From a dear friend of mine, first-hand experience with this #fascist government #FreeMahmoud #FreeThemAll #NoFascism #NoNazis

El Salvador prison labor Of course El Salvador wants them Those deported from Venezuela No due process Unbelievable cruelty This is NOW WHAT TRUMP IS DOING El Salvador prison Over crowding, beatings, food deprivation This prison video from CNA (channel news asia) Horrific

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

If you’re in the neighborhood…

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

The Democratic ranking member bringing the fire in this video is Bill Keating of Massachusetts (his district includes Provincetown).

Pro-Palestine activist and legal U.S. resident Mahmoud Khalil wasn’t arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for committing an actual crime, but because Secretary of State Marco Rubio had personally determined that he had to go. newrepublic.com/post/192624/...

Trump/Musk/GOP’s federal attack on public education is beginning.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Outrageous. Apparently, if Trump doesn't like it that makes it "illegal."

The stakes are just too high.

The new head of the FDA division that regulates infant formula was in recent months a corporate lawyer defending a top formula maker from claims that its product gave rise to debilitating harm to premature babies.

Musk and Republican lawmakers have described judges as threats to democracy, turning the role of the federal judiciary on its head.

DOGE is canceling government contracts that help veterans. Records show among the 875 contracts were arrangements to help medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors, and provide burial services to veterans.

“Making America Unemployed Again” was not on the campaign hats. The Trump admin is slashing federal jobs like it’s a clearance sale. Veterans? IRS? CDC? No one’s safe. And they’re even using an AI to do the dirty work. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Even Fox News person points out the problem!

Breaking news: Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the mail provider and trillions of dollars of ecommerce transactions into turmoil.

That's really outrageous. The whole purpose of the independence of regulatory agencies is so that Presidents DO NOT interfere with their functioning! He can't simply say, "oh. I don't like that. I'm changing that."

Vanity Fair: In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions “They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,”a fmr member of Trump’s 1st administration said

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

We want more! #resist

I must admit I was mistaken about RFK, Jr. He is just a pawn of Trump. Terrible. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

When termination letters were sent to employees across the federal government last week, it affected an agency charged with the readiness of America’s nuclear arsenal. Here’s a rundown of what the National Nuclear Security Administration does.
