Have you seen the amazing video of the elephants circling up around their young at the San Diego zoo during the earthquake earlier this week? THAT NEEDS TO BE US RIGHT NOW with our Constitution, due process, rule of law, & human rights. Not on my watch - not on yours. Call your reps ☎️202-224-3121

Grifters gonna grift.

There aren’t enough swear words.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Yup.

FUCKING THIS.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

Love Steve Kerr!

Spread this far and wide.

Let’s keep saying it: IMPEACH… CONVICT… REMOVE.

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487 There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

Bad.

If you're being kidnapped, you have a right to defend yourself. If someone approaches you and tries to throw you in a van and they present no ID and no warrant, you're being abducted. In many states, you can respond with lethal force. Understand the law.

During pregnancy and post-partum, black women often receive lower quality care, face discrimination, and are three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause. It’s an issue that must be addressed and must be taken seriously.

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye (photo by me)

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

1. The Trump administration claims that a program to protect rural Alabamans from raw sewage is racist so it is canceling the program as part of its crackdown on "DEI" According to a press release, this is about treating "every individual with dignity and respect." 🤔

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

This.

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

It’s time to ban congressional stock trading. Repost if you agree.

Get. In. Their. Face. About. This.

By the way, Mike Waltz and Pete Hegseth still have jobs after freely chatting about top secret war plans an a commercial texting app while they were clueless that a reporter was listening in. Don't let the story die.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

BREAKING: The House just adopted a budget resolution that sets the stage for deep cuts to Medicaid. People with disabilities, seniors in nursing homes, and children in schools will suffer the brunt of these misguided cuts.

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans rely on Medicaid & more than 42M rely on food assistance. The GOP budget cuts both by over $1T in total. We cannot leave millions of Americans hungry & without health care to fund tax cuts for our nation's wealthiest.

Good grief!!

Constitutionally, impeachment is easier than overriding a veto. Just pointing that out.

Today's Number of the Day is 20. RFK Jr. said 20% of the staff fired at HHS were cut by mistake.

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Please let bubble gum be the way out of this mess

These people have no teeth when it comes to people in the public eye. That’s how you can tell they are just straight up bullies and nothing more.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Don't know who needs to hear this, but the facility in El Salvador is a concentration camp, not prison. For it to be a prison the people in it would have to have been convicted of a crime.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

More of this… not just more. ALL of this. Block them. Every chance. Block them.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.
