@KFILE .@TheDemocrats this is no time to be messing with a loose cannon.

@RoguePOTUSStaff @TheDemocrats TBF, "misanthrope" wouldn't have had the same zing.

[Noriko Manabe 真鍋乃理子 @nmanabe.bsky.social @nmanabe]

@RoguePOTUSStaff It's a spot-on metaphor for the state of things.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

@LizzieKFoley @SenatorAndyKim yeah, you'd never see Madam What-was-her-name putting herself on the line.

It looks like Murphy stopped publishing his direct appointments on 6/30/2025. This means it's very hard to see who he appointed in his last few months of office. The only way to know is via time consuming public records research.

@WeWillBeFree24 No thanks!

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better.

This seems highly illegal.

And if it somehow is allowed to continue, why would anyone else enter into any sort agreement with this administration?

President Bush on the life and service of Robert Mueller.

@RoguePOTUSStaff The law seems firm for paper currency but not so much with coins. Although it is a real choice to want to be the second living president after Calvin Coolidge to appear on a commemorative coin. https://t.co/c9ij3ehste

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

The SAVE America Act doesn’t “Save” America. And this isn’t about voter ID. This bill requires everyone to re-register to vote in person and your driver’s license, REAL ID, or military ID aren’t even good enough. Imagine all of our seniors who don’t have valid passports and haven’t seen their birth certificates in decades? What about them? How hard will it be for them to register? And how do they get a passport if they can’t find their birth certificates? And what about the cost? If this becomes law, it will disenfranchise many Americans.

[Shawn VanDiver @shawnjvandiver]

This man was 41 years old and had 6 kids, the youngest of which is an 18-month-old American citizen.

He fought our war for us.

Now he is dead, less than 24 hours after being taken into custody by ICE.

We need investigations NOW.

[Noriko Manabe 真鍋乃理子 @nmanabe.bsky.social @nmanabe]

@MrChuckD I want to hear your track about this!

[Noriko Manabe 真鍋乃理子 @nmanabe.bsky.social @nmanabe]

@LizzieKFoley This might also be an argument for ranked choice voting in primaries.

I was interviewed by Axios on recent protest music about ICE. https://t.co/6cxMZZUdiV
