I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

That makes him an amateur after watching the Republicans and Trump blatantly and repeatedly must US citizens and blatantly enrich his billionaire donors at the expense of the working class.

It has begun, the suggestion that, since dems are so far ahead in polls, some of us don't need to "hold our nose and vote" We all need to vote. Period. For the person that's not a republican. Period.

Error means unknown number of Texas voter registrations haven’t been processed yet
It’s unknown how many prospective voters have been affected.

Protesters gathered on the front steps of the Texas State Capitol on Monday. It's in response to the shooting of Wilber Garces Perez by an ICE agent on Sunday afternoon. Protesters had two demands: The immediate release of Wilber and the arrest of the ICE goon involved in the shooting

Up and down the ballot. Also, level up on your ballot initiatives to make sure you know what you're voting for/against. The wording on them is often deceptive.

A crucial message: Don't ever listen & let anyone tell you that voting doesn't matter, or that you should abdicate your civil right & civic duty. Congress isn't going to save us, there's no quick fix. This will take a lifetime to recover from. It's going to take a multifaceted plan, inclding Voting.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

That sounds great. Let me know when you have a time machine so we can go back and do that. We are where we are now. No vote or a vote for third party candidate enables the Republicans.

Same question to you. When you vote for a third party candidate, what do you think or hope will happen?

deaddrop @deaddrop.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
My hope is that if we elect enough Dems, the ones that are complicit won't matter. The rest need to drop the hammer on every illegal thing every Republican in office did. They need to hold a strong party line on every single issue. They need to impeach and convict Trump. That must start on day one.

Not this liberal. Jeffries is as compromised as Fetterman. He's just smarter about it with his "strongly worded statements." Sadly, his district is as safe as they come.

The question answers itself. Of course, it's the corporations and billionaires. We need publicly funded elections, strong labor rights, and corporate taxation that corresponds to how much they extract from our economy.

deaddrop @deaddrop.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
I wish that too. The system is so broken. Between gerrymandering, corporate and dark money, plus the relentless attack on our civil rights including voting rights, we have a lot of work to do.

She lost by 30,000 votes. There were 50,000 third-party candidate votes. 30,000 is 60% of 50,000. Do you have your own math facts too?

deaddrop @deaddrop.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
That's certainly possible and I'm not assuming anything. I already acknowledged that it may not have ended up in a win for Harris, but it certainly would have been closer. And we have no way to know what the other outcome could have been.

I don't know what the motivations were for anyone who voted third party. Perhaps it was idealism or a vote against Trump. I don't know. You don't know. At 80% I do agree it's unlikely to have changed the election but it was certainly possible. 50k 3p voters == 60%. That is far less unlikely that 80%

This chart only reflects votes for Jill Stein. There are other third party candidates who also receive votes and those votes certainly could have made a difference.

deaddrop @deaddrop.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Those were not the only third party candidates. Oh, and those two candidates took 30,015 of the votes. That was enough to have called the election for Harris. But the others received more than 10,000 votes. I think Pennsylvania also went in a similar way. You'd have to look that one up for yourself.
200
deaddrop @deaddrop.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
More statements I didn't make. Let me restate my original premise. Not voting or voting third party will undermine any opportunity for change and could result in the Republicans retaining power. It certainly won't change anything now or later if the election isn't too big to rig.
