We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

The Putin-loving guy who always looks like he’s on something (but got to bypass his background check & security clearance), who put me on a State Dept “subversives” list, gutted its capacity, and is planning to Wikileaks its anti-propaganda org, has such an interesting personal story. 👀 Uncanny.

We can fight for immigrants AND for public safety. My district is proof: 40% born outside the U.S., and one of the wealthiest, safest in America. Voters want a secure border and safe communities—Democrats must deliver both.

Remind me -- is making scientific research conditional on adhering to the ideology of Dear Leader the part where they're definitely making things more efficient or the part where they're sincerely fighting anti-Semitism?

HSI is the arm of ICE that is an actual criminal law enforcement agency, which is partly why they have this kind of gear. In previous years, most of their work was unrelated to immigration enforcement. Now they've been ordered to make immigration enforcement the number one priority of the agency.

Aaron is being tactful. DO NOT GRAB ICE OFFICERS. Really, don't grab non-ICE officers either. You are far more useful to this cause alive and unimprisoned.

🔥 Defiant in a party of silence, Sen Lisa Murkowski calls Trump’s actions a “historic betrayal.” From tariffs to refugee policy: “I could use nice words — but I don’t.” She’s blunt about the cost of dissent: “We are all afraid…bc retaliation is real. That’s not right.” #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
