What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/
Defend Online Privacy: Stop the SCREEN Act!
The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on the SCREEN Act on August 5. ACT NOW to stop it!

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.
I am not a scientist, but this seems bad. I miss when we didn't have a frequent apocalyptic wildfires season.
"In its installation form, Eavesdropping runs as a continuous telephone experience. The line is open 24/7. Callers and visitors encounter fragments from a private story that has already begun, may never end, and seems to change depending on who is listening." whitneygeorge.com/installation...

On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic. Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic. Money managers should DIVEST from $GEO $CXW www.nj.com/essex/2026/0...
This N.J. town just pulled $91M from Citizens Bank over ICE
Two N.J. municipalities have now pulled more than $330 million combined, according to the De-ICE Citizens Bank coalition.

Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli
“'We [the People]' includes people like Mr. Martínez, Mr. Guerrero, Mr. Villegas González and Mr. Salgado Araujo and so many others whose names have not appeared in news reports. Mr. Guerrero was one of us. We should remember his name just as we remember Ms. Good and Mr. Pretti."

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 3w agoICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:
This is very bad.
Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · 3w agoNEW: Under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, acting AG Todd Blanche said he would review Biden-era DOJ guidance on the Comstock Act if confirmed to the role. Comstock is an 1873 anti-obscenity law that conservatives want to use to stop the mailing of abortion pills in all 50 states @autonomynews.co
Oh look, it's Tom Suozzi insisting that we give billions to another country for war crimes while people in his district struggle to pay for basic necessities. As usual.

When you forget to have in-house counsel vet your murder confession.
This might be a bit advanced for the average ICE officer in 2026, but "executing" an arrest warrant is not supposed to involve an execution in the homicide sense of the word. Joan Sebastian Guerrero should be alive. His 3 y.o. should have her dad. Abolish and prosecute ICE.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero, 26, was not the target of the warrant agents were trying to execute, federal officials said.

Trump on Lindsey Graham: "He had one bad moment in the January 6 thing when he stood up -- 'alright, now I've had it, that's it, I can't do it anymore' -- then he called me about 40 minutes later and said, 'Did I really said that? I can't believe it.' And he took it back."
Shocking that a Republican would be hypocritical like this. /s
ProPublica@propublica.org · 3w agoTexas AG Ken Paxton vowed to “stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity.” But experts say he may have violated state law by using an address where he no longer appears to live to vote in six elections in two years. w/ @texastribune.org
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.
We cannot allow El Obeid to become another El Fasher.
Free healthcare would solve so many problems for people in this country. So many.
Hey Chicago! An ICE contractor is trying to buy our parking meters — and City Council decides whether that happens THIS WEEK. We've got time to stop this, but we need as many people as possible to fight back: tinyurl.com/icepark
Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
My condolences to Lindsey Graham's family. I have nothing positive to say for the man himself. It is impossible to know how many lives Graham had a hand in ruining or ending. Far too many. Graham's death is a reminder to spend the time you have here loving others and doing good. He didn't.
I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.
Alex Ip 葉清霖@alexip718.com · 4w agoWhat Rachel Bitecofer is doing to Georgia Rep. Ruwa Romman on X is Islamophobic, racist, and disgusting. I will not share it here to spare your day, but no serious candidate should retain her services moving forward
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo should still be alive. My heart breaks for his family and all who loved him. Our government should not be in the business of executing people. Abolish and prosecute ICE.

Frankly I never listen to people (esp white people) who tell me that things are "impossible." I see how quickly white capitalists move to save capitalism from itself.
If anyone in Long Island has been looking for an adorable kitten, there is one available for adoption at the hospital that's currently in the process of saving my own cat's life. (Based in Nassau) Consider giving Cowboy a home (can confirm he is super sweet.) Please DM me if interested!

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.
