I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Censoring and silencing critics.

Cracking down on free speech.

The Trump Administration is waging an unprecedented attack on those who do not agree with them.

But the people will always have the first and last word.

I travelled from California to Colorado yesterday, taking two buses and a completely full 737, with some traffic and weather delays. EVERYBODY WAS COOL. No fights, no shouting, no aggression. Just everybody everywhere doing their best all day long.

We’re calling on U.S. DOJ to cease its attacks on NY AG James & other political targets.
 
Every aspect of the investigation against AG James makes plain it’s not rooted in any legitimate suspicion of wrongdoing.
 
The wheels of justice must never become a tool of political & personal retribution.

HUGE. The first major court victory involving conditions of confinement at ICE field offices. The judge bars detention in any cell which isn't:

- Restricted by capacity
- Has mats for people to sleep on overnight
- Is cleaned 3 times a day
- Provides hygiene supplies
- Offers free legal calls
Judge Lewis Kaplan has GRANTED a motion for a TRO sought by lawyers for detainees at 26 Federal Plaza. It requires DHS to provide migrants a clean and safe place to sleep, prescription medication, nutritious meals, access to counsel, & other necessities storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I don't really take photos that fit the mold for #Stunday, so I'll just share one that is stunning to me, inciting panic and weak knees at the moment. It is rare. Surprisingly, never processed until now.

Two things I’m tired of being told:

(1) this is a distraction

(2) not enough people are talking about this

Just say your thing! That’s what I want to pay attention to!

When the old falls apart, something new comes together
Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.

A new generation of leaders is here.
