It’s hard to trust when words and action -even effort- don’t seem to line up.
Replacing doors busted down in warrantless forced entries, recovering from tear gas, replacing car windows that are smashed, require more.
It’s bigger than getting ice out of Minneapolis.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

The wrecking ball DOGE swung at the Social Security Administration has now resulted in the data of over 340 million Americans being compromised.
In light of last week's revelation that DOGE mishandled Social Security data and violated the Hatch Act, @kjboyle.bsky.social looks back at DOGE's activity at SSA.
From dismantling customer service operations to using SSA data to surveil immigrants, DOGE agents must be accountable for much more.

Could you please take a look at the VDH and their submission to -and support of- RFK Jr’s destroying CDC vaccines and schedules?
Can we as a state please join with other states (such as California) to extend protections to citizens based on science? TY
