The Trump tax plan only works by cutting public services. This incredible visualization combines the potential tax cuts (which mostly go to the rich) and loss of services (mostly borne by the poor). It is a giant wealth transfer from the poorest to the richest. budgetlab.yale.edu/news/250319/...

One extremely overlooked impact of Trump’s immigration racism is that immigrants, legal and undocumented alike, stop coming to court in response to summonses, even for things like evictions or moving violations. That leads to people being made homeless or warrants being issued for their arrests.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens. How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

The Trump regime is reportedly planning to gut a unit within the DOJ that prosecutes corruption by elected officials. This comes after Trump's DOJ dropped bribery charges against Eric Adams and suspended enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law. "Drain the swamp."

"DOGE’s claims are often either mathematically impossible, or, like the $50m 'condoms for Gaza' claim, simply false. This allows the administration to take a strategically ambiguous stance in hopes of shielding DOGE from judicial interference. But that strategy is failing." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

A mandatory reduction in force at the Department of Education is a trojan horse to dismantling it entirely. You can’t eliminate a federal agency created by Congress “half now/half later.”

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited. It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

If the government can disappear US Permanent Residents at will then it can disappear US Citizens at will, too. No one is safe if this happens without serious consequence or a rapid reversal.

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days. That is beyond unacceptable.

Many have noted that the amount of work required to come back from letting this man or anyone affiliated back into power is going to be just staggering. We're looking at decades of work, if they are not meaningfully stopped, very very soon. Maybe this'll get some people to really understand that.

Teachers, educators, and students. I’m begging you to get prepared for the elimination of the Department of Education and funding being used as blackmail for ideological collaboration. This needs to be a red line moment. Talk with your colleagues. Find solidarity. Please.
