I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

This will happen in every city, every town, every corner if ICE is continued to have full jurisdiction without any limits on their use of force

#MorningVibe Removing the chains of being safe & friendly can come with consequences. Freeing oneself from being overly safe & friendly might offer opportunities, but it also carries risks & challenges. Weigh the risks. Do it anyway.

This is true life and I won't look away. Actually where's the name of this truth tale?

The Russian backed wrecking ball running our country appears to be doing everything he can to make Russia and China great again.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Bc journalists have dropped all skepticism, EVEN ABOUT Elon's claimed departure, here's my non-exclusive list of DOGE debunkings. The entire thing was a fraud that seems to have achieved one main thing: consolidating govt data in a way ripe for totalitarianism. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

Let’s face it Trump is not long for this world so we should also be focusing investigations on all his children to make sure they can never benefit from his grifting and corruption. After all they are complicit and more importantly do not have immunity.

DOGE is an espionage unit. Elon Musk is conducting cyber espionage. The intelligence gathering of all of our government's records is called Target Exploitation. Who is he gathering intelligence for? Read more about social engineering through espionage. www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/cybers...

🚨 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.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 26 MAY 2025 Please take a moment to listen and share Here's Roberta, She knows "STICK TOGETHER, we have to stick together" "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much" (*Helen Keller) Thank all of you who are sticking together and fighting

U-Haul's slogan is “Moving Made Easier” but it’s turning into “Hate on the Move.” Hey @UHaul.com — you better figure out how to stop renting trucks to Patriot Front, or you’re going to be known as the official moving van of white supremacists.

This is the only noise I want to hear when the GOP starts spewing their lies.

Senate offices are closed right now. Their inboxes aren't. Send your letters demanding Senators not cut health care or food assistance. Let's send 1,000 in the next 2 hours: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

National missile defense is the longest-running scam in the history of the Department of Defense. Musk didn’t invent it, but he’s about to get a whole lot richer by perpetuating it. https://trib.al/XcrRiI8

Trump threatens new 'Dark Age' with policy of 'deliberate destruction': analysis www.rawstory.com/trump-pushes...

Don’t forget that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could put a stop to all of this.

If you want to torture yourself you can read the transcript of Biden’s speech from last years West Point commencement ceremony. Lots of applause and laughter, no trophy wives and yachts. He stuck around and shook the hands of all 1,036 graduates too. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

It is factually correct that Musk exercises unchecked power via DOGE. Time for accountability.

Billionaires are funding Andrew Cuomo because they know he’ll work for them, not you.

GET ON THE PHONES, STAY ON THE PHONES, LET THEM HEAR US EVERY DAMN DAY! VOTE NO ON THIS ATROCITY OR YOU'RE OUT OF A JOB!

I am seeing a lot of people posting about this anti-democracy provision of the GOP budget bill. Here is Democracy Docket’s coverage from last Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The House GOP snuck a provision into the budget bill that would strip away any consequences for officials who defy a judge’s ruling. It’s yet another attack on what @judgeluttig.bsky.social says is “the last obstacle to a president with designs on tyrannical rule.” Luttig joins @ 11aET #Velshi

I am pleased to have this article, “The End of Rule of Law in America” in The Atlantic this morning. Thank you, Jeffrey Goldberg, @theatlantic.com, @washingtonweekpbs.social, @adriennelaf.bsky.social, @beccarosen.bsky.social

ACTION ITEM: Contact your Senator and remind them of the Byrd Rule. Ask them to employ it in order to end several of the dangerous provisions in the MurderBudget Bill

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

Social Security and Medicare are the twin pillars of our nation’s retirement system. Social Security and Medicare need to be protected and expanded because current and future seniors depend on it!

Republicans put in their bill ways to help Trump defy the courts. Essentially complicit in breaking the law. if that doesn’t make it very clear that they’re not only unAmerican, but they are no longer working for the American people. vote every single one of them out of their jobs. accountability.

Throwback Thursday… At President Biden’s final State of the Union address, he backed the entire Republican Party into a corner, forcing them to deny that they were planning to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—just to hand billionaires a trillion-dollar tax cut. He knew!

MUST WATCH! The numbers don't lie, this bill doesn't just cut Medicaid, it adds $20 trillion in new debt. #HealthCareCutsKill

The Republican bill plans to implement the work requirements in 1 year. This is an impossible timeline. States don't the capacity to do this without kicking massive numbers of people off of Medicaid. [Great Upshot piece on the final bill] www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.

The people doing this to other human beings are flat-out evil. It's so sadistic. #GiftLink 🎁 wapo.st/3GWKK5k

You can avoid it as much as you want. But this is at the root.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...
