This matters. This is fighting. Make noise and yell and use every microphone you have. Way to go @booker.senate.gov

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This whole stunt with the water in California was just a marketing campaign for an idiot. No one was helped and valuable water was wasted. And it accomplished nothing but giving Trump something to brag about to people too stupid to know better.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Thank you, thank you, thank you, @booker.senate.gov!!!

The man has run into burning buildings multiple times to save constituents. He’s a vegan and a workout junkie. He’s got this.

In an effort to suppress minority representation, Greg Abbott refuses to set a special election for Texas 18th district which is 44 percent Hispanic and 33 percent black. These people could go unrepresented for two years.

The Signalgate “idiot” who caused — and is now investigating — the scandal reportedly hosted multiple chats about national security on the app. You can’t make this shit up. 🙄

Someone I know cancelled their trip to the US because, according to them, "it looks too crazy over there." He lives in Pakistan, folks.

Elon Musk asked me to do a crime and I did it!

FRANCE: Put the felon in prison and bar them from running for president. UNITED STATES: Elect the felon president.

Read this.

I gasped.

What hellscape are we living in when we are criminalizing and labeling toddlers.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

The whole point of due process is TO SEE IF YOU’VE VIOLATED THE LAW

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident. THAT staffer is being punished — so why aren’t Hegseth & Waltz???

Before the war, Nazi Germany demanded that multinational corporations doing business in Germany fire any Jewish executives they had and by and large, they complied.

On this day in 1964, segregated white churches in Jackson, Mississippi, barred two interracial groups from entering Easter Sunday services. Nine men were arrested and convicted of disturbing public worship.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Remember the Project 2025 training videos from last year? Yeah. Some are in the thread below. We knew this shit was happening for at least two decades, and in earnest since he decided to run the first time. Deep down, you did too. Fuck off. Yes you did. You just didn’t think it would impact you.

Will Bunch: “the American thought police have disappeared a promising student into their gulag archipelago for the alleged “crime” of publishing their political opinion in a college paper…stop talking about the threat of creeping authoritarianism because tyranny is already here, spreading fear.”

🧵1/ Fighter pilots are furious. As they should be. It’s horrific to see the very people who risk their lives for us—fighter pilots—angry, bewildered, and quite frankly, afraid. Pilots say this reckless leak put crews at risk. One called it a stunning betrayal. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

The footage of ICE agents detaining Tufts doctoral student, Rumeysa Ozturk, is disconcerting. Let's be clear: her arrest without due process does nothing to keep Jewish students safe.

Ah yes, that was definitely how these folks treated HRC.

NEW! The Trump administration appears to have sent a married father with NO CRIMINAL RECORD in any country to rot in a prison in El Salvador because of a PAPERWORK ERROR. This man doesn’t even have tattoos! But his paperwork has two different peoples’ ID numbers listed and the wrong last name!

“There is no administration in the world — beyond this one — where a blunder of these proportions happens and nobody gets fired or resigns. Not in London. Not in Moscow. Not in Tokyo. Not in Pyongyang. Nowhere.” www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Either you find this disgusting, or you are disgusting. There is no in between.

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

a bunch of government goons from ICE/HSI showed up to an elementary school in DC this morning and tried to detain a staff member in the parking lot but the person's colleagues intervened and stopped it and let that be a reminder to all of us that we can do that

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Absolutely no reason whatsoever for this kind of behavior. They could have literally just handed her a Notice to Appear in immigration court. There is zero (ZERO) requirement to take her into custody. The law is clear that arrest for someone who isn't "mandatory detention" is a MAY not a SHALL.

😡

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.” So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.
