A note on worry: worry doesn't solve problems, worry doesn't help others, worry doesn't help us, worry doesn't accomplish. I'm not going to tell anyone not to feel bad, things are scary and people are getting hurt. But I know worry and despair aren't going to help those who are being hurt.
So happynseeing these wins like tonight. Everything matters, because every fight matters. Remember, remember, not to be silent

Wat?...
Republicans just lost a district Trump won by 17 points- in Texas. That’s not an anomaly, it’s a pattern. Democrats are building on our historic overperformance, and we’re not slowing down. November is coming, and we’re ready. ALL GAS, NO BRAKES!!
Texas State Senate 9 Special Runoff - PROJECTION
- 🔵 ☑️ Taylor Rehmet (D) - 54,228 (57.2%)
- 🔴 Leigh Wambsganss (R) - 40,570 (42.8%)
We can project that Taylor Rehmet has won election to the Texas State Senate, flipping this seat to the Democrats.

I've been, justifiably, angry over what's happened and frustrated with my own issues. *But* I believe in shining a light on (and promoting) constructive action. And Minneapolis, and many other states, are engaging in just that. Another, positive, bible verse for the day

While folks like to think ideology is the main think, the primaries so far appear to bw a out approach more than ideology: we are seeing which candidates have the right campaign direction for the year

Every time I see photos of Liam in detention I see them draining the life out of a child. ICE, Stephen Miller and Co are the most vile of the vile and an eternity in hell seems too mild

Just looked at my calendar and it's just over a month and a half until the Illinois primary (March 17th). Should I offer hereticsl thoughts on IL 9, the most online Congressional primary on Bluesky?

Under discussed topic in SE Michigan politics and higher education- What's going on with Eastern Michigan University? I was prompted by someone else worrying about it to look up their financial statements (publicly available) and...yikes. Looking at those I'd think we'd all be more worried

They're (ICE) killing children. Let me repeat: THEY (ICE) ARE KILLING CHILDREN
Liam is sick with fever & shows extreme lethargy, according to reports from his parents—he did not wake up throughout the entire visit from his representatives—this child is clearly experiencing severe shock—he should be in an emergency room, not squalid rooms with moldy food and contaminated water.
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Police unions have never shiw solidarity with other working people and have mainly been about excusing brutality frim criminal thugs. They are not our union brothers
When the Police Officers Association of Michigan plastered an expletive-soaked Facebook post on its official page calling Minneapolis “woke scum” and amplifying unverified claims about Ted Nugent feeding “starving ICE agents."

Second full day of PT, day 7 of doing the work. Today was a rough one for doing the PT exercises. As it's week 3, I'm not necessarily optimistic on getting cleared to drive at week 5 from my doctor. No knock on anyone, just am not healing as fast as I though I could

Ypsilanti Community Schools reports that ICE is targeting YCS schools.
It is even more imperative that MI pass legislation protecting schools, courthouses and places of worship (SBs 508-510). People shouldn't be afraid of facing violence from untrained, reckless, and unaccountable federal agents.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.
She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Good to see: Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging whistleblowers inside DHS and DOJ to approach Dems and share info about failure to investigate ICE murders.
"We are now being far more direct in asking whistleblowers to come forward," Raskin tells me.

So to recap: Trump & Republicans are in full retreat, congressional Republicans are making tons of concessions to Democrats, & all of the sudden a bunch of accounts, both big & small, are working overtime to dampen enthusiasm for anyone left-of-center on here.
