OK this is one of these times when I REALLY hate how West-centric Bluesky is as a platform because Iraq Twitter would have had all the news about what's been going on in Baghdad tonight.

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

This Delaney Hall curfew likely violates both the U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions, and certainly violates them both by failing to exempt press. Press require sight and sound access to do their job. Think of them like a first responder, running to danger to keep public informed.

"What should the public expect at 9:01 PM at Delaney Hall tonight?" New Jersey State Police Lt. Colonel David Sierotowicz: "There is a curfew in place, please stay away from that area." "Are members of the media exempt?" "No they are not."

Mikie Sherrill is pulling the same stunt Pritzker and Walz did, defending state police violence against peaceful anti-ICE protesters as necessary to protect the public from DHS, who would be “so much worse” and it’s incredible they don’t hear how abusive this logic is

Mikie Sherrill campaigned on "I'm a tough military pilot who isn't afraid of Trump and will stand up to Trump!" The first time she's tested, she works with ICE to beat up her own citizens. And her backers explain "she's working with Trump STRATEGICALLY, because she's scared of Trump." OK, got it.

This lawyer represents New Jersey Democrats and national Democratic Party. He cheers using militarized state troopers to crush protesters as a *strategic move* to protect residents from being brutalized by different cops. The Democratic establishment will walk us off a cliff.

There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world.

I have constructed a very simple and badly formatted flowchart so that liberals can understand the position of leftists on the Democratic party

Parents: we hate the tech Teachers: we hate the tech Local admin: we hate the tech Tech companies: here’s lots of tech! Media: whoa so much cool tech Politicians: thanks for the donation let’s get tech in schools!

This article frames tech as a battleground between parents and schools. But I was chatting the other day with a school official who's leading an effort to shift her district away from device-based learning, and she told me--every teacher she's talked to is on board. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/t...

This framing from @eastbaytimes.com is so irresponsible. A teen driver failed to yield to an e-bike rider while exiting a parking lot, then panicked after the collision & sped across the street also hitting & killing a boy. But the driver responsible for the death is absent from their description.

Doctors and public officials describe a growing number of serious crashes involving electric devices that can go as fast as 28 mph — much faster with modifications — and little legal recourse.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

The biggest form of political correctness in America is that basically every single conservative commentator is a gutter bigot and it's just universally understood that it's beyond the pale to ever acknowledge that.

Here's the exchange from last week. Oakland has still not signed a contract with Flock, and video surveillance capacities OPD said it needed to continue crime reductions don't exist. Absolutely silence from the right wingers who claimed video surveillance was indispensable.

Wait a minute. ONLY 50? Is this a joke? Every one should. Every single one. They're horrible at this truly. And yes I could do it much better.

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 4mo ago

Trump may have backed down for now, but he’s shown how unhinged he is by threatening the death of a “whole civilization.” I’m heading back to DC to try and get answers for the American people. Congress needs to return to the Capitol immediately and vote to end this war.

there wasn't a lot left to ruin but my brain is currently fully broken that people with power let a man hold the entire world hostage for like 9 hours with an existential threat. insane country. broken.

this is deadly serious now. this is easily the most consequential moment in time of my entire half century on the planet. and what will anyone in a position to do anything do? the moment will not be met

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Come on then, and remove him.

Watching millions of American fail to stop this global train wreck is so painful. I don’t care if you’re a podcaster, politician or random, you can take action right now.
