The new @lastweektonight.com piece on juvenile incarceration featured several @ProPublica stories. First up was our 2021 investigation with @wpln.bsky.social about young Black kids in Tennessee jailed for a crime that doesn't exist: www.propublica.org/article/blac...

You know, I don't have a problem with sexual harassment being something that permanently disqualifies someone from holding public office.

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

And they don't care. They will spend money they aren't allocated anyway because this admin is s criminal enterprise.

Funding cuts to Medicaid and other programs included in the sweeping tax-and-spending bill would hurt low-income households financially more than the tax cuts would boost their finances, according to nonpartisan analyses of the bill.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Rep. Moulton: "Hegseth's saying that he thinks he and the administration are above the law. That's always been the attitude of this administration and Donald Trump: politicize the military, use the military for their political goals, and show America that they are above the law."

Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman was a friend who worked with Gabby to stop gun violence. We’re thinking of her children, who've now lost both their parents, and we’re praying for Sen. Hoffman and his wife, who are still fighting for their lives. Stay strong.

There's no bottom for Trump, Musk, Cernovich, or any MAGA influencer referenced below. They'll lie for profit daily, without concern for the pain they cause or the deaths their words could incite. Anyone reading these animals simply put _wants_ to be lied to.

A nightmare. 🙏🏾

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

Womp womp womp.....

Facts matter.

💔💔💔

Yes this!

Tim Snyder: Today no kings, tomorrow freedom. There is a better America out there. There is a better America underneath. There is a better America that we can see. There is a better America that we can make. History is in our hands.

“No Kings Day”: A compilation

Reporter: I'm going to show you what 20,000 people in the streets of downtown Los Angeles looks like

Sen. Blumenthal: "I think the president should call on the Senate to vote on approval of the Russian sanction bill literally tomorrow...This moment cries out for presidential leadership. There's an urgency here."

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

That would be a very bad choice.

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

"Who could have guessed that that was gonna come back to bite us" Watch the latest episode of Conway Explains now with @gtconway.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social!

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

This year alone, the ACLU and our affiliates have conducted over 150 Know Your Rights trainings, where we’ve ensured supporters are informed on how to use their rights, follow the law, and advocate for our communities while keeping each other safe. Community care is part of our resistance.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

This breaks my heart
