Brad Lander was one of the first politicians I worked with in my professional career. He's one of the most intelligent elected officials I've ever met and I appreciate his willingness to put his body on the line like this. We must look after each other.

These kinds of fundraisers are only going to keep happening if ICE is allowed to act with impunity. We need to protect, and in this case, support each other. gofund.me/64030fa4 @lv4allorg.bsky.social @lvwithlove.bsky.social

The way American politicians failed to steer debate when "15-minute cities" entered the popular discourse a few years back makes me think this is sadly never gonna happen

In the last Trump Presidency, gun violence rates skyrocketed in our communities – and we can not allow that to happen again.    Back in March I discussed how my office is taking a wider approach to solving the gun violence crisis in Pennsylvania and the results we are seeing on the ground.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

“Half the tree of life disappearing in one human lifetime.” As this heartbreaking eulogy makes clear, the amount of beauty & wonder we’ve lost is truly overwhelming. All life is connected, & we’re currently on track to learn this truth in the most painful way possible.

People online will really be like “you believe in having principles? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, conceding every principle to build a winning coalition” and then not build a winning coalition

Tell me you shouldn't have kids without telling me you shouldn't have kids.

"Nobody wants to work anymore"

This second sentence had been rattling around my brain for weeks. If we can't understand shared terms, how can we communicate? If we can't communicate, how can we as a community survive?

Justice would have been for this to never have happened...but this is undeniably good news.

I'll bang this drum til I die.

"We need less government in our lives...wait not like that"

Fellow philosophy majors, this is our hour!

We must revive the political spirit, almost like in the aristotelian way. Virtue ethics feels powerful in how it engages in this stuff.

You couldn't make a movie called Toddler President without having someone in the admin considering it a hostile and political act, which actually.... I have a movie pitch, it's called Toddler President

Yep, definitely no way this could be weaponized and wielded to pursue political opposition. No way at all. Nope. Nuh uh.

Great news! The Trump administration has been ordered to reinstate a contract which insured that children won’t have to face deportation without the assistance of a lawyer; something that has been happening more often in immigration courts around the country over the last month.

"[A city] could be among numerous cities targeted by the federal government for not supporting President Donald Trump’s policies targeting immigrant communities." So if you're not hostile enough towards immigrants, you get on the list. Got it. www.lehighvalleynews.com/allentown/tr...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The 90s are back baby 😎

me at 17: none of these nietzsche aphorism perfectly captures my mood me now: my life in 6 emojis:

Yep, there definitely wasn't a different picture that this outlet could have used.

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

“The Trump administration doxxed an American citizen, endangering her and her children. This is completely unacceptable and flat-out wrong.”

Wow @codyjohnston.bsky.social I guess your take on this was right.
