Disabled people aren’t “burdens”. We aren’t “economically inactive”. We aren’t “useless eaters”. We’re people, the same as you. We deserve to be treated with the same dignity & care as everyone else. When you use terms like those above, you’re spewing eugenics talking points which fuel fascism.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office/Middle District of Tennessee RESIGNED the same day the Acting US Attorney signed the indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He writes: “do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons.” There are no coincidences.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

I feel like this is precisely why they didn't want to bring him back. Pam Bondi & company knew that the second he was back on American soil, they were going to be dealing with a massive clusterfuck that they for the life of them couldn't emerge unscathed from.

Seven wks ago the PA governor's mansion was firebombed in an antisemitic attack. Less than two wks ago two people were murdered in DC in an antisemitic attack. Last night eight people were injured, at least one critically, in Boulder in an antisemitic attack. Murdering Jews won't free Palestine.

Mohamad Soliman threw Molotov cocktails at a group of Jews in an attempt to burn them alive—simply for being Jewish. The firebombing of Jews in Boulder, Colorado is the latest act of antisemitic terrorism. I stand unequivocally with the Jewish community in the fight against antisemitism.

The hostages should be returned by Hamas, Hamas is evil, and there is no justification for this heinous attack on Jewish citizens in Boulder.

1/2 Jewish people were set on fire in Boulder at a peaceful vigil for Israeli hostages. That’s not “activism.” That’s terrorism. Antisemitism is not hypothetical—it’s happening right now in the open. If you're still silent, you're complicit. #JewSky coloradosun.com/2025/06/01/b...

as someone who has worked on the hill, this is correct. but the secret to making your phone calls impactful to republicans is to sound like a boomer and say “I’m a centrist who voted for you in the past but I’m really worried about this bill because it will increase the deficit and cut Medicaid”
