Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power.

Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.

How much anger and resistance to #Herzog visit to Australia is there on other platforms? I’m only here and there’s a lot. I’m hoping what we see on Bsky is also reflected on Upscrolled, Tik Tok, Threads, Insta, Reddit, even X & wherever.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Sounds promising. I forget how many reports I've seen of women killed or raped where the offender received a pathetic sentence, because aside from being a rapist/ man-slaughtering his spouse; "he's a good bloke."

It devalues victims & has let white men get away with being p.o.s. Happy to ditch it.
