- I wonder how many reposts I can get away with without annoying @skamille.themanagerswrath.com too much. I repost when I want to cross pollinate and also to bear witness to the evil of the world today. I haven’t figure out, much, what I can do about it, so I vent by reposting.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

- Reposted by Kathy TafelMy family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government. Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp. My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

- One of my favorite places for lunch was Café Claude in SF. First time I had a croque monsieur. It took me at least a half hour to get there. Now I can have them almost every day if I wanted. With cheaper French wine. And just a block from my house.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelThe files show that Rowan was in contact with Epstein from 2013 through August 2016 when he introduced him to PERRY SHWACHMAN. Rowan is a Penn alum who was on the board for the Wharton School until recently, and a business partner of Leon Black.

- Reposted by Kathy TafelOur founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

- Reposted by Kathy TafelOne of the reasons why there are the horrific transporter accidents in Star Trek is because you know deep down part of the transporter software has regexes in it.
- Reposted by Kathy Tafel⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 It was the first all-Black protest in America that most people never heard of. It was the loudest protest ever—all without saying a word.🤫 Let me tell you about The Silent Parade of 1917. (cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

- Reposted by Kathy TafelTherein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents. This is how trust collapses.

- Reposted by Kathy TafelTear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelFrom 2019: Jeffrey Epstein liked to describe himself as a “science philanthropist,” and academics liked to take his money. As more of Epstein’s enablers are uncovered, it’s worth asking why it was so easy for him to infiltrate science in the first place. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social:

- Reposted by Kathy TafelWe didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelThey should be impeaching him every single day. New crime, new impeachment. They should keep impeaching him once he’s out of office. They should keep impeaching him after he’s dead.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelIf you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelAbolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelDHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelPalantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.
- Reposted by Kathy TafelIt’s hard to focus on one thing to be appalled about, but these stories out of Minnesota are awful. (And, of course, on the other hand, very encouraging.) I cannot believe you can wrongly grab somebody, transport them, and then leave them where YOU took them.

- Reposted by Kathy TafelA newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half. ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers. Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story
- Reposted by Kathy TafelIn Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis. snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...
- Just. Why?
- Hey hivemind: my Sonos Amp line in just wore out and tech support says ‘these things just break eventually.’ So rather than buy another piece of their kit which will break 2 months after the warranty ends, I want to get a 4 channel mixer. What are my prosumer options? TIA
- Reposted by Kathy TafelThe fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

- Reposted by Kathy TafelWe've just learned that the man in this video, Ian Austin, was among those arrested by federal officials. More info to come soon.
- Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

- Reposted by Kathy TafelVideo shows ICE pulling over a couple for “staring,” who immediately prove they are U.S. citizens. Agents demand the car keys, a Fourth Amendment violation, and falsely claim the driver must be registered to the vehicle. ICE is not authorized to conduct traffic stops in this situation.

- Reposted by Kathy Tafela woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.
