@CarlHeastieNY time to stop spreading sewage sludge on our farms and over our drinking water. The Assembly can protect NYS from PFAS forever chemicals— please bring A6192D to the floor! Pass it today! #BanTheSludge #PFASfreeNY

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

This is it.

That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

"The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!" chant crowds as they welcome Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander after he was released from ICE custody with charges dismissed.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.

Always.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

Let me repeat myself: We don't have kings in America, and I don't intend to bend the knee to one.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

We are well into reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears as state policy.

It seems Corporal Russel of the Cornelius Police Dept has his priorities mixed up.

So devastating 💔

These last few days and weeks have really brought it home- words MATTER. Before you say it or share it ask yourself: Is what I'm about to say 🔎ACCURATE? 🔧 HELPFUL? 🔑NECESSARY? Add to the conversation, not the noise. Chill your hot takes to make sure you're helping, not hurting.

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

As Keir Starmer announces a public inquiry into the 'Grooming Gangs' Scandal, our four-part report last year by Andrew Kersley is once again relevant Special Investigation: ‘The Far-Right Is Cynically Taking Advantage of Child Sexual Exploitation Survivors’ www.bylinetimes.com

California brings forth bill that takes the masks off ICE agents.

My friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social has her book coming out today. It’s really good. You should read it. And then give it as gifts to your friends. bookshop.org/p/books/huma...

Governor Tim Walz, "The way our nation moves forward is not through hate. It is not through violence. It is through humility, and grace, and compassion.

Trump should be pushing for a ceasefire while he negotiates a nuclear deal with Iran. Instead, he’s playing into Netanyahu’s hands by threatening them. He did the same with Ukraine. The guy has no clue what his role is. Because he’s scared of dictators. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Gathered in fellowship, they were praying. Then hatred and gunfire shattered the peace of Mother Emanuel.   As the pain endures ten years later, so does the resolve. For the nine lives stolen in Charleston and their loved ones, we will keep fighting until we end gun violence.

LA jails just posted their 22nd in-custody death for this year

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

at *absolute minimum*, the inevitable 100s of millions of settlement money needs to come out of the LAPD budget, not the general fund. If they want to spend millions of our dollars so Officer Greg can live out his fantasy of shooting unarmed people, they've got to lay off thousands to pay for it.

Me too

They should have little collection plates at the polling places, so if you rank Cuomo on your ballot you can throw in some money to cover the next round of sexual harassment cases against him.
