Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Bezos just made a multi billion $ deal with the killers who murdered a journalist at the paper he owns. I hope the entire staff of The Washington Post goes on strike in solidarity w/ their fellow journalist Jamal #Khashoggi, who was cut apart with hacksaws at the command of the Saudi government.

Every journalist knows that if they stand against Trump, they could get fired, sued, their loved ones could lose funding or get deported, and in the future they could be prosecuted and sent to jail. The chilling effect has already started. Pay attention to the journalists who stand up anyway.

Reminder: we don’t have the FDA and CDC for funsies. We have these agencies because we have decades of experience of how bad things get when no one looks at food safety, drug safety, and works to prevent diseases.

@mealsonwheelsmn.bsky.social and other safety net programs for older adults are at risk thanks to the dismantling of the Administration for Community Living, looming budget cuts and higher costs. My latest for @healthjournalism.org looks at what's at stake: healthjournalism.org/blog/2025/04...

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

This administration sent 200+ fathers, sons, and husbands to be tortured in a foreign prison for the rest of their lives. 9 in 10 have no criminal record. None received any due process. If you aren’t outraged, you need to check your fucking humanity.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for your leadership and tenacity. You’re the kind of leader we need right now. @schumer.senate.gov take note.

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court expressly ruled that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.
