Andrew @weissmann.substack.com Weissmann is an example of courage in motion. He's fully aware that Donald Trump has already targeted him, but Weissman takes his ass into that studio...day after day...speaking the truth: the kind of truth that he knows Trump hates. #TruthToPower

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/saturdays-...

I've noticed over the last few days that the CPC has changed up their ads: no more Poilievre voice over. I'm willing to bet that they're realizing that even the sound of his voice is repellent. Make sure you vote, we need a high turnout to make sure he's gone for good. #cdnpoli #elxn2025 #ElbowsUp

Never forget Trump pardoned 1,500 convicted Jan 6 insurrectionists, many sentenced to long prison terms. They attacked police officers. People died. Trump is NOT the law and order president. He’s a criminal too #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/watch?v=B6ry...

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Because Republican poll numbers are getting crushed right now, they’re forcing my district to go 8 MONTHS without a Congressperson. IT’S TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!

Scary, scary SCOTUS The same Supreme Court that made Donald Trump above the law is now saying that he can abduct and traffic anyone he doesn’t like to an El Salvadoran gulag. Yeah, it’s pretty fucked up. 1/

Oh good, at least we can count on them getting to file habeas petitions while in a motherfucking El Salvadoran gulag. 🤦🏼‍♀️

John Roberts’ name should be forever synonymous with the shame of enabling authoritarianism. Trump wants to be a tyrant because he’s a hateful, egotistical moron. But it’s John Roberts who’s helping him do it.

For the #HandsOff , there were a group of seniors that couldn't make it to the Capitol. So they held their very own! 57 of them came out! Aged 67-104! They all walked down to the main street! So proud of them! They had s sign making day before the event! They sent this video to me to share.🥰

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

Did you know? 18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to — with gross negligence — disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

This despicable man considers his child dead rather than accepting them for who they are. Her name is Vivian Jenna Wilson and she's a proud transgender woman. Just like me.

These could be Tren de Aragua or MS 13 tattoos. He should be deported. Hey, that's how ICE decides who to deport. They don't check facts first.

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.
