If I lived in the IL-09 district, I’d vote for Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social in the Dem primary today. She has courage in her convictions, and will stand up for what’s right, whether that’s against ICE or for immigrants.

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy. Are you seeing that message in media?

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody. That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Also being held at Dilley is a 7-year-old named Diana Crespo. She and her parents were detained in the parking lot of a hospital in Portland, Oregon, two weeks ago. Her parents were trying to get help for the second grader who had a long-lasting nosebleed — but they never made it inside the hospital

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve. The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵 I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Hey @khanna.house.gov maybe you should try saying something like this, if you want my vote next year.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Once again, I'm grateful to everyone bringing us live threads from courtrooms all over the country. These courtrooms are a front line of the administration's attack on our republic, and these threads are our first draft of the history of this time

HAPPENING NOW: Hello from Greenbelt, MD, where a federal judge will hear arguments over whether the Trump administration can invoke the state secrets privilege to withhold information about what it has done to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s return to the US. I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org 🧵

ok but this campaign launch from @katmabu.bsky.social ?! THIS is how you announce you’re running for office in 2025. refreshingly honest, clear-eyed, deeply values-driven — and actually exciting in a way politics rarely is anymore. (unsurprisingly) so, so good. 🧵👇

Normalize saying “I need to think about that.”

I want to write about something very stupid that happened to me yesterday. I don’t want to do it in a self-serving way but I do think it illustrates a good point. As the pardon news broke I was asked a question about it and I didn’t have a clear answer so I just said I had to think about it.

You are up to date.
