That’s exactly what this is about. Distraction. For all of this and that lame duck, low energy spectacle

Every time I hear someone say, "Since the pandemic," I heave a sigh. Some days I hyperventilate.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BUST Chaos for Trump and GOP—The House Budget Committee blocks the GOP tax and spending bill from advancing in a 16–21 vote. Republicans Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman, and Smucker voted NO. An embarrassing setback for Johnson and Trump from their own party.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Please support if you can

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

The Trump administration laid off nearly half of the Department of Education division that handles civil rights investigations and halted work on thousands of pending discrimination cases. If you were affected, we want to hear from you. Get in touch:

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Men at Bluebonnet Detention Facility (immigration prison) in Anson, TX form an S.O.S. with their bodies to signal to a drone overhead. This is the facility from which the Trump Administration appeared ready to fly another planeful of men to El Salvador last weekend www.reuters.com/pictures/sos...

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

There we go. Support this man.

Absolutely

We are living through the consequences of having an uninformed and ill-informed citizenry. Our founding fathers warned us about this danger.

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

What Trump Can’t Do: #1. He can’t take away our anger. #5. He can’t make us hate a free and democratic America. #8. He can’t stop us from realizing our collective power. #9. He cannot last. www.americaamerica.news/p/what-trump...

"Edmunds found that March 2025 represents the 'highest ever share' on record of Tesla trade-ins... "Teslas accounted for 1.4% of the cars traded in through March 15, up nearly 300% from the same month last year, when just 0.4% of trade-ins were Teslas..." www.huffpost.com/entry/tesla-...

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get. This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively. I will repeat the facts once more: Russia is a terrorist state. Putin is a war criminal

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.
