THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Greetings, new friends! You may know me as an author, a prolific Bluesky poster and 4th place finisher on So You Call That Dancing? But you might not know that my partner Judith (@mzpress) and I have an online arts bookstore that's growing every day. Full inventory here: mzs.press/EVERYTHING-W...

@governor.ca.gov I don’t understand why CA State Police need to be exempted from the no mask law, that’s a terrible concession and you need to support and sign the amendment for a complete mask ban for ALL Local, State, and Federal officers in CA except for active undercover officers.

@senslotkin.bsky.social if Murkowski and Kennedy think it’s a good idea, IT’S A BAD IDEA! NO MASKS, JUDICIAL WARRANTS, JOINT INVESTIGATIONS.
Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES can DHS agents (ICE, CBP, Border Patrol, DEA, etc.) be allowed to wear facial coverings! They do not have the right to anonymously threaten law abiding citizens. NO FACIAL COVERINGS! It’s non-negotiable!
Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested some activists who were trailing their vehicles in Minneapolis, a sign that tensions have not eased since the departure last week of Greg Bovino. At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground.
@jaketapper.bsky.social @cnn.com @kristenwelker.bsky.social make sure you ask Tom Homan is this is proper procedure and whether the officers will face any disciplinary action.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov I don’t think I need to ask either one of you to do this, but do want to ask that you strongly encourage @schumer.senate.gov and other colleagues to push this on a united front!
Please call your senators and tell them to demand rescission of the ICE/CBP funding under the BBB.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov time to stop listening to the strategists and start listening to your constituents!
The murder of Alex Pretti might prove to be a political turning point for the GOP. It should be a turning point for Dems, too. For the current leadership, and the consultant-industrial complex, which just fatally endangered the careers of seven members who chose to put morality last.
@kristenwelker.bsky.social @jaketapper.bsky.social show this to anyone from the Trump Administration that says officers firing were in fear for their safety. If you are going to let the administration lie then you are just their mouthpiece.
We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was a nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. In the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov either unite your party and members against the lawless Trump regime or move aside to let other do it! ENOUGH!
Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are. If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.
Will @kristenwelker.bsky.social @jaketapper.bsky.social let ICE Barbie and others come on and gaslight Americans or will they call out their bullshit?
