I am so glad to see my NY Assembly Member, @tj4ny Tommy John Schiavoni standing up for protecting his constituents against @GovKathyHochul's attempt to gut our Climate Law.

Just so we’re quite clear, the President is insane:

What if your “short attention span” isn’t your fault? My guests call it “human fracking” — a multi-trillion-dollar system built to monetize our minds. A conversation on Attensity! and the Attention Liberation Movement. writersvoice.substack.com/p/writers-voic… #AttentionEconomy #DigitalCapitalism

Unreal. Gavin Newsom made CA legislators water down the ICE mask ban bill. He went around touting that he was proud to sign it. A court just struck it DOWN *because* of Newsom’s changes to the bill. Unreal corporate Democrat self-own. This guy cannot be our next President.

The RollCall of Shame: Representatives Henry Cuellar (Texas), Tom Suozzi (New York), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (New York), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), and Don Davis (North Carolina).

You are literally the Senate Minority Leader. Block ICE funding or quit your job you useless fool.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

And this one: a stooge of US imperialism shooting a freedom fighter

It's the SAME FUCKING PICTURE.

Trump's America

This reminds me of this

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law. 5. Impeach Noem and Bondi. 6. End the Kavanaugh stops with racial profiling and end the militarization of ICE. 7. Codify a use of force standard so courts can enforce the law against rogue ICE agents. 8. Tear down and replace ICE with an agency that has oversight. Trump is engaged in the SYSTEMATIC destruction of the rule of law. Only if Congress fights with every legal tool at our disposal including lawsuits in the courts, like we are doing with the Epstein files, can we stop this madness. We owe that to nurse Pretti and the hundreds of thousands on the streets risking their lives to stand up for our freedoms.
