If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Rep Tom Barrett (MI-7) allegedly held a telephone town hall today but didn't send out info on joining to many people who registered. Way to act like you're listening to constituents by offering the most cowardly, lowest effort, least accessible option and then further cutting people out.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

It really is that simple. If Biden had announced he appointed Selena Gomez to shut down ICE, nobody would doubt that's illegal and unconstitutional. Appointing Musk to shut down USAID is no different.

Tillis (NC) thinks RFK will get Rx prices down by going after the supply chain rather than the drug companies. We know it costs pharma companies peanuts to produce the drugs they mark up by hundreds or thousands. So how's that gonna work ? #rfkhearing

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

If you can't see that attacks on POC, women, queer ppl, disabled are all a Trojan horse to roll back the civil rights movement and undermine workers, to siphon more money to the rich, and to install a white supremacist Christian nationalism you're sorely misguided. The culture war is the class war.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Quick questions--would you say you are happy or content in at least some aspect? And what makes you happy/gives you the warm fuzzies/makes a good day a good day. It's hard to stay positive. I want to know what helps you get through it.

Big meeting today and our VP said "I know this year has been difficult, and we're only 16 days in." 😳 How do I feel like I've aged ten years in two damn weeks.

Veteran journalist @sulliview.bsky.social warns of the "one of a kind" threat Trump's return poses on a free press, and why she's worried we could see many in the media self-censoring. "Don’t throw up your hands. We have to stay engaged as citizens."

No, @nytimes.com - Trump LIED that the New Orleans suspect was an immigrant. HE LIED. The suspect is a US citizen & veteran. Are you capable of accurate reporting or are you so beholden to both sides'ism clickbait nonsense that even now you can't recognize a lie for what it is?

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry? Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
