Fremdschämen is the word for that in case you were looking for the applicable german compound noun.
Tom, it's time to get out of the house. 😂
Having followed her from the time of her first run in the Bronx -recommending to all the young folks in our life to volunteer for that campaign - I could not agree more.
Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
This is so important. These are low-key torture centers that sicken and kill people. Thank you so much, @rgoodlaw.bsky.social
And our failed reaction to it. As the original post said. It will forever elude me why the reaction was lukewarm to this and Guantanamo and many other instances of elite impunity for grave violations of the rule of law.
On a day that was bitter cold. No normal New Yorker would set foot outside for a protest that did not feel existential.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
That is just unbelievable. We will work hard to support their replacements.
Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.

Everyone knows not to mess with the Swiss. Especially in the mountains.
That's it. People are bemoaning the lack of leaders. This is leadership! Do what Sherrilyn says.

congress should have repealed the espionage act long ago or, at the very least, codified holder's rules and passed a reporters' shield law. but no, and here we are, and it will get worse.

Thank you! Very kind of you. So beautiful.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
I can picture it now and will bring the camera!
I am crying 😂😂😂😂 but fr, I bet there is quite a few folks thinking I bet I can go somewhere else and do quite well in a country with a more solid foundation. Now, point me to the Aventura of countries.
Except for some of the women, apparently ;)
In retrospect having an elite class composed of people who are really good at rising through the ranks by not rocking the boat left us in a really, really bad place at the moment that elite institutions faced their greatest moral test
As the mom of a five-year-old reading this and imagining what this family is going through made me physically ill. Unimaginable evil is being perpetrated before our eyes and with our tax dollars.
Today is #GivingTuesday and we're asking you to stand with our friends at @unitedwedream.org and support the Defending Our Neighbors Fund to ensure that immigrants under attack have access to legal representation. Please give if you can!!! defendingourneighbors.org/frequently-a...
