Watching PoliticsGirl’s @politicsgirl.bsky.social podcast and I see Deidre Schifeling from the ACLU on the show. I worked for Deidre back in ‘04 on a local state senate race in NY as field staff. Memories!

I"m afraid that congressional Democrats are too scared to shut the government down over ICE again this month. They’re thinking it will hurt their chances in November. But it’s kind of sick to fund ICE what does that say?

How come people aren’t flying drones to follow ICE? Too expensive?

What MAGA doesn’t realize. We liberals can take away a lot of the culture you enjoy by not participating any longer. All those TV shows you like, all that music you listen to everything can be taken away. Maybe artists and creators need to think about this. Let them watch Kevin Sorbo.

MAGA is going to make us boycott all the Smithsonian museums. That’s sad.

The more violent I see ICE and CBP getting the more I"m reminded of Gene Sharp and nonviolence. You cannot respond with violence to the oppressor. We must unfortunately be willing to be brutalized but televised. That’s what they did during the Civil Rights Era. In a democracy it’s the only way.

I’m totally fine with Mayor Mamdani being my shadow POTUS right now.

Like the Kennedy Center people have to start thinking about non-cooperation with MAGA. Artists withdrawing from participation-we all have to in some way. Personally, in our lives is that MAGA person in your life really worth talking to or being around?
