- Seriously, y'all, if you love books and smart reviewing, subscribe to Ron Charles's Substack! Also, Jeff Bezos sucks. #books #booksky

- WAPO's firing of their #book critic is absolutely on-brand in an era that despises intellect or information and especially can't abide reading and books. Reading builds empathy and compassion. The current administration, aided and abetted by Jeff Bezos and his ilk, has declared war on empathy.

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckThis is the facility I was denied entry to a week ago - even though I'm the top Democrat on the committee that funds DHS and I gave them plenty of notice. I told you they were hiding something. They were.
- Perfect!

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckYes, who wrote this email to Jeffrey Epstein — and why did DOJ redact his name?
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckIt hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckI don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

- A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

- I guess we take our allies where we can find them, but enforcing terrible policies incompetently is a piss poor complaint. So looking forward to his replacement by Roy Cooper. #NCpol

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckThis is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckI want you to stop and think about what kind of country we're living in when a major metropolitan paper is publishing this story. Is that the kind of country you want to live in? I sure hope not.

- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckJust kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-Ramspeck“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckSo far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
- Greg Bovino repeatedly calls Alex Pretti “the suspect” and ICE officers “the victims,” while denying what is obvious from multiple angles of multiple videos. We’re supposed to trust their “investigation.” Orwellian.
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckThe nurses are pissed
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckHey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
- Reposted by Beth Sutton-RamspeckReminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
