A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Stephen Miller is a liar and a propagandist and while there is clear value in understanding what he's saying as a means of understanding what the administration is doing, not a single fact out of his mouth can be trusted.

There are a lot of bright shiny things to chase every day with Donald Trump. The principle of a free press has to remain among our North Stars. Attacks on the press are an attack on democracy itself. Yesterday a judge stood up to Trump & ordered him to stop. joycevance.substack.com/p/trump-vers...

I'm more than a little offended (...polite. Be polite.... Elon may be watching...) by the fact that soc sec has all my current contact info but the only official info from them is sent with 7 days warning to X. Am I required to monitor X postings now?

Another great day for America! The US Sec of State holding innocent (and desperate) people hostage to make a political power statement. What little humanity that was left in this empty soulless festering little vessel has completely disappeared. His descent into hell is almost complete. #Protests

IMO Not incompetence... Deliberate terrorize tactics and gives them a chance to eval just how upset we would be over this betrayal. CK VOUGHT, project 2025 main writer and just watch xenophobe Miller talking...

I think you might be right... But someone needs to let Russia know that they need to add a little depth to their talking points. As it stands their mouthpieces cannot seem to fill in the blanks enough to make it believable.

All of this is bs. There is no socsec "hotline". People only call if they need help. Thanks to doge, they have to call to get an appt... Oh wait. They fixed it so you can't do that right? No phone. No appt. No explanation. And using lutnicks example is just simply a "cruel & unusual" lie.

BREAKING: There are actions across the country today calling for the immediate release of illegally abducted and detained union members Rumeysa Ozturk and Lewelyn Dixon! ICE is acting like the gestapo and we can't turn a blind eye. Repost if you demand their release! #4The1st

I think the remarkable thing about Cory Booker's speech is that much of it is a good speech. He's not just filling time, he's using time while the spotlights on him.

It is time for us to unite, no matter our party affiliation. We, the people, are in crisis. We are not enemies of one another. Our common enemy is fascism. Conquering fascism allows us to disagree in peace. #MomSky #FightFascism

Thurmond and Cruz spoke hate and used fillers; every single time I tuned in Booker spoke sense about caring about fellow human beings.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

If DOGE were serious about rooting out unqualified workers, they’d focus on their own cabinet nominees - maybe like a Sec. of Defense leaking classified war plans? My MERIT Act would reinstate recently terminated probationary federal employees and provide them back pay.

I want the various Smithsonian concerns to take it to court every damn time this administration wants them to change something. They say something is ahistorical? Make them prove it. You know they can’t

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
