“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

The dead ass truth.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

It's amazing what we are up against every single day fighting fascism. MSM, nefarious foreign governments, billionaires and Republicans are all complicit. Big hugs to all warriors in this neverending fight for democracy. When we fight, we win. 🥰

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

It just came to me that ICE agents are dressed exactly like the death squads in certain South American Countries that people left everything behind to get away from... FFS 🤬🤬

Trumpworld are digging themselves into the deepest dark hole. All who think he is doing good work for the USA, are delusional. I dread to even think of the kind of hell they are descending into. And many of his people claim to be Christian! 😳

Wired - CBP has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future. https://www.wired.com/story/cbp-dna-migrant-children-fbi-codis/

There is so much... but this snapshot especially sobering as that (fired) advisory committee was such a terrific group of experts--as are the state dept. historians.

Traitorous Trump just nominated his own defense lawyer, Emil Bove, who defended him in a trial where he was convicted on 34 felonies, to a lifetime federal judgeship. He's building a legal fortress by stacking the courts with loyalists to rewrite rules and dodge accountability. He must be stopped.

Harvard and international students are driving innovation and economic growth in the US. They are smart, principled, and believe in American values, unlike Disturbed Donald and his MAGA maniacs. They're trying to turn the United States into a paranoid authoritarian state resembling the Soviet Union.

The cancellation of funds for Moderna to develop the bird flu vaccine is a heinous mistake. This will inevitably result in the further spread of disease, loss of life, and economic consequences. Yet another shortsighted, foolish move, puppeted by RFK Jr. to fuel his anti-vax agenda. Despicable.

If folks are confusing ICE with right-wing militias like the Proud Boys or Three Percenters… do you see the problem? This is not normal or okay. Call your Senators & Reps —Demand hearings, sanctioned or not. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

States have enacted dozens of laws that make it harder for citizens to vote. New research by @brennancenter.org shows that these restrictions do in fact directly suppress the vote.

Clarification: There were two cases that blocked them in the last 24 hours. One of those was just blocked, & the other remains in effect, essentially blocking nearly all tariffs still... Could change in 5 minutes, could change in 24 hours. Who knows at this point? www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Administration seems to have capitulated in case of deportee mistakenly sent to Mexico. The judge was apoplectic. Administration had no room to move, but could have outright disobeyed. It now says sending a plane to bring him back to get to due process. I’m posting a YouTube in a few minutes.

Trump isn’t just “wrong” — he LIED. Just say it — TRUMP LIED. Come on, is it really that hard to say?

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Criminalizing healthcare providers does NOTHING to protect children. It endangers pregnant people - ESPECIALLY Black pregnant people. Politicians should have no place in health care decisions. @replsimon.bsky.social gives us a powerfully personal #CupOfJoe.

New COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1 is spreading, fueling surges across the globe. RFK Jr, who admits before Congress that he's unqualified to head HHS,cancels vaccinations, in direct opposition to medical advice. Believe truth & science. Not him. Get vaccinated.Share this. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judge. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So naturally, you know what to do…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

So, Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” freezes Section 8 housing? Great plan—if your goal is to evict grandmas, vets, and kids. Cutting aid while handing tax breaks to billionaires isn’t bold, it’s barbaric. @GOP @RNC @SenateGOP — pick a spine or pick your replacement.
