Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign.

Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Yes, sorry should have named it. A child died of it last year from an infection she contracted when she was too young to be vaccinated.

I don't think it's extreme to say anti-vaxxers killed her

It's 1992, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2008, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east and a recession.

It's 2026, there's a Republican president with a war in the middle east...

I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

The booke of love ys long & boringe
No folk kan lyft the damned thinge
Crammid ful of charters & lore & rubrics
And ynstructiouns for daunsing -
But Ich? Ich love it whan thou readest to me;
And thee, thou kanst reade me eny thinge.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

When I tell you I have no distance from this Minneapolis story.

I can't muster composure. I did human rights observing in N. Ireland for 10 yrs. In the U.S., I video'd cop violence.

2008, St. Paul cops kicked in the door pointing guns at me and my crew. Days later a battering ram was at my office.

side discussion but anyone saying the real issue with ICE is a lack of proper training is subtly arguing for increased funding and should probably be ignored going forward regarding all substantive matters

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Finally after about 20 minutes of digging around, I found out where we vote in person tomorrow for the special election in RVA. The city and state websites could make it a heck of a lot easier to find for the future, put a giant banner on each webpage, I know y'all can do it.

We will remember the traitors who sold out the American people. I hope they never know a moment of peace for this.

The issue isn’t that there are revolting deranged bigots in America. The issue isn’t even that they have their own following. The issue is that they are prominent advisors and friends to the President of the United States and his team.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

UPDATE: Nick is in good spirits and recovering in hospital. The doctor told me the injury was so bad that they treated it as if it were a gunshot wound. Part of a stun grenade traveled deep into the tissue and was only visible by a cat scan. He sends his love and appreciation for all the support.

Between the fires and these protests, I hope this year teaches everyone that most of the shit talking you hear about California and more specifically, LA, comes from racists and gentrifying transplants. Most people love living here and would do anything to protect it.
