House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.

While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

@bkindivisible.bsky.social is a partner, movement, & a force for real progressive change in this country. For nearly a decade, they’ve shown what it means to organize with purpose and lead with values.

I’m proud to have their endorsement and even prouder to stand alongside them in the work they do.

I beg to differ. Quite a number of units seem to be near the White House.
The @washingtonpost tracked where Trump's forces are patrolling in Washington. Spoiler alert: They're not where the crime is.

If I was the House Minority Leader during an authoritarian takeover of the Capitol and a reporter asked me whether a NYC mayoral candidate ought to be living in a rent-stabilized apartment, I’d not only say “absolutely” but also ask the reporter to reflect on the ridiculousness of the question…

It’s genuinely insane that this technology is even legal, let alone that it’s being shoved down our throats from every possible angle
Reading about a 76-year-old man who left Jersey for New York to meet who he thought was a real baddie but was actually just Meta’s Kendall Jenner AI chatbot and while rushing to catch the bus he tripped, broke his neck and died.
A flirty Meta AI bot invited a retiree to meet. He never made it home.
Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Meta’s AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

“These people do it naturally”
Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

@kairyssdal.bsky.social has been setting an example for broadcasters (public and private) and mainstream reporters in his strict "let's the cut the BS" insistence on truth.

All other broadcasters and (especially) headline writers: Follow his lead.
Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.
