So much for MAHA.

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Trump family is full of shit💩💩💩

I joined Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss former President Barack Obama’s warnings of the U.S. being “dangerously close” to autocracy and the recent arrests of Democratic officials. I hope you watch and enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8e8...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Observe who is the initial aggressor. As protesters and police in Portland got physically involved, tensions increased.

Only Congress has the power to declare war but Trump went behind their backs when he bombed Iran leader Soleimani. A bipartisan bill would limit the use of the military in Iran without Congress’ approval and may be voted on in a few days. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-w...

Today @congressmanraja.bsky.social and I were denied entry to the ICE facility in Chicago, a direct obstruction of our constitutional duty to conduct oversight. We will not back down until demanding accountability and transparency.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Bought a large bottle of salsa at the grocery today. Over $8. Used to be $2.50

Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.

'Virus 'which is almost always fatal' reaches Spain' says Birmingham Live, brought to me by Apple News. Except it relates to a Spanish resident who was bitten by a rabid dog in Ethiopia two years ago. There have been 0 cases of rabies in Spain. This type of headline is highly irresponsible.

Way to go #felondonny you aren’t bringing companies back to the US you’re pushing them to leave with your stupid tariffs! 🤦🏼‍♀️ #DemVoice1 youtube.com/watch?v=NpWc...

In Mexico, femicide perpetrators take 10 lives a day. In the US, femicide perpetrators take 3 lives a day. They should be taking zero.

“No one — not anybody — thought we would win,” said Rena Margulis, one of three progressive winners in last week’s election for the Camden County Democratic Committee.

A drug with the potential to “end the HIV pandemic,” that was just approved by the FDA, will launch in the US this week, as a new study reveals it could be sold for 1,000 times less than its possible price tag. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

NEW: Judge finds Florida attorney general in contempt for defying court order in major immigration case www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

And man being detained by them is a veteran, attempting to go to an appointment that he had.

Damn if this brilliant piece by @amandalehr.bsky.social didn’t make me tear up by the end.

Just one more first on a list that is already too long

A "No Kings" and Pride parade mashup? It's the pair you didn't know you needed

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

So devastating 💔

“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.

This photo. ICE is a gang.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

See this for what it is. An authoritarian regime and its secret police are targeting political enemies and marginalized people they have vilified and dehumanized. We're in it, folks. Deep, deep in it. Fascism. Stop dancing around it. Stop playing games. Give up all remaining denial. We're in it.

It's not even 2pm. NYC Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Landers arrested by federal thugs at an immigration court. Trump posting on Truth Social: "We now have complete and total control over the skies Iran." So, my question is: When is the next nationwide strike/protest?

“Every dictator who has ever cracked down on political opposition has done so by rendering them internal foreigners in rhetoric and deed, invaders of the body politic who can justly be crushed like insects,” @adamserwer.bsky.social writes:

Serious question for lawyers - what are you supposed to do if people without warrants, badges, ID, and covering their faces attempt to detain you?

A chilling tale of detention, interrogation, and exile for the ‘crime’ of writing a blog… hartmannreport.com/p/border-age...

They've arrested or tackled and handcuffed: * Judge * US Senator * Congresswoman * Mayor * City Comptroller/Mayoral Candidate

This is a real headline. Are we even a country anymore? It feels like we're descending into a pit of nihilism and cruelty. While after this last weekend I have much more hope that there will be pushback against this—and significant pushback—the threat to our way of life is profound and terrifying.

The president’s son is still claiming the shooter is a “leftist” despite all the evidence to the contrary

The email option is free:

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

LEFT: The fake picture of the Department of Defense just posted. RIGHT: The reality. So now the military is not just arresting us on street corners illegally but spreading disinformation. And it's only Monday.
