This is outrageous. Un-American. Straight from an authoritarian playbook. ICE has no business knowing how you voted. It’s time to wake the hell up. Our democracy is under threat.
David Gilbert@davidgilbert.bsky.social · 4w agoNEW ICE wants to build a nationwide database of voters, their voting history and, potentially, their party affiliations too. ....and it's willing to pay someone up to $5M to do it www.wired.com/story/ice-pl...

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you
There’s a fire in our area and the sun is setting through the smoke. I noticed the light through the window left a vivid orange streak across our puzzle of the earth hanging on the wall, so I took a picture. I dunno felt kind of apropos

‘Melissophobia’ is a fear of bees. ‘Mel’ is Latin for “honey.” The name, ‘Melissa,’ comes from the Greek word for “honeybee.” In Greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph who fed the infant Zeus honey instead of milk. Later, the gods turned her into a bee (spoiler alert).

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention. So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption. 1/ Here it is - in one🧵
When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.
Tonight’s storm was insane, even though it skirted around us. I’ve never seen so much nearly continuous lightning in my life. Caught a few cool strikes.
Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

Hungary's elections were rigged. But 80% of the electorate showed up. Fascism was defeated. Voters were too big to rig. We CAN beat them, but we have to make a plan and show up no matter what. We have to overwhelm the polls. Make 2026 #TooBigToRig
