The fact that we’ve just collectively decided to ignore this is insane

A video circulating on Reddit shows ICE officers wrestling a Hispanic construction worker to the ground while he repeatedly says that he is a US citizen. He was reportedly detained for hours until he was eventually released.

If this spending bill passes the Senate and is signed into law in its current form, all but the most financially fortunate transgender people will be forcibly detransitioned regardless of their ability - or inability - to produce their own sex hormones. This is a ten thousand-alarm fire.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

The Trump administration can say what they want but the video couldn’t be clearer: Plainclothes, warrantless ICE agents ambushed Mahmoud Khalil — and he did not resist or try to flee. This arrest was illegal and unjustified. He must be released. www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/u...

#OTD in 1965, the Head Start program was created in an effort to curb wide-spread poverty. 60 years later, as similar economic pressure persists, and child care is harder to find & afford, I will continue to advocate for those this program was created to serve.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

High school students at the Capitol: “Why is [Trump] so orange?” GOP Rep. Brian Jack: “Uh, that’s, you know what, it’s, it’s, it’s your perspective...”

It’s pretty fucked up that Trump knows he can lie and take bribes because he knows the press won’t use the words “lie” or “bribes.”

Escalate and intimidate. That is exactly the playbook. And it concerns me greatly: You know the Stephen Miller types in this administration are just itching for violence - searching, longing for something they can use as pretext for a drastic escalation so they can finally ditch all restraint.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

Everyone keeps saying that they can't say what they hope happens to the ICE agents who are doing this but I can - they're clearly engaged in gross violations of the law and I want every Democratic candidate from here to infinity to pledge to help prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law

Columbia should be protecting its students, not calling the country's largest police force on them. Students should not have to fear police violence for voicing their beliefs.

Conversion therapy is based on the hateful idea that being part of the LGBTQ+ community is an illness that requires treatment. It’s a dangerous sham practice that has been completely debunked and should be banned nationwide—I introduced a bill with @booker.senate.gov to do just that.

One of grants frozen at Cornell: $6.7M (4 yrs) to develop heart pumps for babies born w/ heart defects. It took decades of work to get to point of prepping device for in-human clinical trials. No private company could do this. The cruelty of the Trump administration is heartbreaking. So to speak.

You know, it really is so refreshing to see a Democratic lawmaker speak out this forcefully against transphobia in a public forum. The consultant class is telling Dems to be lowkey on anti-trans attacks, and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has no time for that nonsense. Thank god.

June 14 is No Kings Day. While Trump hosts his birthday parade in DC, we’ll be rising up everywhere else with nationwide protests to send him one message: NO KINGS! Find an event near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Last week, Trump confirmed plans to hold a military parade on his birthday. Rather than give Trump the self-congratulatory show he's seeking, thousands will gather across the nation for No Kings Day. @ezralevin.bsky.social & Jen Rubin discuss the power of collective action to save our democracy:

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

If you're a Democratic elected and don't have Stephen Miller or Pam Bondi or Ed Martin talking about throwing you in prison for your seditious libels of Dear Leader, you aren't going hard enough.
