@ms.now - I joined, the quality of the picture is very good, thank you. I'd really like to have a pause, rewind and resume button on the live broadcasts. Is that possible?? Thanks.

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

"A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways " - I don't think there are any constitutional ways to 'retaliate' against Peaceful protesters. So I'm glad judge ruled this.

If Kemp’s not willing to use GA’s 14.6 billion surplus (9 bil is undesignated and 5.6 bil is a rainy day fund) to help fund SNAP, what the hell is he going to use it for?? I can’t think of anything more important than keeping people from starving. www.11alive.com/article/news...

The Trump admin dumped half a dozen men with serious criminal records in the Kingdom of Eswatini, where they are being jailed indefinitely despite all having finished serving criminal sentences in the United States. It’s a disturbing situation.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

“Oh, Kara — why did you put that in my head?” @karaswisher.bsky.social and Rachel Maddow wonder why Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, has a podcast — and end up scarred for life by her mayonnaise talk with JD Vance.

The Trump administration quietly slashed federal funding for gun violence prevention, even as shootings surged. It should be immediately reinstated. Instead of surrendering to the gun lobby, Congress should pass the assault weapons ban now.

reuters.comExclusive: Trump administration slashed federal funding for gun violence preventionThe Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants that had been directed to groups in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Baltimore.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

The budget increase for ice is massive.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Senator Scott Wiener@scottwiener.bsky.social

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

Joyce White Vance@joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

This is a 4 part thread from Timothy Snyder. If you aren't following him, now's a good time to start.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
