If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill could increase the country’s medical debt by $50 billion. Some families’ medical debt could increase by over $20,000 due to the lack of coverage. And it’s all to finance tax cuts that overwhelmingly help the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.

Always.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a regressive nightmare, raising incomes for the top 10 percent of earners and slashing them for the poorest people in the country.  It's also opposed by a majority of Americans.  Remember this as Trump constantly tries to shift the public's focus.

The arrest of @nyccomptroller.bsky.social and continued attacks on New Yorkers by ICE are unacceptable and an abuse of power. Comptroller Lander should be released and ICE should stop undermining public safety in our city by targeting New Yorkers going about their lives.

Literally every negative, dangerous, or damaging thing we're experiencing as a nation right now can be traced directly back to Trump and his Administration. It's all so wasteful and unnecessary.

It never ceases to amaze me the way people can lament the death of innocent people in one location and justify or even celebrate it in another.

Jessica Tarlov: Trump has ceded control of immigration to Stephen Miller. It's not a good look. The images of masked ICE agents pulling on NYC Mayor candidate Brad Lander are going to be resonant with folks.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

Would you look at that.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.

To all my NC neighbors who voted for Trump: Way to go—you sure owned the Libs! www.wyff4.com/article/fema...

'‪UHC managers pressured nurses to have patients change their code status to *Do Not Resuscitate* even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.' Healthcare should never be a for-profit business model www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The ignorant, fragile man-child who couldn't admit he lost an election also can't admit he doesn't know how tariffs work. This is why we're screwed.

Aaaand there it is.

OMGG @joyannreid.bsky.social HOW did I miss this? ☠️🤣☠️🤣☠️🤣

AOC: "We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Hell to the Hell Yes!!🙌 🩵

That could be today’s understatement.

HALLELUYAH! Finally, someone has the courage to take on the grifter, antivaxxer, and lunatic RFK Jr. Thank you Senator Alsobrooks.

Children get only two dolls and five pencils. Trump gets a free luxury jet.

“If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer ... Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves.” “Right now ... we can’t lose the battles we are facing.” - Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Abolish ICE. I am having nightmares about these incidents and waking up absolutely frozen in fear... and I'm not the one living them. This is terror, this is fascism. We must end this nightmare.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

First issue with this statement is that the founders had no intention or plan of making it illegal to be in this country without proper documentation from the government giving permission to be here. Being here illegally didn't exist then and likely hadn't even been considered. But the rest of

Measles cases pass 1000 is spreading to 11 states.RFK Jr response? “Take more vitamin A” and ignore the problem. This is only the beginning of Kennedy’s ineptitude at HHS. He decimated CDC and closed 100’s of research projects including childhood cancer research. We may not survive RFK Jr #ProudBlue

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

Trump says Republicans should "probably not" increase taxes on the rich in their forthcoming tax bill. Meanwhile, his tariffs will hit poor and working-class Americans the hardest. "Party of the working class."

I just wrote about Justice Sotomayor's forceful call to action for lawyers. Hoping Democracy Docket can get it out to members tomorrow. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

Kidnapping people off the streets with no warrant, and just a vest marked “POLICE ICE” with no names, badge numbers or other identifiers, and putting them into unmarked cars is UN-AMERICAN. This is Gestapo tactics. This needs to be stopped!!

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Bribery in plain sight.
