🧵 Something folks are missing here: this raid wasn’t about “illegals taking American jobs.” It was about ICE storming the Hyundai–LG battery plant in Georgia, part of a $7.6B Metaplant project that isn’t even operational yet. They dragged out more than 300 South Korean engineers and specialists. People flown in to help stand the place up so it could eventually employ thousands of Georgians/Americans. This plant wasn’t scheduled to start running until late 2025 or early 2026. These workers weren’t taking jobs; they were building the factory that would create them.

Friends. Tonite I am sad. @TuckerCarlson believes me too short to date…and yet somehow, miraculously, I remain tall enough to not know what Victor Orban’s ass tastes like! Is it goulash Tucky? Seems like it would be goulash.

Abortion is a fundamental right for all women. It must be protected. I wish to express my solidarity with the women whose liberties are being undermined by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Buffalo shooter: “White birth rates must change…people must achieve a birth rate…that is about 2.06 births per woman.” SCOTUS: “the domestic supply of infants relinquished at birth or within the first month of life…had become virtually nonexistent.”

Footage has been found of an 11-year-old Prince supporting a Minneapolis teachers’ strike and being interviewed by a local TV station. “I think they should get some more money” because they’re “working extra hours for us and all that stuff,” Prince says. nyti.ms/3DTATY5

Anyone watching Judge Jackson’s hearing can see why @POTUS nominated her. She is phenomenal and has shown exceptional temperament throughout the entire hearing. When confirmed, she will be an outstanding Justice on the Supreme Court.

4 years ago, the Violence Against Women Act lapsed, endangering survivors of domestic & sexual violence. 2 years ago, the House reauthorized it, but it went nowhere under Mitch McConnell. Last week, we got VAWA across the finish line. Today, I watched @POTUS sign it into law.

In Odessa, a city full of sandbags and anti tank devices, a city awaiting invasion, afraid, there were many men in the streets yesterday, March 8, international women’s day, buying flowers and hurrying to bring them home. Don’t forget this.

We have to be able to talk abtthe harms of remote learning in a society where vaccines are available for all teachers without being accused of being anti-union or anti-teacher. We can disagree on what is the best thing to do when there are no good options without that accusation.
