With much love to you all, let this stand as a reminder of why we fight so hard, risk so much to help the people in our communities. If we do not, if we withhold our help and stand silently, we are not better than hate.

Need to keep yourself or someone you care about safe on 🧊icy roads? There's a new iPhone app, ICEblock, that works a lot like Waze, where users can flag anytime they see ice on the road. #resist #noice
Similar to WAZE, there's a new ICEBlock App

https://www.iceblock.app/

If you've used the app WAZE, then you know that consumers are able to mark on their map when they see construction, broken down cars, etc. With this app, individuals are able to mark when and where they see ICE in their community. This can help to alert individuals who could be in danger and/or at risk. Apparently MAGA is trying to keep this app quiet ... I say we make sure its existence goes viral. Spread the word. Not just here but any social media platform. Good luck ... I hope we can save as many human beings as possible.

Just as an FYI ... the app is only available on iPhones because of the strict anonymity of the app. Apparently, Android phones would require an account in order to send push notifications that would alert others of the presence of ICE within a certain proximity to them.

Let's talk about Section 70302 of the Big Ugly Bill 🧵: Section 70302 prohibits federal courts from holding government officials in contempt unless a specific law by Congress grants that authority. This eliminates courts' long-standing inherent power to enforce orders against federal actors.

The media is downplaying the murder of Jonathan Joss. IT WAS AN ANTI-GAY HATE CRIME DURING PRIDE MONTH AND YOU SHOULD BE FURIOUSStatement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales
Husband of Jonathan Joss

My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.

Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.

When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.

While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a qun from his lap and fired.

Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.

Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentine's Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future.

He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.

I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved.

To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family.

My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. 

-Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut asked us to post this statement to your public walls if you can do so without risking your jobs or safety. #resistance #resist
Text image of a report from the Senate Floor:

Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. Republicans forced us to debate their billionaire bailout budget framework. We started voting at 6 PM because they knew doing it in the dark of night would minimize media coverage. And they do not want the American people to see how blatant their handover of our government to the billionaire class is.
So I want to explain what happened last night and what we did to fight back.
 
The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular and necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP, are all being targeted. 

In order to pass the tax cut, Republicans have to go through a series of procedural steps. Last night, they took the first step which requires them to pass an outline of their plan, but with it, any senator can offer as many amendments as we want. So my Democratic colleagues and I did just that.

Now, we knew that Republicans would largely unanimously oppose them, but we had two objectives here. One, Republicans were forced to put their opinion on record — many for the first time — on the most corrupt parts of Trump and Musk’s agenda. Two, as I’ve been saying, I am going to make every process and procedure as slow and painful as possible for as long as my colleagues choose to ignore the constitutional crisis happening before our eyes.

So what did we propose? We proposed no tax cuts for anyone who makes a billion dollars a year. We made them vote on whether or not Elon Musk and DOGE should have limitless access to Americans’ personal data. We made them vote on whether to protect IVF and require insurers to cover it. 

Every single amendment Democrats proposed was shot down. On almost every single amendment, Republicans universally opposed it. Every Republican voted against our prop…
