IRL people I've known for years.)

Those who already experienced it tried to tell everyone, but because we're often women and/ or disabled the not worst people wouldn't believe us

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Thank you @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social for using my #ShowMeYourHellhole video of Portland!

@jimmykimmel.com is doing more to tell the truth about what #Portland looks like than the MSM & I'm forever grateful, even if this didn't turn out to be my big break 😉

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim.bsky.social · Sep 8

"If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because 'violence' is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as 'peaceful' are, in reality, quite violent."

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
