This was me, a little over a year ago, dressed in suffragette white, wearing a sandwich board stating: I CANNOT VOTE TODAY ASK ME WHY. As a registered unaffiliated (independent) voter, I'm barred from voting in DC's taxpayer-funded primary elections. 73% of voters here want to change that. 1/2

"The combination of Mr. Trump’s authoritarian moves and the Supreme Court’s authorization of them has produced, for many, a deepening despair. But here is the essential fact: The Constitution’s meaning is not the Supreme Court’s alone to define. It belongs to 'we the people.' "

It is absolutely ridiculous. What does all of that sound like in his head before it comes out of his mouth? 🤔

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

It took me a few times, and slowing down the video, but yeah. There it is.

The ICE agent on the left taking a fucking selfie as they violently arrest the women they dragged from the vehicle they crashed into just a moment earlier.

Frame at 1:07 from video in quoted post. ICE agent on left takes a self as he and ICE agent on right violently arrest woman they dragged out of vehicle they sideswiped just moments earlier.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson says it's "appalling" for President Trump to pitch U.S. cities as "training grounds" for the military. "This is unconscionable, it's reckless, it's dangerous," says @mayorofchicago.bsky.social.

"Layoffs are a choice, the shutdown is an excuse."

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Re-upping this piece on news that Vought is firing federal employees:
*Vought lying that shutdowns compel layoffs, never have before.
*Layoffs are a choice, the shutdown is an excuse.
*Comes on top of existing RIFs, will make restoring govt services harder post-shutdown.

I'm not numb to it. He's a danger to himself and others. Those around him are there for the grift and access to power. They're like any other white supremacists who gain power under this system. They don't love this country. They love themselves, wealth, and crushing those they believe are unworthy.

Last night -- listening to @kamalaharris.com talk about how we must fight for our country, that this is OUR COUNTRY!! She was on fire and I'm here for it, recharged to work to save our democracy!
