This what resistance looks like: “I will do everything in my power to protect anyone in Seattle from anyone who comes to this city with the intention to hurt them or inhibit their First Amendment rights” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

We cannot look away from what is happening in California. It is clear the President is attempting to manufacture and escalate a peaceful protest situation to chaos utilizing military force against protestors exercising their First Amendment right. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

Last week, we wrote about how we learned ICE detainees were being held at Glendale City Jail b/c of the city's contract with DHS. Immigration attorneys pressed for change - Now they have it. Glendale will no longer house ICE detainees w/ @racheluranga.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...

"A functioning democracy must ensure that we the people can hold our government accountable without fear of violence from the government. The League of Women Voters condemns these actions...We will not be intimidated into silence." 🗽 www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

Shakira’s production crew should have used the brown M&M test! So sad her DC show was cancelled. 😢 www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture...

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...

Save the date for this awesome event endorsed by great partners!

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol. Not one Republican has offered a reason why. If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

Some straight tariff talk: "Trump has raised the average U.S. tariff rate from 2.5 percent to 18 percent." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is what resistance looks like.

NOW: A group of faith leaders have linked arms & are blocking the entrance to the ICE detention facility at Delaney Hall, NJ. “We want to know who is in the building behind us. Americans believe in due process. This is not the country anyone asked for.” 👏 (🎥 Alexis McAdams, FOX)

BREAKING: Trump is pulling the Ed Martin nomination! WELL DONE! Pushback WORKS!

NEW RESOURCE: With the widespread ICE activity at DC restaurants this week, we’ve been getting a lot of questions about I-9 audits or inspections. So, MSMA and @nilc.org created a I-9 audit or inspection frequently asked questions resource. 🧵

Nearly 100 Former federal prosecutors: Ed Martin is unfit & unqualified to be US Attorney for DC: www.cbsnews.com/news/former-...

We the people must fight back. That is why the League of Women Voters is launching a powerful new initiative, Unite and Rise 8.5 www.lwv.org/uniteandrise...

Today — May 1 — is DC Statehood Day, a day of action for our cause to make DC the 51st state. We, the 700,000 residents of the District of Columbia, deserve voting representation in Congress, the right to set our budget, and the right to govern ourselves. Just like Americans in every single state.

Making the rich richer and the rest of us poorer

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

Santos going to prison and ordered to pay > $370,000 in restitution to victims and forfeit > $200,000. Prosecutors said that Santos was being held accountable for a years-long trail of deceit and theft that victimized ' “real people, and they suffered real losses.” wapo.st/4jqy7O2

Washington Gas Exposed is a three-part series where you can learn the truth about the methane gas heating your home, and what you can do to make a cleaner, safer Washington D.C. 🌞 act.chesapeakeclimate.org/page/82085/d...

Trump wants to send U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Read that again. This isn’t about safety. It’s about power, control, and fear. It’s unconstitutional and inhumane. And if we don’t call it out now, it could become real. This is how it starts. Stay alert.

Wait what? “We continue to urge Thai authorities to respect freedom of expression and to ensure that laws are not used to stifle permitted expression.” - US State Department Americans would like that here too! wapo.st/4jjoGzy

This amounts to the most significant data leak in cyber history. Private individuals in the data business now have access to your Social Security information. This violates privacy laws in every state. Hopefully, state AGs will file suit & pursue criminal charges. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

In the entire history of LWV, the SAVE Act may be the most brazen, sweeping attack on American women's voting rights we have ever seen.  I explain why, in @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/what-i...
