Watch and listen to @whitehouse.senate.gov absolutely blast Ted Cruz's lies while sitting directly next to him 🤣🤣🤣

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

#ProudBlue Video credit: @jesscraven101.bsky.social The horrific trauma Los Angeles is experiencing right now is real. The pure emotion Jess shows in this video is being felt by most of us here.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime. My generation has witnessed anti-progress. A cultivated backpedal. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Trump is back to selling scams—this time, it's a $499 phone. He’s doing what he does best: turning the presidency into a business deal. Republicans spent years investigating the Bidens despite no evidence of corruption or pay to play. (1/2)

Padilla: The President, VP, and their allies have continued to call all the protesters out there insurrectionists. Yes, this is the same man who provoked an actual insurrection at our capitol on January 6.

Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away." Other reporters say they have been targeted too. My story below:

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

Your senator deserves and extra phone call focusing on this issue alone.

BREAKING: Minnesota Gov. Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in a shooting, calling it a “politically motivated assassination.”

I really needed to see this today. Maybe someone else does too...

It’s #TyrannyTuesday on Thursday. @rogueva.altgov.info & I are walking through the lessons in Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny. Every week it gets harder to keep up. The modern examples are happening now & every week there are more and more. This week I am covering Lesson 10:Believe in Truth. 1/39

I think she covered it there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

This is what’s happening

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Here’s Trump on September 15, 2020 acknowledging he knows the law prohibits him from calling the National Guard across the country unless the governor requests it. The internet is forever.

You can report this attempted child abduction, a felony (CPC §278.5 PC), to the Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, at (213) 974-3512.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Reporter: There’s a pretty good chance Trump might be watching Newsom: I hope so, he might learn something— rescind this order— it’s illegal. You’re creating the conditions you claim you’re solving and you’re not

“Both sides are bad” Sir one side is stomping on unarmed people with horses…

Provocation is the standing order. So many have shown admirable restraint. Mad respect.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations. And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL. It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

I know we’re all talking about the boys fighting but we can lose sight of what’s ACTUALLY happening right now… act.link/gi-evelm

Judge Duncan of the Fifth Circuit has absolutely no idea of the motivations of librarians who curate their collections. Duncan needs to keep his opinions to himself. Censors who want to remove books from shelves are bullshit snokeflakes. www.libraryjournal.com/story/librar...

They're arresting immigrants at a federal building and taking them to the basement. "A couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water." www.cbsnews.com/news/immigra...

NEW: Virginia's two most populous cities voted Harris in November, and both have Republican sheriffs up for reelection this year, at a time where sheriffs are rushing to help ICE. There's no Democrat, or indy, challenging either sheriff. Main filing deadline passed; a final one is in two weeks.

We must stand up against this senseless cruelty.

Well…we are all going to die right, Joni Ernst.
