This is great. "Fired Govt Workers Are Pissed Off and Running for Office" @amandalitman.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/fired-gove...

Goldman on Trump threatening to deport Americans to a gulag in El Salvador: "This is the stuff of dictators ... Republicans in Congress have completely acceded to his wishes and turned over all of their own authority to Donald Trump. There is no check and no balance from Congress."

🤞🤞🤞

The America I want to live in !

I don't know how you can listen to this woman and not be doing everything in your power to bring him home. The Trump administration and Bukele's government are clearly using terror as a weapon against innocent people to scare us into submission. Kilmar Abrego Garcia deserves due process in the U.S.

Brave, courageous, powerful statement from Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer. Watch, cry a little, share and let's keep fighting everyone.

“In an authoritarian regime, the opposition needs symbols and stories. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is that symbol. His abduction in front of his autistic son and imprisonment in a foreign concentration camp is that story“ www.thebulwark.com/p/bring-him-...

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

The Trump administration pays El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's government $6 million to house prisoners it sends to CECOT. That’s the prison where Kilmar Abrego Garcia is currently being held. If the US controls the purse strings, then don’t pay El Salvador until Abrego Garcia comes home.

I will repost this every day until Andry is brought home. My heart breaks for him every day 💔 #FreeAndry #JusticeForAndry

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

“It's an important time to be an outspoken American ... Probably more important than any of us will ever see in our lifetimes.” Michael Fanone “I wholeheartedly believe that if we're going to win this fight, it's got to be a grassroots effort. It's got to be the American people." More here:

For ALL of us!

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

You tell 'em, AOC!

The U.S. House has passed a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote.

This will always be wonderful to watch.

Trump-Appointed Judge Rules Trump Administration Violated 1st Amendment by Banning AP Reporters. youtu.be/395SlSMzIiI?...

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

"The next step: Expand the resistance and target our efforts to force the regime to respond. That will take millions more Americans joining the fight, sustaining their commitment for the long haul & helping...formulate concrete and achievable demands & goals." www.americaamerica.news/p/the-resist...

Protest are really, really, really, really, really, really important. Protests matter. Everything matters .

But, let’s not mince words. The threat we face is vast, coordinated and dangerous. Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

The AP is not to be trifled with. 😂

And stay out!

The Trump administration is threatening all of our First Amendment rights by punishing students and scholars like Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, and Badar Khan Suri for their protected speech. Tell Congress: Our leaders must protect our right to free speech.

Trump chose to attend a Saudi-sponsored golf tournament rather than welcome home the remains of four soldiers. The vice president didn’t attended either. They don’t even pretend to care about service members. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT US.

If you care about kids, education, teachers, and the future of this country, follow Randi Weingarten. Then read her powerful statement on Trump’s latest attack—an un-American, unconstitutional move that targets the most vulnerable: poor children. Contact your MOCs. Keep the pressure on!
