CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.

Here you go, I list and explain them one by one.

I 100% agree with @weratedogs.com on this. When I first saw the ad for Ring's pet finder, I was instantly struck by the wide range of abuses it could foster.
Think twice before you add to the Ring/Flock database. Consider other camera options.

Grateful this exists, and heartbroken that it has to. If you or someone you love needs it, this is a clear, practical, and important resource for family preparedness.

We deserve better than needing plans like this.💚

Moderna Is Curbing Investment in Vaccine Trials Due to US Backlash Moderna Inc.’s chief executive officer said the company doesn’t plan to invest in new late-stage vaccine trials because of growing opposition to immunizations from US officials.

Because the media is mostly shit at tying anything together to provide any fucking context to what is going on beyond théir talking point, I give you a story in 2 parts (1/?)

Part 1: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

We are at the "carry your papers everywhere" part of the Nazi Germany copycat timeline.

I know I’ve already shared this but allow me to scream into the void for a sec that it is absolutely ENRAGING for these documents to say “SSA was unaware of” any of this shit when so many of us, myself, and several then SSA administrators included, (hi @chuckborges.bsky.social) were SCREAMING that

Because of course that’s who it was 😒😒😒

Disgusting. But I would not be sad to see Nazi barbie go. Although the replacement will be worse.

From my home to yours.

I have a flight tomorrow. I'm so stressed.

I'm suppose to fly to California tomorrow to celebrate my milestone birthday with friends. Thanks to the government shutdown I may not make it. It's going to be a long stressful 24 hours seeing if I make it. 😭😭😭

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Federal employees are heading home today; however, members of Congress will continue to receive their salary. As the humorist Andy Borowitz wrote: “That’s like eliminating the fire dept & sending checks to the arsonists.”

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

As I was saying…

DHS Calls for Media and Far Left to Stop the Demonization of President Trump, His Supporters, and DHS Law Enforcement | Homeland Security Following the evil act of political violence witnessed in the country last week and two attempts to resist arrest resulting in severe injuries of ICE law enforcement officers—one being drug by a car a...

Maybe if the administration wasn’t a bunch of total demons, we wouldn’t demonize them. Maybe if ICE was operating within the law, best law enforcement practices, and actual public interest, we wouldn’t be vilifying them.

So you lay down your sword first, Kristi et al.
