Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 34mExperts warned republicans and democrats in Congress that creating the DHS would lead to unprecedented government intrusion into the lives of ordinary citizens. They were worried about the domestic weaponization of DHS. Of our civil rights. The bill has indeed come due. 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 41mThe post-9/11 era created this legal bubble where the U.S. decided it was entirely above international law. Twenty-four years later, we are seeing the exact consequences of that blank check. Pulling it out root and branch is the only way to restore true global credibility. 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 51mRepealing the Hague Invasion Act should be considered. Using broad U.S. sanctions to attack the ICC and shield war crimes destroys our international credibility. We can't demand justice for Ukraine while defunding the court to protect ourselves and allies (Israel). It's time for real accountability. 110
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 3hSurprised it’s not higher in Florida. We have Ron DeSantis and the MAGA republicans in the state legislature controlling the state. 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 4hThe next DEM presidential administration and Congress (House and Senate), also controlled by the DEM, must dismantle DHS in 2029. This must be number 1 priority. Senate republicans will not give the democrats their votes. Budget reconciliation will be required or nuke the Senate filibuster rule. 120

Reposted by KikiProPublica @propublica.org · 13/10/2026Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period.

Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 8hDHS must be dismantled. ICE abolished. Go back to the pre 9-11 national security configuration but better. 000

Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 13hFlorida seniors who voted for Donald Trump and the GOP thinking policies would only hurt others are in for a shock. By 2027, Medicare Part B premiums jump, MA "givebacks" are slashed, and Part D plans are dropping. Actions (votes) have consequences, and now fixed incomes are paying the price. 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 14hJust listened to a Florida focus group audio recording. The people supporting Ron DeSantis, Uthmeier, Donalds et al are so ignorant that the use of the word "morons" is not enough. 020

Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 13/10/2026"Judge Reyes raised the possibility that the government had intentionally delayed disclosure to give itself time to clear the trees before the court or plaintiffs could intervene." It’s not a possibility. Trump admin officials did this on purpose. 030
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Compounding the stadium crisis, the Federal Oversight Board blocks Puerto Rico municipalities from spending on luxury sports tech. This issue has many components, but the result is the same: while independent Caribbean neighbors modernize, public and private failure is killing Puerto Rican baseball. 010
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 13/10/2026It’s an embarrassment that Mexico, Dominican Republic & Venezuela get ABS tech while Puerto Rico sits out. Adding PR to the MLB domestic draft shrank the pipeline, but the rot is deeper. PR is trapped in systemic gridlock between team owners and cash-strapped municipalities that own the ballparks. 100
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026DHS must be dismantled. This is the number one priority of the next DEM administration and Congress in 2029. 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Correct. The South African Elon Musk arrived to the U.S. with a student visa. He co-founded a software company instead of enrolling in graduate school (Stanford University). 000
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026South African Elon Musk arrived to the U.S. with a student visa. He co-founded a software company instead of enrolling in graduate school (Stanford University). Melania Knauss came to the U.S. via the EB-1 visa program, the "Einstein visa." Not clear what "extraordinary abilities" she had back then. 191
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The potential weaponization of the Department of Homeland Security is what civil rights experts warned republicans and democrats during the creation of DHS. This department must be dismantled in 2029. 020
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The Roberts Court's Citizens United ruling remains a big blow to the United States democracy. Allowing billionaires to spend $276M+ to buy congressional majorities proves the system is broken. It’s time to overturn this disastrous decision and heavily tax the ultra-wealthy like Elon Musk. 071

Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It’s officially time for Lorne Michaels to retire. SNL is in complete decadence, and the latest monologue proves it. The show needs a total reset to save its legacy. Pass the torch to comedy royalty like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler or Seth Meyers to take over and bring back quality television. 010
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The next Dem admin must review the naturalization of Elon Musk. He arrived to the U.S. with a student visa. He co-founded the software company instead of enrolling in graduate school—Stanford University. If the DOJ is expanding denaturalization for fraud and material lies, Elon must be investigated. 130
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Raiding a sitting representative, Rep. Omar’s home days before an election highlights the potential for agency weaponization that civil rights experts warned about at DHS inception. Donald Trump and the republicans are doing precisely that now. The bill comes due. Always. DHS must be dismantled. 0123
Kiki @sju08.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Raiding a sitting Rep. Omar’s home days before an election highlights the potential for agency weaponization that civil rights experts warned about at DHS inception. Using federal law enforcement tools against political opponents sets a dangerous precedent for our democracy. DHS must be dismantled. 0658
