From @sandibachom.bsky.social @ IG 👏🏽 🙌🏽 "Activists & observers, peacefully protesting ICE arrests earlier in the day @ Immigration Court 201 Varick Street, without provocation are VIOLENTLY thrown to the ground & arrested by the NYPD. I’ve never seen anything like this. What did Eric Adams promise?"

“Trump will fail” Yes, so did Adolf Hitler but do you think that was good news for the 6 million Jews killed? Toxic positivity without action is wishful thinking and that won’t end fascism.

Everyone’s been stressed about tariffs now the courts have spoken. A panel of federal judges just blocked Trump from imposing some of his steepest tariffs on China and other trading partners, ruling that he far exceeded his authority under federal law. In short, Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth. 📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it. ⚠️Read it before they ban it for good: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

In Massachusetts ICE scooped up 40 people in raids on Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket. They're crowing about the fact that 2 of them had criminal records. That's 5%. I thought this was all about getting actual criminals off the street.

Implosion:,The Titanic sub disaster. BBC2 today. The whole sorry Oceangate failure is a salutary lesson in what happens when hubris ignores science, engineering and advice. The whole American government is currently acting this way and the world should worry about being crushed by their stupidity.

ICE agents making arrests while masked— no warrants. This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable? Congress must act. Hold hearings—sanctioned or not. ☎️ Call your Senators and Representatives NOW: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov
