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.

I am fine with presidents not supporting a prior one’s policies. But it’s time that we pass a law that says we can’t just cancel legal status’s conveyed by prior presidents. Like you should be able to not renew a TPS status or something but you shouldn’t be able to just cancel it. These are people🤬🤬

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

BREAKING: All seven of Elon Musk’s companies — X, xAI, Neuralink, Starlink, the Boring Company, Tesla and SpaceX —have netted a combined $20 billion in US government contracts and subsidies, according to the Financial Times. Does MAGA care to comment?

If DOGE wants to cut actual government waste, are they going to cut subsides to fossil fuels, Big Ag, and military contractors too? I’ll just wait…

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Are you wondering what your community is losing when all funding was illegally stopped from the IRA and Bipartisan Infrastructure Act? Here it is. In my home state of AZ a lot of it is going toward drought resilience. Call your representatives today! Don't know how check out 5calls.org.
