Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I don’t have a lot of time so quick thread on exactly WHY what I posted about today is so bad. TLDR: it’s like the most convoluted fucked up incestuous polycule I’ve ever heard of. 🥴🥴🥴 First who is everybody? Scott Bessent is the Secretary of the Treasury so cabinet member from hedge fund land.

Called my damned congressthing (this is probs about the 50th call since Inauguration Day). Confrontational all around. Called for his resignation for “protecting pedophiles”. Called him a coward for never having in-person townhalls. Made the staffer READ BACK TO ME all my grievances.

Yesterday’s call to do-nothing CongressThing Jack Bergman (Michigan 1st congressional). Ugly. Me: “Just a quick question: does Mr. Bergman still support this President?” Staffer: “Yes he does.” Me: “Then I must insist on Mr. Bergman’s resignation. He just whiffed the easiest of slow/

Good Trouble! Called do-nothing MI rep Jack Bergman’s DC and Traverse City MI offices. Asked his (poor fucker) staffers how I was supposed to square his statement regarding his the Big Bill (see attached) with actual wordage from the bill itself? Lots of hemming/hawing of course (including but/

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to measure my courage as The Dark Times unfold around us. Will I have the courage to speak out? Will I have the courage to stick to my beliefs/principles, even as the Fash arm themselves against us? Am I willing to spend my life in a concentration camp in/

I’ve been hounding my (new) congresspeople’s phone lines. Latest theme: whether you’re the actual nazi, the one resisting, or the one too cowardly to resist (or worse, a craven enabler), YOUR LEGACY IS ASSURED. Good times

My notes for my phone call to Jack Bergman’s office (Michigan 1st congressional district). Admittedly, my handwriting is shit, so I’ll translate them for you: “If I’m, say, at a Home Depot, and heavily-armed men in tactical gear—masked, armed men wearing no badges or name tags—carrying zip ties/

I admire @realdollyparton.bsky.social as a champion of books and literacy, so I donated books to two classrooms today through @donorschoose.bsky.social, which I hope will #MakeDollySmile. These books will have a direct impact on classrooms that are historically underfunded.

Just got off my call to @markwarner.bsky.social ‘s office, fully withdrawing my support of him because of the senator’s tepid responses to the president’s violations of people’s Constitutional rights.

Called both Va senators just now, detailing my concerns for our 4th and 14th Amendments. I was alarmed by @markwarner.bsky.social ‘s staffer’s casual tone, telling me he didn’t think those things (denaturalization/deportation) were likely to happen to my brown loved ones

New mental hygiene level UNLOCKED: calling my representatives while sitting on the john. This call—to @kaine.senate.gov —is probably evidence of inadequate fiber or too little coffee? or perhaps both Anyway, made my concerns abundantly known to the Senator’s staffer—then promptly flushed.

On the one end of the spectrum: Mark Warner, urging “decorum” while President Lunatic blows up the government, the economy, our honor among the nations On the opposite end of the spectrum: Cory Booker, with an eloquent, spirited, DISRUPTIVE lifting up of American voices I’ve chosen. Have you?
