Is there any kind of fine distinction between goon squads and hooligans? #GoonSquad #hooligans #ICE #semantics

It’s a Zach Bryan song which was likely used without permission, and the ‘without permission’ aspect is part of their message.

As Americans face rising grocery bills, rent hikes, and job insecurity, the Trump WH has delayed a critical inflation report—critics call it a dangerous “politics of erasure,” where facts vanish, trust erodes, and democracy falls into decay.

I personally witnessed this while I was stationed in places like Nicaragua, Haiti, Peru. My colleagues in @steadystatevets.bsky.social have seen it in many other places. Now it is here, and it’s all hands on deck time. The danger is now.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

I didn’t think anyone could be a nastier bitch than #StephenMiller, then I heard excerpts of the #PamBondi Senate Oversight Committee hearing that took place today.

And Jesse Watters still has a job at Fox. It’s a total fabrication, much like JD Vance (AKA) stating that he’ll make up a story if convenience and circumstances warrant it.

When we take back this country, Pam Bondi should be given due process and face substantial jail time.

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

Hmm. Cost me more than $10. In what year did you buy it for ten? You trolling? I’m just bringing up one more absurdity among many. We paid for a product we ain’t getting right now.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
