WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

Remote work was an accommodation that disabled people requested for years before the Covid pandemic It can allow someone to remain in the workforce longer When non disabled people needed it, it was arranged seemingly overnight Now it’s being ripped away from people who desperately need it. Why?

Great Replacement Theory in action… On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”? This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

I think it's important to stress that the Mayor was arrested AS HE WAS TRYING TO DO HIS WORK.

Suspending habeas corpus would rain TERROR on women in the US. Right now, mainstream media reports from across the US are showing men pretending to be ICE agents to kidnap and rape women. Suspending HABEAS CORPUS would give ALL POLICE the right to kidnap you w/o a word. That is TERRIFYING

One of the thing that angers me most about unaccountable federal police, including ICE, but also police in general--is every step over the last 30 years to aggrandize their power has been met with warnings that exactly this would happen.

Children infected with hepatitis B virus have 90% risk of developing chronic hepatitis. 30% of liver cancers are caused by chronic hepatitis B. We have an incredibly effective vaccine. THAT’S why we vaccinate babies. Weird: science DOES focus on improving health! Grifters like Casey Means don’t.

Huge thank you to Judge Susan Illston, who ordered a two-week pause on the DOGE’s mass layoff plans blocking two dozen agencies from carrying out the largest wave of job cuts yet. She ruled the move was illegal without congressional approval.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...
