It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

Brooke Spergel @bspergel.bsky.social · 11h

Great event

Brooke Spergel @bspergel.bsky.social · 11h

We should be terrified.

Our corpulent overlord doesn’t want for food, certainly, but that doesn’t mean his subjects won’t starve.

This is a direct consequence of Stephen Miller’s racism.

First person account. Tomatoes, squash, and corn rotting neglected in the vast farm behind me. It had been more quiet this whole year, but eerily quiet recently. Walked over and saw this. It's abnormal.

Found out the foreman was taken by ICE a few weeks ago. 1/2

Who will arrest these criminals?

Rep. Dave Min @congressmin.bsky.social · 2d

Being a federal law enforcement agent does not give you an exemption from the law. The statute of limitations for assault under federal law is five years. This goon must be investigated and prosecuted.

In trump's first administration, cruelty was the point.

In this one, cruelty IS the policy.

The Trump administration has quietly ended support for a program that helped poor people access federal disability benefits, and prevented homelessness.

The cutback is the latest in a series of hits to the poorest Americans from the White House.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.
