Join the Social Work Activist Collective on May 29 for Part 2 of "What Does It Take to Resist?" In this session, we'll explore issues of safety, including best practices during an event, and your rights as a protestor and a professional. REGISTER: tinyurl.com/SWACMay25

“A 12-year-old boy was left behind on a street after an immigration raid in Waltham, Massachusetts. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were seen on camera leaving the boy by himself on a sidewalk after arresting the person he was with.” www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

The GOP budget plan kicks 5.5 million off Medicaid—and 2.4 million will be left with no health insurance at all. This isn’t belt-tightening. It’s a death sentence dressed up as “fiscal responsibility.” #MomsForMedicaid

It's not surprising, but wow how embarrassing for the Catholic Right. Trying to bribe and blackmail progressive cardinals is some dirty tactics. Guess they got nowhere in trying to affect our new pope.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

@newyorkstateag.bsky.social NY State police "just following orders" when they removed Emily Feiner from a town hall. Please do not allow Staties to go unpunished. US Reps aren't even allowed to block people on Twitter. How can they remove constituents from town halls?

Pay attention. The fascists are carrying peaceful social workers out of town halls. Insane.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

"If you can purchase US citizenship for $5 million, the “illegals” are only guilty of being poor." -Feminist News

Just in:

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

It's going to be more important than ever to avoid police when people are in crisis. Here's a useful list that includes crisis hotlines and warm lines that do not contact police: translifeline.org/resources/co...

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

I'm pretty sure all of the men on SCOTUS are fascists.

When Barack Obama tells universities to use their endowments you *know* it’s possible.

When Pennsylvanians vote this year, they’ll be voting for their neighbors. Local elected positions have the most influence on your day-to-day life!

Ok, I'll say it. I was disappointed by the season finale of White Lotus.

At least they're not threatening to also take away your Social Security as your 401K gets tanked. Oh wait.

Russell 2000 hit its circuit breaker in the overnight hours, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Japan halted trading after hitting their breaker. Tomorrow is gonna be ugly.
