Hey @repdexteror.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov can you preempt Trump joining attacking Iran by not allowing it from a financial perspective. Can you say that the AUMF doesn't include randomly attack Iran? We should not join that war and we should cut aid to Israel to stop it and genocide

Feels like a weird inverse imperial boomerang that people think you can just evacuate Tehran in the exact same way they were asking why those people in New Orleans couldn't just leave before the storm started

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario

One thing I've noticed following news closely for 20 years now is that any time we have occasion to look closely at police behavior, we find incompetence. They don't prevent crimes, they don't solve crimes, they suck terribly at their actual job. There are exceptions, but that is the rule.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

If you're going to protest this weekend. Stock up today. Get water, masks, eye protection, both from tear gas and from less lethal rounds. Cops are using facial recognition from media recordings. Have an exit strategy

If Trump’s thugs will do this to a U.S. Senator in front of the media, imagine what they'll do to you when the cameras aren't rolling.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

This is striking. His attempts to politicize the military are only going to get worse. I'd expect more explicit and frequent attempts to fuse his identity with the military as it becomes clear just how unpopular his policies are and how much public backlash they're creating. This summer will be bad.

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person We all have value just for being ourselves It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics Disabled people aren’t expendable!

Crazy that they keep warning about this thing they are literally trying to invent. When they could just not make this technology and pivot to something that makes people's lives better. Technology isn't inevitable and won't appear on its own
