Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

A bit of a reality check: Mike Johnson and his crew WANT the government to shut down. To the contrary, they’d show up and enter into good faith negotiations. Of course, they shut it down for over a month during Dump’s first admin. Why expect anything different now? 🙄 youtube.com/shorts/RxgDM...

Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor "Bread Garden Market in the heart of downtown Iowa City, ICE Gestapo freaks kidnapped one of our community members at his place of work. This seemed to be a targeting of an individual, not a raid. However, call (515) 729-6482 if you see suspected ICE activity."

It’s on all of us to stop the hate Honor the memory of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, by demanding leaders dial back the toxic rhetoric before more lives are lost. @dougjones.bsky.social — “If you don’t want folks getting shot, then tell folks to quit talking about wars.”

Political violence and threats are not the answer. This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion. We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"! Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective. #TerrifiedOfTheEPSTEIN_Files 😨

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
