After reading the Republican tax bill, Rep. Jimmy Gomez is stunned: "I thought I wasn't reading this correctly. Anyone making less than $15,000/year sees an increase in their taxes by 74.3%." Republican trickle down economics is nothing but class warfare & massive wealth transfer to the top.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone. If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

WCK’s newest Gaza water desalination station is up & running at our Mawasi Field Kitchen. Here, we are able to distribute up to 45,000 liters of clean water daily. We're supporting families with lifesaving drinking water as we work to get food safely to our kitchens to resume cooking. #ChefsForGaza

BREAKING: Constituents are in body bags blocking their GOP Senators’ office doors in DC. Trump's spending will kill people by taking away our healthcare, our jobs, and food assistance — all so Elon Musk and Oil CEOs can get a big tax break.

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

ILLINOIS… Gov. Pritzker…

Let’s start with the basics.

They are just grabbing people indiscriminately? I thought they were only going to deport criminals. So they are lying to us. Again.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

"There was no access to a toilet, so guards told the women – whose accounts in some cases occurred on different days or different buses – to urinate or defecate on the floor... " www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

NEW: The specialist unit searching for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia has been AXED by Elon Musk. Just when you think he can’t stoop lower. 19,500 children have been stolen from Ukraine & sent to Russia. The unit at Yale had already rescued 100s - but its funding has now been halted.

youtu.be/TYnN9hqmGN4 Note to self - Get a transcript. 🗨🗨🗨🗨🗨 I heard 390 million citizens have a right to fill out a Freedom of Information Act Form to request that DOGE remit to them all information the DOGE has acquired about them, where it was used and sold. AND the amount of money received. 😁😁

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Stay focused

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 36 So many stories today, so little time. I try to only give you between seven and eight stories a day, in this series, but today we’re at nine. Just goes to show you the Democrats are doing the work. 🧵

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Last week, the Senate GOP passed a budget that included a $150B increase in military spending. This week, the House GOP will vote on its own budget — which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP to pay for more billionaire tax cuts. This isn't about what we can "afford."

The Gestapo have arrived. Republicans appear to have engaged the secret (not) police to remove dissenters from town hall meetings. No insignia Nobody willing to say who hired these clowns Yet here we are. Lear Asset Management 707-489-9663 · [email protected].

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Mass #surveillance in the US has historically targeted racial and ethnic minorities. Experts warn this pattern could intensify under a second Trump term, with a focus on people of color and immigrants. @curlyprofessor.bsky.social @raqueldelerme.bsky.social @usc.edu #deportation

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Today’s Black History lesson comes from DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion).
