Hey @colorado.gov @philweiser.bsky.social it's time to file hate crimes charges against Joe Oltmann. Also, keep Tina Peters in state prison for fucks sake.

My 6yo has started pretend electronic locking her bedroom door at night so Trump can't get in. She seemed to think that he himself is going into homes and causing harm. There are children in her school whose families have been impacted by ICE so we assume this is where the concern came from.
A Wash Post review found instances of parents arrested near campuses in at least 10 states so far this year. Actions near campuses—which include shooting a man, releasing tear gas and engaging in a car chase—have prompted lockdowns. @justinemcdaniel.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...
In cities targeted by ICE, empty desks and school disruptions follow
One in 5 students in Charlotte missed school after a recent ICE crackdown began. It’s the latest city where schools felt the impact of Trump’s deportation effort.

ICE kidnapped a 17-year-old U.S. citizen named Christian Jimenez. Jimenez, a high school senior born in Newberg, Oregon, was driving on his school’s lunch break when ICE/CBP agents stopped his car, smashed his window, and abducted him on November 21, 2025.

Chuck Grassley, the Senator from Iowa, is declining to rule out seeking a ninth term.
He’s 92 now and would be 95 in 2028.
This is fucking obscene. Please don’t ever wonder why I consistently post about age limits and mandatory retirement.
Anyone who would vote for him is clinically insane.
