HAPPENING NOW: A HUGE crowd of protesters march through the streets outside an FBI office in Milwaukee in support of Judge Hannah Dugan (Video: @unraveledpress.com)

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Our US constitution provides due process to all PERSONS, not just CITIZENS and SCOTUS has repeatedly affirmed this.

Bombshell...

Congressional Republicans are preparing to gut Medicaid and essential services to give the ultra-wealthy a tax cut. Talking with Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the Capitol steps this morning about how we make our voices heard in this moral moment.

It's Independent Bookstore Day, so remember that red states are pushing bills that would force booksellers to cover displays related to pride, hide books like "1984" and effectively ban "Banned Book" sections — all under the guise of protecting minors from "pornography" www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Gotta love those crazy socialist ideas!

Congressional Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Me too.

Today I sued the Trump Administration over unlawful funding conditions on K-12 Schools, including nearly $1.3 Billion awarded to the Michigan Department of Education.

Turns out violating due process and taking illegal authoritarian actions is not popular with the people.

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

Remember these words… “I will vote for you if you are brave…”

Keep the pressure on, keep reporting and sharing.

NEW: Nike has made an expansive effort to convince consumers, investors and others that it is improving the lives of factory workers who make its products, not exploiting them. A rare view of wages at one Cambodian factory tests this claim. With @oregonian.com

This.

For the people celebrating the weaponized arrest of Judge Hannah Dugan by the trump administration because "she broke the law," just remember that it also used to be against the law to hide folks like Anne Frank. What side of history are YOU on?

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

This is absolutely brutal

Great letter from the WI State Legislature re: the arrest of Judge Dugan.

The FBI arresting a Judge for interfering with ICE seems like yet another significant step into fascism. Rep Clancy's thread is the clearest explanation I've seen of what Judge Hannah Dugan did.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done.”

Pinning a new one.

More of the same. Every single instance needs to be prosecuted.

Good morning 🌞

History repeating itself right in front of us.

AG Bondi is ignorant of our Constitution & wants to bar anyone who isn't Christian from our Government. Our Constitution clearly states, Article VI “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States". This is our AG for crying out loud!

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Nice burn there buddy

Pope Francis taught us that in order to be great, we have to be good. Care for the poor, feed the hungry, be humble stewards of the Earth and treat others how we would want to be treated—even if they pray or live differently than us. His teachings remain as important as ever. May he rest in peace.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.
