What to Do If You Encounter an ICE Agent. (print / share). ICE often operate without identification, contributing to fear, confusion, and potential abuse. Demanding accountability helps protect communities and exposes operations that may be unethical or unlawful. #3E #StopICE

Sumner PSA

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Make sure #Congress hears from you by phone email, and @resist.bot has a fax option for a few ‘coins’ or an inexpensive suscription: Heres a letter to click, sign & share resist.bot/petitions/PS...

An amazing tidbit in @punchbowlnews.bsky.social today tells us everything we need to know about the Republican Party. (And Mitch McConnell, of course, but in his case we already knew it.) #MitchMcConnell

Call me old fashioned, but I prefer presidents who don’t drop f-bombs on national television. 🤷‍♀️

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

Our nation and planet cannot survive four years of this. It is not sustainable.

The peace president just bombed Iran. Art by @slyngstad.bsky.social — Instagram handle is @slyngstad_cartoons 🙌

😞

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

💯. There is no strategy, only impulses to quench an unquenchable narcissistic thirst.

Tomorrow is a very good day to impeach a president and his entire cabinet. Today would be good too, but tomorrow will work for me.

Agreed, although I don’t think semantics will matter much to to the innocent people of Iran and the rest of the world.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Call your Senators

When Trump said, Iran is ‘very close’ to building a nuclear bomb—it was a self-own. We wouldn’t be here if Trump hadn’t backed out of the Obama Iran nuclear deal.

The worst part about #BombingIran is that Republicans are trying to force through the #OBBB, which will end #Medicaid, and Democracy as we know it. They're distracting us from a REALLY, REALLY BAD thing, with another really really bad thing. We can multitask. Light up those lines. (202) 224-3121

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

hearing netanyahu — a war criminal bombing nearby countries in violation of international law, presiding over an apartheid system, and overseeing a genocide in gaza — call iran the “world’s most dangerous regime” is going to make my head explode

You’re a special kind of delusional if you think you can bomb Iran and expect peace.

This is the most important thing I have written recently that you probably haven't read. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

We are the truly the worst and half of the people in the United States refuse to admit it.

I’m third in line at my local library to read the new E. Jean Carroll book 🍿

How do you kidnap and deport millions of people? How do you meet a quota of 3,000 apprehensions a day? Racial profiling and indiscriminate abductions. Nobody is safe: #MAGAKidnappers

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Just going to join the host of lawyers and academics who are screaming at the press that THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T GET TO DECLARE WAR ALL ON HIS OWN no matter how special a boy he thinks he is.

What’s happening in the U.S. is not normal.

Donate to CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) if you can and spread the word about the latest fuckery from the sad excuse for a senator from Missouri, Josh Hawley. Visit chirla.org to read the full press release and to donate.

Just like every other failure, he will declare victory and the right wing shills will back him up. But in private, they know the country is against them. Good work today, everyone. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Everyone please ask the President how his birthday was. For the next three years.
