Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Excellent question.

NEW: Mississippi will ask the Supreme Court to rule on a GOP bid to ban states from accepting ballots that arrive after Election Day, which could potentially codify part of Trump’s anti-voting order and disenfranchise many voters. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social

Sharing this again in case any of y’all are able to help support Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s family while he’s held hostage by two corrupt regimes

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

INDIANA VOTER: “Will you demand the resignation of Pete Hegseth?” *Crowd cheers wildly* Rep. Spartz (R) : “No.” *Crowd boos wildly for a full minute*

I hate to break this news to Schumer, but if Repub Senators won’t strongly condemn & investigate such a blatant breach of national security at the highest levels during the first military action taken by the Trump Admin, they aren’t going to rebel when they defy court orders.

If this happened under Obama or Biden, the GOP would have already started impeachment hearings and there’d be nothing else on Fox News nypost.com/2025/03/24/u...

📢📢📢 Time to call our elected officials and ask them to demand resignations of everyone on the #SignalNatSecLeak text thread. @tokuda.house.gov @schatz.bsky.social @hirono.senate.gov Rep. Tokuda (202) 225-4906 Rep. Case (202) 225-2726 Sen. Hirono (202) 224-6361 Sen. Schatz (202) 224-3934

"If the administration is claiming inherent constitutional authority to ignore court orders whenever it doesn’t want to follow them, not much to the rule of law remains." Harrowing stuff from legal scholar Matt Seligman on Trump border czar vowing to ignore courts: newrepublic.com/article/1928...

In addition to the nutso stuff on Obama, worth flagging that it was just *yesterday* that WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt said "I have not heard the president talk about impeaching judges. I know you mentioned Mr. Musk’s tweet, but I have not heard the president of the United States ask that."

Who wants some good news? The overwintering monarch population, which had plummeted last winter, has doubled this winter! www.worldwildlife.org/stories/east...

Reports of over 200 killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza tonight, including children, as Trump’s press Secretary says he was consulted about it.

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

Not great! 🇺🇸

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

👇🏽

This is a vile display of corruption and crime as well as the most disgustingly egregious use of the White House. Fuck you to whoever chose this filth.

To everyone nodding in agreement but refusing to take a stand, I say this: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

You don't have to support or even like the campus protests to recognize how dangerous deporting a legal resident is. This is literally the point of the 1st Amendment. This is their test to see how much they can get away with. Next it will be immigration advocates and on. Don't make excuses.

For Women's History Month, may we all remember and summon the courage of Rachel Carson, who wrote Silent Spring to inform the world what DDT was doing to the songbirds, raptors,and by extension, us. While battling cancer, she stood her ground against savage attacks by the chemical industry...

trump’s burning America down—why are DEMs still polite? This article rips decorum to shreds and demands defiance. Read my latest FREE Substack, and join the rebellion. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/screw-civi...

Knowing your rights, exercising your rights, and informing others about their rights is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right. These “know your rights” videos have crucial, easy-to-understand information on how to defend against the most common ICE tactics and unconstitutional actions. ⤵️

This is precisely what the Democrats should do at Shitler’s address to the joint session of Congress. 👇🏻👇🏻

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be these cunts.

The past month has been largely comprised of mass pardoning of criminals, mass firings of career civil servants, higher prices, elimination of rights, elimination of consumer protections, trade wars, lawsuits, grift, alignment with autocracies, threats against allies, plane crashes, and measles.

And let me say before any Republican law maker is asked about what just happened in the White house...fuck you You're responsible for this.

Trump's 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 to our ally in the Oval Office is a DAMN SHAME.  Denigrating a democratic world leader while sitting next to him has not only jeopardized our work with global allies. Once again, Trump's ego just put our national security at risk.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason What you saw was treason Trump selling out you and America to Russia in the Oval Office was TREASON!

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.
