I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Yeah, he sounds a lot like @radiofreetom.bsky.social: Don’t do anything to upset the maga faithful or they won’t support progressive ideas. Birds of a feather.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

A man was hit by a truck and detained by federal agents in Rialto. No local police coordination. No body cams. No transparency.

This is why we’re building www.PAXIS.app — to document raids, alert communities, and protect rights.

This is horrific. RFK Jr’s CDC is funding a study in Guinea-Bissau which would involve deliberately withholding the hepatitis B vaccine from hundreds of newborn infants, putting them at great risk of death. They want to repeat Tuskegee.

Jack Smith testified under oath that, contrary to Donald Trump’s baseless accusations, neither partisanship nor politicians influenced his decision to follow the evidence and the law to indict Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election & willfully concealing our country’s most sensitive secrets.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
Within 15 minutes today, I got two back-to-back notifications of deaths at ICE facilities.

28 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office. These facilities are overcrowded & are putting their own profits over health and safety. We need oversight & accountability NOW.

The next Democratic president, after he or she takes the oath of office in Jan, 2029, is gonna have so much fun undoing, rescinding, and reversing everything Trump has done via executive order. To my MAGA brothers & sisters, payback is a bitch. So is ignoring the Constitution.

“The Epstein survivors who spoke recently told CNN that they had gotten no outreach from the DOJ ahead of the files’ release.”

Trump’s DOJ regards the survivors not as friendly witnesses who could be helpful but as adverse parties to the Trump administration.

It’s outrageous Trump is locking up hardworking community members like Kelly Yu while pretending he’s focused on real criminals.

I met Kelly at the ICE detention center in Eloy. She’s a small business owner who’s only ever made this country stronger. She should be freed.
