If you can arrest one judge, can you arrest another judge? If you can arrest a judge, you should be able to arrest a president.

Just call me Wokey McWokeface.

Gotta hit this one later!

This is who you should be running, this is the kind of representation you need. The want you to “Stay poor, stay hidden and die silently” "I am a human being" #3E

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

NO PERSON.

To quote Heather Cox Richardson, “Here’s the thing: Once you give up the idea that we are all equal before the law and have the right to due process... You have admitted the principle that some people have more rights than others. (1)

On a non-political (although still feminist) note, I wore a pair of shorts with no pockets today. Shorts with no pockets are stupid. Where am I supposed to put my phone? Or my hands? Or the shopping list?

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

If you find yourself quoting Goebbels (or Goering, Himmler, or Hitler) you have failed as a US politician. www.thedailybeast.com/gop-rep-quot...

My wife and I had a mild disagreement this morning. I think the religious right will dissolve our marriage before the year is out. She thinks it will take longer. Thoughts?

I wonder how effective an unpaid labor strike would be. What would happen to the white, male, status quo if suddenly every cleaning or care responsibility didn’t get done until they paid someone to do it?

Just thinking about “states rights” and how the states that push the most for them are the states that want to do the least for the people in them.

NJ Leg testimony. The Hegseth ideology is that women and Black people are presumed inferior; that brown people with accents aren't American; and that transgender people have no right to exist.

This is great.

Silence one voice, another will speak the truth.

Truth.

BREAKING: Trump and Republicans say they’ll focus their efforts on defeating Native American candidate Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico. She has protected sacred lands and stood up to bullies. It’s obvious why they want her to lose.

Beware the Idea of March was floating through our psyche, a phrase Caesar should have heeded when disregarding the people. A million fraudulent acts can’t erase our history. We’ll rally to regain our rights he’ll wilt at our victory.

#FreeDonkAndBrittney The only thing they ever did was #Resist and #BuildCommunity.

I don’t know how many times I can say What The Fuck.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

'Bad idea': AOC warns Schumer and other Dems poised to make a 'tremendous mistake' PRESIDENTIAL!!! THIS is what Dems need, go fuck yourself Chuck ya' fuck! www.rawstory.com/alexandria-o...
