SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

A few days ago, President Trump issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR, the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

word choice is key here. DHS detained & almost deported many citizens during the 1st Trump admin, too -- just like Obama & others before them A GAO report estimated 70 "potential" citizens were removed 2015-2020. It's hardly as impossible as it's painted www.propublica.org/article/more...

The Cruelty Is The Point

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩 Ezra Klein also put a 12m TikTok video about this yesterday that is well worth the watch. THE EMERGENCY IS HERE. Please do not bury your head in the sand. Don't look away. YOU MUST ACT.

If you are applying for your first #passport, you need to know that they require you to send your original birth certificate to the Dept of State with the application, as well as a black and white copy of the document, for verification. They say they will then mail it back after they verify it.

U.S. airstrikes targeting an oil port held by Yemen’s Houthi rebels killed 74 people and wounded 171 others, the group said. It marks the single-deadliest known attack under President Donald Trump’s new campaign targeting the rebels.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Eugenicists are so stupid.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

It takes 3.5% of a population to overthrow a dictator. THIS Saturday, June 19th, find a protest event near you: www.fiftyfifty.one/events #fiftyfiftyone #fightfascism #nokings #historyhasitseyesonyou

This is INTOLERABLE CRUELTY.

The House has passed legislation that would make sweeping changes to voter registration, including requiring those signing up to present documents proving U.S. citizenship.

The State Department didn’t reveal the rationale for having these visas rescinded. (via @keranews.org)

BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

It takes 3.5% of a nation's population to topple a dictator. Yesterday's protests saw 5.2M people protest, or 1.5%. Our next mass protest is April 19th- just under 2 wks away. Keep the momentum going. Bring friends. LADY LIBERTY IS ADJUSTING HER CROWN. #FightFascism #Bythepeopleforthepeople

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

The prophecy is being fulfilled.

Their evil knows no bounds

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

3.1M protesters! 1% of the country! Don't let the media ignore this. Post EVERYWHERE. Make a ruckus! Other countries don't know we're protesting. WE don't know people in the US are protesting. So much is being suppressed! #MakeThemHearYou #GoodTrouble #FightFascism #NoKings #NoGenocide

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.

Here it is! Sorry, 2.3M, not 2.1. Don't hide your head in the sand. You have a responsibility just like anyone else. #HistoryHasItsEyesOnYou

I saw an estimate (I'm sorry I can't credit who it was- I can't remember) that about 2.1M people showed up to #protest across the country today. To get to 3% of the population, we need 10.2M. We can- we HAVE to do this. ALL our lives depend on it. #FightFascism #NoKings #EverythingICould

They're crashing the economy and burning the government to the ground intentionally. We are not going to spend ANY absolutely necessary money. Give them NOTHING. Buy local. Barter. Trade. Grow your own. Organize. Repair. Make due without. This is going to suck. We have to fight back.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

The termination of COVID-19 research is a “real slap in the face of the many patients struggling with the long-term health effects of COVID infections”, says Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. https://go.nature.com/4c2QfuJ

Trump has nominated a union buster to lead the NLRB. The message is clear.

"Sometimes your have to pick speed over safety." Then DT blamed Signal. Then Waltz said he's never met Goldberg. You have to be invited into the group chat to enter a group chat on Signal, and everyone gets notification that you've been added, and by whom. abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

This senior admin official glosses over that it was a potential crime for EVERYONE on the chat to share classified information on it. And Politico doesn't tell us whether the SAO was on the chat. Or whether the threads discussing this are ALSO on Signal. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
