What folks love about @repjasmine.bsky.social is simple—she keeps it real. No sugarcoating, no political gymnastics. She says what the rest of us are thinking but don’t have the mic to say out loud. She’s right—this is a “nightmare”. And we need more voices like hers, calling it out—no apologies!

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

I think I'm tired of ICE just being a group of anonymous bullies with powers sanctioned by who?

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

This plays into my theory that the "male loneliness epidemic" is less about women than it is about an primal desire to be at battle that has waned and resurfaced, without any real target. I think men just want to fight.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is funny, but also, you highly underestimate the connoisseurs we have become, and peeps are beneath most of us. Unless they are infused. Or made into a smore of some kind.

So the person I’m holding as my own personal hero and source of joy right now is the cranky old guy in the American flag baseball cap at the Chuck Grassley Iowa town hall bellowing in the best Cranky Old Guy voice “ARE YOU GONNA BRING THAT GUY BACK FROM EL SALVADOR” Grassley: demurs “WHY NOT”

I know the protests went well this weekend, and I'm glad to hear/see it. But I'm still clamouring for a national strike. 3-5 days. We have the power.

Hi. I’m autistic. I’ve been a senior leader in big tech for over a decade. I have multiple degrees including a Ph.D. I’ve played football. I write comics, poetry, and music. Autism is a spectrum and shows up differently in people. I was non-verbal, but here’s two words for you, RFK: Fuck you.

This is one of the most heartfelt moments I’ve seen on TV in ages. Watch Katie Phang and Rep. Jasmine Crockett dissolve into tears as Phang bids farewell during one of her final episodes of her show.

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

I'm thinking about how tonight was probably the first time Kilmar Abrego Garcia learned that millions of people care about him - the first time he learned that the United States Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring him home. I'm thinking what it must mean for him to know, right now, that he isn't alone.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.
