I’m just so happy for Bernie Sanders today… he deserved so much more and we would have been so much the better with his leadership… but he’s been such an influence and leader, and his impact will stretch so far into the future… so yeah him swearing in Zohran Mamdani was a moment for the books.

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.
ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

Now that the TikTok deal is going to go through, I'm remembering fondly when Tumblr was sold for $1B only to tank to $3M. I know these rich folks think they're clever, but platforms aren't popular because of the platform. They're popular because the people liked the platform. Good luck, rich bros.

The flooding in Washington state Is really bad, but can’t help but think how it could have gone if the cities and state didn’t believe in climate change and proactively planned for this event. The flooding was predicted to be worse, but even having that data from NOAA saved communities.

The conditions in many immigration detention centers are horrifying.
Inedible food. Individuals forced to sleep on the floor next to overflowing toilets. Pregnant women shackled and suffering miscarriages.
It is a system designed to break peoples’ spirit, akin to torture.

So not only were we busy telling the world what we were doing on insecure Signal chats, we were shooting down our own people at the same time. It has costs to put incompetent people in charge of national security, and I fear we are just beginning to pay them.

Senator Kelly is correct.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
