The corruption by the White House is scandalous. Reject the grift, abuse of power, and greed.

Seeing some of those videos of ICE guys in full soldier of fortune getups with rifles and balaclavas being filmed by 40 year old women in Yoga pants telling them to go fuck themselves and get the fuck out of their city really shows once again that libmoms are America’s most fearless defenders

Rep. Dan Goldman calls out Pam Bondi for stonewalling the release of the Epstein files: Was this some sort of directive from Trump or an agent of his to the Attorney General to stop this?

America’s Grifter-in-Chief knows no bounds. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-grift-regime

It’s upsetting to see the dismantling of FEMA. Residents must speak up to keep this much needed agency. It’s our federal taxes that come back to us in disasters.

SCOTUS has rejected Trump’s autocratic whims time & again He’s counting on unconstitutional shock & awe to make his dictatorship real That’s why we’ll keep countering him with rule of law shock & awe. I discussed @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social

30% more for Chinese products on US consumers is still aweful.

United we can accomplish so much. I’m grateful for the Quaker community.

Trump is cutting thousands of workers from the VA Thousands of workers from the Social Security Administration Thousands of workers from our national health apparatus But he wants to ADD 20,000 DHS agents For what? To arrest and deport more cancer-stricken kids who are US citizens?

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years, and we want No Kings Day on June 14 to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda.

Biden should not have run for a 2nd term. Harris only had 100 days to campaign. In 2026 we need a fresh face on the ballot.

Root cause for Putin is to use that event to poison Ukrainians. He’s not a serious man. Trump is a weak puppet. Reject dictators.

Why wasn’t Congress told that this new dentention center was operational? Trump operates in the dark.

In one email to Veterans Affairs HQ, doctors in PA said a hiring freeze was causing “severe and immediate impacts” and that more than 1,000 veterans would lose access to treatment for cancer, kidney disease and traumatic brain injuries. By @ericumansky.bsky.social & @vernalcoleman.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump “actively looking at” suspending habeas corpus — which would allow government to arrest, exile, detain, and even kill ANY of us. With NO trial, NO lawyer, NO judge ever hearing from you. It would be the death of freedom in America.

Trump’s Tariffs are causing major harm to our local economy, our ports, and will raise prices on goods for the American people.

This is great news 🇺🇸

Reprehensible!

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

We must demand that our federal programs continue gathering data, research, stats so we operate more effectively and spend our hard earned taxes to met our needs.

Be persistent Support the law

ICE and thier boss Homeland Security want to intimidate mayors, governors, college presidents, parents, school boards, and judges so they stop speaking out. Please use your voice, flex your positions of power, govern, defend colleges, shield reporters and object to abuse of power by Republicans.

Orange County, CA

As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth. Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy — Trump’s tariffs!

A federal judge has temporarily halted the federal government's plans to transfer land in eastern Arizona for a massive copper mining project that has been years in the making.

The judiciary is moving along. Now we need Congress to grow a spine. The Republicans in Congress must follow the US Constitution, not a maga pose.

A federal court says Alabama can't use a congressional map it found unconstitutional. The ruling comes in a voting rights case that resulted in the state getting a second Black member of Congress.

Israeli reservists increasingly refuse duty, citing exhaustion from repeated tours supporting a war with no clear end.

Marshaun Futrell Jr. was just 11 years old. A football star. A son. A big brother. Now his name joins a heartbreaking list—20 kids shot in the St. Louis region this year alone. Gun violence is a public health emergency, and I won’t stop fighting until we treat it like one. Enough is enough.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

HIPAA privacy rights are foundational to the trust between doctors and patients. That's why we filed an amicus brief on behalf of physicians and local governments who are concerned about attempts to upend these privacy protections.

Why even have a 10% fee on cars? Harmful Trump Tarriffs

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

We could have so much if we just demand it. We can have good wages, awesome childcare, affordable universal healthcare, strong public schools, well paid teachers, doctors, etc. We can have voting rights, gun control legislation, and more. #dosomething

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

No thrones in the White House. All hands on deck. Protest. Insist on our rights and keep federal programs. Demand Congress have oversight on Cabinet members. No kings for this country.
