Last week the Senate decided to move forward on the biggest liquidation of public lands in history. Parts of 11 Western states could be put up for sale, all for trophy houses for the ultra-rich. Donate if you can. Lawsuits cost$$! act.biologicaldiversity.org/lwnmsVyQ1U64...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.

So @schiff.senate.gov , why don’t y’all address this?

All they both are, Trump and Musk, are grifters.

Rep. David Kustoff voted to cut Veterans benefits. Those who fought for this country. Now he is having a private town hall. Why not answer to your constituents? #KustoffBrushoff We see you, Congressman.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Did any govt leadership from either party show up to the air base when the deceased soldiers arrived home from Lithuania?

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

🚨🚨🚨 ALERT: we are hearing from sources that there is a very serious danger that Senate Democrats are on the verge of folding on the MAGA CR. CALL THIS MORNING indivisible.org/resource/cal...

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...

Disgusting

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Democratic Senators, you can’t speak out against these horrible nominees and the criminal administration on television while voting for them behind closed doors!!!!!

Sen. Van Hollen is correct. Demand #DemocracyNotDictaorship Call your senators & stop this illegal coup. #Demvoice1 #DemsUnited

@kaine.senate.gov WHY are you voting YES!!! Fight for us !!

Democrats in our govt need to say what they are actually doing, and tell those who aren’t doing anything to step aside. Chuck Schumer saying to just wait, and the FOTUS Will trip up is NOT action. Crafted statements of disappointment @booker.senate.gov is NOT action.

Apparently...

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk: Blunt Rochester Booker Cantwell Coons Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Hickenlooper Kaine Kelly King (Independent) Peters Shaheen Slotkin Warner

We need to go beyond calling on Dems to reject RFK and others (though I think Whitehouse may be on board--not sure abt Fetterman). We need to get better at assigning responsibility to Republicans when they confirm and the inevitable happens. *You will be responsible for the dead children.*

Trump et al will do something outrageous, outlandish, hideous and illegal every day. Be prepared. Don’t react to everything. Temper your outrage. Stay aware but somewhat removed. They want us outraged, speechless, helpless and angry. Don’t fall for it. Pick your battles.

Trump’s team told the staff at HHS, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health, (NHI) to *stop* issuing health advisories, scientific reports, and updates to their websites and social media posts.

Clergywomen have fought too hard to proclaim the Gospel— so no, we don’t apologize for proclaiming it just because someone doesn’t like it.

WOW! You've got to watch all of this. A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.

In that familiar old incompetence I haven't missed, Trump's executive order defines sex as what a person is at CONCEPTION. Fetal sex doesn't begin to differentiate until about 7 weeks into gestation. Which means Donald used the highest office in the land to declare all Americans legally female.

The idea that a president can issue an executive order that overrides Congress, while it may be appealing to everyone who wants TikTok back and agrees that the TikTok ban is a first amendment violation, is actually illegal dictator shit

@mrjoncryer.bsky.social I just want to say you are a great actor and even better human being, but my son is having me draw way too much 2 1/2 men pictures (he’s autistic) and I am so sick of it. He has replaced all of you with other people. LOL.This is the character he picks tho, of all your work?
