Hahaha! “…harm Israel’s international image.” Too late Zios.

LIVE: Right now, I led a march to Leader John Thune’s office — he’s refusing to meet with the House Democrats, who are demanding answers on what he’s doing to protect @padilla.senate.gov.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

If Senate Democrats like @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov are still collaborating with Republicans to give Trump a crypto gift after this - they all deserve to be primaried. At this point there should be no collaboration w/ Sen Republicans. None.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

Of course it should be illegal. Public servants, paid by public funds, exercising authority over the public must be identifiable. How else would we be able to hold the account if there are questions about the manner with which they have discharged their responsibilities?

We should make it illegal

every single member of the senate democratic caucus voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. there was not a single dissenting vote.

Playing in a bipartisan congressional baseball game with the party enabling the fascist assault on multiple Democratic led cities is quite a thing.

Tragedy in India. Devastating tragedy.

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

Gov. Gavin Newsom tells Fox LA that Trump has "lost it."   "This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought. He's making things up."

A really chilling implication here is that if Trump keeps doing speeches on military bases, and commanding officers continue to tell soldiers to opt in or out of these events (as they did here), then there will be lists by base and unit of which soldiers support the administration & which don't.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

What a terrible, terrible idea. I have loved the iNaturalist app but won't be using it any more as long as they're doing this. The environmental costs of GenAI are way too high (and that's before you get into the ethical issues!).

This is a meaningless distinction. “Arrest” is from the French “arrêter,” to stop. If they can detain you for however long it takes a cop to show up, that is already functionally an arrest.

Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m just gonna keep saying this AI is an authoritarian tool for state capture and social engineering.

Stunts like this illustrate that the entire goal is to entrench these systems so deeply into government structures that they become almost impossible to remove. ai in this sense might be better understood as an intentionally planted invasive species rather than a technological intervention.

Two facts I recently learned that shook me: there are three rocket/satellite re-entries *per day* somewhere on Earth, and there are over *one hundred million* pieces of space debris in low-Earth orbit larger than 1 mm in size. Yeah. This is a problem badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/could-aste... 🔭 🧪
