If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Can’t begin to describe how surreal it is to see government officials talking about my city like it’s some kind of burning hellscape. It’s not. LA is a beautiful city full of culture & community that always comes together in times of crisis. I’ve lived here for 15 years & I’m happy to call it home 🖤

I think more of the “it’s a distraction” people need to actually get out and protest. Because, there you are, a crowd of people, and NOBODY has the same sign, and there’s NINETEEN separate chants and which one is the “real issue” and who “messages” and… AND YOU’RE ALL THERE TOGETHER.

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

It’s amazing how this 25-year-old system was working fine right up to the point where DOGE started fucking with it, and then it suddenly broke. They’re like arsonists who set fires so just they can rush in and save people

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has upheld a new law giving the GOP control of elections. Unless the high court steps in, a new elections board could just certify Jefferson Griffin as the winner of the high court race that he lost in 2024. www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u... #ncpol

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

It's so depressing to me how quickly people have decided that safety regulations just don't matter. You really don't want botulism, listeria, or salmonella and there are very few companies who will put ethics over profits unless they're forced to. This is what government should be doing.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD. This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.
