Time to start protesting SCOTUS too. “We the people” have totally lost our Constitutional rights.

April 7, 2025

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

JUST IN: The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, has been pushed out. In his resignation letter, he slams RFK Jr. for rejecting “truth and transparency” and pushing “misinformation and lies.” Marks warns of an “unprecedented assault on scientific truth.”

In a nutshell: — The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence. — The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information. Arrest them. Immediately.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Fair question.

I haven't ever really spoken about this to anyone, but when I was litigating the so-called "comfort women" case, I went to the National Archives to obtain and read the testimonies of women and girls who were held in sex slave camps by the Japanese military following their release. 1/

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy. Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This affidavit, filed by a former Social Security employee in one of the DOGE cases, reveals a shocking exposure of personal info to DOGE operatives & possible compromise of parts of the system. Everyone should read this. Start at para 9. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

BREAKING: Trump's comment during his address that DOGE "is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight" has already landed in federal court. DOC buff.ly/K7puA1o

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

A sitting US president posted this, yes it was Trump. He wants trans belly dancers and to frolic shirtless on a beach with Netanyahu. The whole thing is odd, even for MAGA

How can you tell that Trump and Musk don’t actually care about going after waste and fraud? They just fired someone at the Minnesota VA whose job was to find waste/inefficiencies to save taxpayer money. It’s all a façade to shell out more money for billionaires and big corporations.

THREAD: House GOP wants to ram through a budget package tomorrow, gutting Medicaid to cut taxes for billionaires. Seniors in hospice, disabled children, and workers without employee insurance all get screwed. These 15 RED districts will suffer the most:

I once viewed the media as an adversary-until I stepped forward to speak the truth. Hard convos matter. @joyannreid.bsky.social is one of those fearless voices. MSNBC’s decision to cancel her show is a loss but silencing a voice doesn’t erase its impact-it proves why it’s needed. Thank you Joy Reid.

I love every bit of this.

Hey Pete, you want to know what else we won WWII without? A Secretary of Defense.

Janet Mills was elected the first woman DA in ME history. Elected 1st woman AG in ME. Won election to state House, reelected 3x. Then 1st woman Gov - won by 20 points. Then reelected in 2022 by 13 points. In other words, far more popular in ME than Trump will ever be.

Elon Musk spent $300 million to get Trump elected—so he could *checks notes* fire middle-class Americans who make sure Veterans get healthcare. Because nothing says "populist revolution" like mass layoffs for the people actually serving those who served.

Easy Resistance task!! 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. it says Gulf of America 3. Click three little dots to the right of it 4. hit "Send Feedback" 5. hit "Gulf Of America" 6. hit "Inaccurate content". 7. hit "Incorrect", then tell them: ‘This body of water is the Gulf of Mexico’ 8. Repeat often

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk is trying to kill a department, USAID, that helps the poorest people on earth Because USAID has been investigating Musk and his Starlink company — and their ties to Vladimir Putin and Russia THAT is why Musk is attacking USAID

I suppose the task force created by this EO will start by investigating the Vice President’s statements attacking Catholic bishops, the leader of DOGE accusing Lutheran Family Services of money laundering, ICE raids on churches … so much work already on anti-Christian bias from this administration.

“I don’t work here for the fucking money,” said one longtime agency employee who works on air pollution. “I work here because I believe in it, and I want to serve the public.” What #EPA Employees Say About the Decision to Stay or Go Under Trump per @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

NEW: The removal of the DOJ’s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record. By @alecmac.bsky.social

Elon and Trump causing this! Staff who helps out most vulnerable are now at risk themselves!

I am not one to engage in conspiracy & have shut down talk from others of this election being stolen. However, watching the efficiency of this coup by a few literally taking over all computer systems in a matter of days has me wondering if we should not be asking more questions about the election.

THE ENTIRE CIA......
