Check out the @movementvoter.bsky.social video summarizing the work in Minnesota against ICE. It’s great. movement.vote/minnesota/ The grassroots that successful pushed back against ICE mobilized quickly because they had been organizing for a long time. This is happening all over the country.

This senator needs to face charges and lose his seat

This is fantastic. I just wish they had courage before they announced retirement
Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

Didn’t expect to be back online two weeks postpartum (excuse the snoring baby sounds), but I need to respond to Rick Scott’s insane claim that DHS or ICE are “underfunded.” Don’t let his no vote today pacify you. He voted no because he doesn’t think ICE has enough.
Worth a listen. Latest song from Bruce Springsteen www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...
“At one point, a group of clergy stepped off the curb, knelt on the pavement and began to pray. ‘Everybody’s got a right to live and before this campaign fails, we’ll all go down to jail, they sang. Protesters cheered as police arrested a few dozen of the clergy and loaded them onto buses.”
At Davos, felon trump performs his Hitler knock off babbling nonsense and fantasy showing himself and the United States unfit for global leadership.

This is a great tribute to Dr. King and a history about the civil rights movement from @womenforward.bsky.social. It gives advocacy actions you can take in this moment. Proud the writing a letter to the editor is mentioned. I co-coordinate this project.

My letter to the editor was published in the @miamiherald.com. My rep. Carlos Gimenez is not promoting democracy and has failed in his congressional responsibilities. We need to vote him and the rest of the South Florida Republican delegation out in 2026.
