David Huerta’s arrest wasn’t an accident. It was a message. And we got the message loud and clear: this administration is coming for working people. But guess what? We’re coming right back. Louder, stronger, more united than ever. #UnionsForAll

Between Baraka, Iver, and Padilla - you gotta ask why it’s only our legislators of color taking these risks. Disproportionate punishment will reign down on them but they are alone in going directly to places where abuses of power are happening. Meanwhile, white moderates debate “distractions”.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

By far, one of the most powerful reads I have come across over the years. Short, deeply personal, and profoundly succinct, this is a personal account of being a kid, following orders at Kent State. Still processing it myself. open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

A long-running U.S. investigation of MS-13 has uncovered evidence at odds with Bukele’s reputation as a crime fighter. The inquiry, which began as an effort to dismantle the gang’s leadership, expanded to focus on whether the Bukele government cut a secret deal with MS-13 in the early years of ….

I see lots of pics a beautiful birds on here and thank you for them. For those of you who are interested in birds, I recommend the free “Merlin Bird ID” app. A friend introduced me to it and it is wonderful. It uses your phone’s mic to identify bird calls near you and teaches you about each bird.

Nearly every media request I’ve gotten lately has been about the DNC Vice Chair fight. They don’t print me when instead I talk about the 10M Americans who are about to lose their healthcare. Can we please go back to focusing on what matters now?
