This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

ICE and Kristi Noem treat everything as a photo op.

It’s torture porn.

It’s white Christian supremacy recruitment.

Here she is praying at the Portland ICE Detention facility, asking for a “hedge of protection” for the officers.

No prayers for those being kidnapped & beaten of course

Let me be clear: backpay for these workers is required under a federal law I wrote with former Senator Cardin — which Trump signed — during the last Trump shutdown.

This is just more fear mongering from a president who wants a blank check for lawlessness. It won't work.

Below her name are icons and text indicating that she is followed by people who also follow Brianna Wu, Jonathan Chait, and Matt Yglesias.

Amy McGrath isn't running for Senate

She's running to increase her clout in the Dem Party ecosystem

Don't give her your money

If you're looking to support a Senate candidate who can flip a seat and will appreciate you for more than magical internet money, donate to @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Amy McGrath @amymcgrath.bsky.social · 2d

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Everyone deserves healthcare.

Everyone deserves housing.

Everyone deserves education.

Everyone deserves food & clean water.

This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights.

We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.
