We just deactivated our Twitter account and wow, that's a weight lifted!
Musk is a problem and he has been for a long time. We've been shifting our weight to Bluesky for a while, but we're no longer content to lurk on the other site anymore. (1/4)

Insane footage from on the ground in Minneapolis. Trump continues to turn our neighborhoods into war zones. This is not normal.
🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.

As Trump becomes more unpopular, his regime is getting more desperate to silence dissent. Pete Hegseth’s latest attempt to intimidate Senator Kelly for exercising his right to free speech is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
