The Trump administration is threatening to arrest Congress members who were performing their oversight duties. Targeting elected officials for opposing the president's agenda is straight out of authoritarian playbooks. We won't allow Trump and DHS to intimidate us into submission.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Never again is now. Stand up for human rights. #StopICE #DueProcess

This part

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations? On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

They never cared about the constitution or the world of law and they’re starting to admit it. Even scarier, she was in the military. The military is not going to save us.

This is what a solid headline and reporting looks like from a news organization that has not capitulated to the current U.S. regime. Thank you, @apnews.com

"Hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. and around the world rallied Thursday in May Day protests that united many in anger over President Donald Trump’s agenda from aggressive tariffs that are stoking fears of global economic turmoil to his administration’s immigration crackdowns."

Please read these powerful words from Bishop Barber. Now is the time to rise and resist. "Now is the time for each of us to stand up and speak up." 🧵 1/8 ourmoralmoment.substack.com/p/we-must-ar...

Here we are. Indiscriminate Gestapo raids on homes. Stole everything. Traumatized women and children and abandoned them with nothing. No money, no phones, nothing. Lied about who was involved. We do not have to just take it. We can organize, rise, and resist. We are not helpless if we work together.

Pritzker: As a Ukrainian American Jew who built a holocaust museum… let me say this to Donald Trump: Stop tearing down the constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about combatting anti-semitism.

Governor Pritzker laying down truth!

An antidote to facism is more community.

Read this, right now 👇 The time to rise is now. We must organize and mass mobilize

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day. Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy. BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

This is where we’re headed, hopefully soon. Reach out to your friends, co-workers, neighbors and family members who might be ready to join us. #Indivisible #Resist open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Please don’t forget about Andry Hernandez Romero. He is in the gulag in El Salvador where he is suffering from torture. He is not a criminal and was kidnapped by ICE for absolutely no reason other than he was Venezuelan. Please repost because all the men in the Gulag had no due process.

NEW: The Trump administration admitted in a court filing that ICE lied about having an arrest warrant when they detained our client Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation for his protected speech. This confirms what we already knew: The government is intent on punishing Mahmoud by any means necessary.

I’m running for the US Senate because after nearly 30 years in DC, Susan Collins hasn’t changed the system – she’s part of it. Join our campaign today: ElectJordan.com

I was in second grade when Susan Collins was first elected. Now, I’m 35, a husband, and a father. Susan Collins is still in the Senate, still just “concerned” while Trump cuts off funding to Maine food banks and public schools. We need a new generation of leadership.

My god. He’s gone after the Civil Rights Act!!!! www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

god this shit is blood boiling

Big win for NC to ensure free and fair elections. 'On Wednesday a bipartisan judicial panel agreed, in a 2-1 ruling, that the election changes violated the state constitution. Giving control of elections to Boliek instead of Stein is clearly unconstitutional, they wrote"

Already here

"The only viable defense is solidarity: nonprofits must act together, loudly and visibly, to defend democratic norms and the rights of the people they serve. Collective action...is the only force capable of meeting an authoritarian movement with equal resolve."

Imagine being in politics for this long and saying this on the record. HOW ARE REGULAR PEOPLE TAKING DAILY COURAGEOUS ACTION AND YOU WITH SOOOOOO MUCH POWER ARE BLEATING ON ABOUT BEING AFRAID????? Disgusting.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

The Vice President of El Salvador has told US Senator Van Hollen that the reason they are still holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia is due to the Trump regime paying them to do so. Trump needs to be arrested and brought up on human trafficking charges. #3E

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
