Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

During WWI, Marie Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, a generator, an X-ray machine and photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie also helped train 150 women as radiology technicians.

The Republican Party has “deemphasized high-minded ideals like democracy and morality.” My God. Democracy isn’t some kind of high-minded ideal. It’s the underpinning of our government. And morality….is a human attribute. Not some kind of ethereal goal.

Every time someone says "This isn't America" I get pissed because all of this has happened before, it just didn't happen to white people. And before someone brings up the Irish, they weren't considered white at the time. They bought their way into whiteness via jobs that enforced oppression.

In a democracy, shitty people get to vote too, and you have to outvote them every. single. time. That's just how it works. There is no "win condition" after which you have permanently defeated bad politics people and you can just ignore politics for the rest of your lives.

Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away." Other reporters say they have been targeted too. My story below:

Filed a FOIA request with DOJ for 1 time-sensitive document. Was granted expedited processing. A month went by. Crickets. Asked for estimated date of completion. Was told it would take 620 days. This isn't the FOIA offices fault. It's another part of DOJ that is sitting on the doc. Unreal.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

Today in 1215 King John reluctantly affixed his seal to Magna Carta, a document which placed restrictions on his royal power. It has come to represent the centuries long battle to restrain capricious, insane, despotic leaders. That's a work in progress

Correct. This was an easy test for media outlets and many of them failed horribly. No need to give them yet another chance.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

This is Austin, where protesters are being kettled and gassed. Guess who the Austin city manager is: T.C. Broadnax. In Dallas, during the 2020 George Floyd protests, protesters were kettled, gassed and shot with rubber bullets. Guess who the Dallas city manager was: T.C. Broadnax.
