I’m here with @repstansbury.bsky.social fighting on Capitol Hill to protect federal workers. Don’t get it twisted – furloughed federal workers will get their backpay when this shutdown is over. It’s the law. We’ll continue to work together and end the Republican shutdown.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

No carve outs for the military pay! Why would you approve funding to terrorize American citizens?

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Using an image of Rodney King riots from the 90s?
@zbyronwolf.bsky.social You probably aren’t responsible for the image, but it makes you look like a propagandist.

Indivisible groups should send flowers to their Senators who are holding the line. Flood them not only with calls, but fill their DC offices with bouquets of flowers. 💐

Groups in Maine, Nevada, and Pennsylvania can send King CM and Fetterman it cheap suit. lol.
