I live in the desert. I like cats and plants and bodily autonomy and Taylor and Beyoncé. I don't like cops or prisons or autocratic regimes.

Once again, I note that “increase in assaults” just means that there is an increase in assaults by ICE. ICE should be abolished.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

The best scientific evidence is that the 2020 BLM protests helped defeat Trump in the election. These protests are likely doing the same. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

the decision to "be safe" is no longer yours to make. the state has decided to make us unsafe. but you can make informed choices, take calculated risks, and you can decide to be powerful.

Threats to democracy are all around us, but do not underestimate the power of your own voice. @brotherjones.bsky.social says courage can be contagious. "The more of us who participate in action, the less fear that we will have...They are terrified of the people rising up." #Velshi

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Good thread from one of the few politicians speaking frankly about what’s going on. Wish @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social would learn from this example.

During the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, the 🇨🇦 embassy in Tehran hid six 🇺🇸 diplomats in their homes for three months at risk of hanging. IF THEY CAN DO IT, DEMS CAN FLY TO EL SALVADOR. @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @pelosihousegov.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
