One of things I learned about leadership, is you determine the energy. If you're constantly negative about people or things. It turns people off. Stop participating. Which is important in a Democracy. I'm not saying having a stance is bad, but can you do it with dragging others through the mud?

I'm frustrated. I live and served in a country that cares more about gas prices than: - citizens being killed by ICE - providing a future for children - the servicemembers who will die due to Iran conflict Save one. Just try to save one person. Make one person's life better. Build tomorrow together

Democratic governors, mayors and city councils need to coordinate with their National Guard and local law enforcement leaders NOW. Make sure you have people you trust in place NOW. Fascists are going to strip your power or arrest you if you're not prepared to resist.

REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison? HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

It happened again. An attorney filed a brief in the Dallas Court of Appeals citing four cases that neither opposing counsel nor the court could locate. Last week the court gave counsel 10 days to file copies of the four cases. This will not end well. #appellatesky

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world: Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died. This is catastrophic for the planet. So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Deeply concerning: US citizen lawyer getting detained and his phone searched on reentering the U.S. at Customs. www.freep.com/story/news/l...

Would require a significant investment and money but would be a great idea.

When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day. Nothing else is good enough.

WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

🚨BREAKING: Right now Republicans are moving forward on their efforts to give billionaires a $4.6 trillion handout—paid for by cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP. Arizonans can’t afford to foot the bill for Elon and his cronies, and they shouldn’t have to.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

NEW: DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.
