Trump has been caught making millions pumping a meme coin in exchange for dinner with him and a tour of the White House. This is not only unethical, it’s ILLEGAL.

Cruelty is what they want NO DUE PROCESS HAPPENING NOW AND NO ONE IS STOPPING THEM

It’s important to note this is not and was never about citizenship. It’s about removing diversity and dissent to authoritarian power. Every man denied due process deserves basic rights because they are human. But remember that they are just the first and no one is safe: www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

EXCLUSIVE: DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Please read this from Senator Murphy and then urge your elected officials to do everything in their power to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home.

Geo Group, the largest private prison operator in the U.S., has built technology that is aiding President Trump’s deportation efforts by providing the whereabouts of unauthorized immigrants to ICE, according to legal aid groups and immigration organizations.

The GOP is crafting a massively unpopular reconciliation bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for billionaires — and Republicans are now back home for congressional recess. Help us continue to turn up the heat and mobilize the public against this heinous bill: indivisible.org/muskorus

For decades, undocumented immigrants have trusted the IRS when it encouraged them to file. They've paid taxes in good faith, contributing nearly $100 BILLION per year and supporting social services they can't even access. Not only is this a total betrayal, but it's also illegal. We'll fight this.

NEW: @elfaroenglish.bsky.social identified a SECOND man sent to El Salvador and imprisoned who is married to a US citizen. Jesús Ríos entered the US at a port of entry in 2023 seeking asylum. His wife started the green card process in January. Like most sent to CECOT, he has no criminal record.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

75% have no criminal records. Just sit with that. www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

75%

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

OMG! Over 1500 people showed up in Anchorage, Alaska to say #HandsOFF our democracy, our veterans, our social security, our schools, our Medicaid, our jobs, our 401Ks and our democracy! #StandUPAlaska

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

MASSIVE SHIFT Pro-democracy channels on YouTube are now growing faster than right-wing channels for the first time. MeidasTouch is proud to lead the way as the fastest-growing YouTube channel in Q1 2025. Keep this momentum going: YouTube.com/@meidastouch

Commentary: In the Trump era, when many left-leaning voters are terrified of the federal government and furious about America’s transition to authoritarianism, Sen. Hickenlooper of Colorado has failed to adopt a corresponding resistance spirit. He is supremely vulnerable to a '26 primary challenge.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

Yep

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

Seeing Rumeysa Ozturk snatched off the street by masked thugs evoked the actions of so many tyrannies: The Basij is Iran, Mukhabarat in Egypt or Syria, Mano Blanca in Guatemala & El Salvador, FRAPH in Haiti. They're practicing on foreigners, they'll move onto citizens soon enough.

ICE does patently illegal shit, because no one is holding them accountable.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

There are more than 500,000 mostly white undocumented European and Canadian immigrants in the USA—But Trump is exclusively targeting Black and brown immigrants. It was never about ensuring “legal” immigration. It was always about upholding white supremacy. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-goes...

This is incredibly alarming.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

The Trump administration has announced a flurry of changes at the agency that oversees Social Security. Advocates warn these moves could lead to people having a harder time getting help with benefits.

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Trump and Musk are staging a coup. We must not give our leverage away.

This is exactly right but so commonly misunderstood.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
