This thread from @bxroberts.org is worth your time 👇👇

This is NOT ok. If people have violated laws, or are criminals & need to be deported then give them their due process in court. Otherwise, leave people alone! FFS! We have a felon & adjudicated rapist in our White House & he’s kidnapping & trafficking people. WHAT ARE WE DOING?! #ProudBlue #OneV1

Happening now in Los Angeles

Something else in common…the descendants are still told they don’t belong. We should be united ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

"Everyone belongs. There are unhoused people, mentally ill people, library kids, library teens, grandparents, autistic people, neurodivergent people who all use a library, and it belongs to all of them.” —Mychal Threets #ReasonstoLoveLibraries bit.ly/3RGM52r

Thus this EO… from April 28. This is the order to BUILD the police state.

BREAKING: Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, issues a TRO blocking the Trump administration from "dissolv[ing]" the Institute of Museum and Library Services, placing any more employees on administrative leave, or terminating any grants in the coming days.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congressman John Garamendi tells Call to Activism that Republicans are pushing a $150 BILLION slush fund for Trump and Pete Hegseth to use at their discretion to "update” American missiles - with little oversight into how the money is spent and who profits.

ICE = American oprichniki

The human condition suffers when fear overwhelms sense. Conspiracy theories do not top proven science and endangering our children because reading is hard is not an acceptable action.

We need UBI so badly. I just cannot put into words how worried I am for one of my coworkers right now. If we had UBI, I wouldn't need to worry like I am about the things I am.

I just want you to know I consider you all my friends, and Zuckerberg can go suck it.

Religious liberty doesn’t mean the government gets to run a Catholic charter school, Governor. That’s religious privilege—and it’s unconstitutional. Public schools must serve all Oklahomans, not just the favored faith of politicians.

Donold is demanding an investigation into his 39% approval rating. I agree, there's no way it's actually that high.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

Small businesses are collectively panicking. We're okay, for now, but I'll implore you to shop small whenever you can coming up. Bezos can ride the wave. That small etsy store, maybe not.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

This is real. I just looked.

I ran a youth journalism program for over a decade and did regular battle with mainstream press folks who wanted me to explain why I wasn't teaching kids from Roxbury and Dorchester and Mattapan to be more "objective" about the systems of oppression they experienced every day. 🙄

Walz: I do want to give a huge shout out to our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Overnight, attorneys for Kilmar Abrego Garcia filed a short but satisfying bonus reply brief with SCOTUS, taking issue with two brand-new factual claims in the govt's latest brief. 🧵 www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

I wish things were boring again. Uneventful. Unremarkable. Dull even. Nothing happening that's noteworthy. Interesting times are vastly overrated.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

The simultaneous crash of the stock market and the bond market is super ominous. But also a totally foreseeable consequence of this insane tariff policy. So is it incompetence or part of a plan to crash the economy? An increasingly important question.

LEGAL UPDATE - The GMC has attempted to blindfold the court to important new evidence, and prevent us from responding to its lead witness. And it has failed. anaesthetistsunited.com/legal-update...

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.”

In the end, anti-vaxxer parents hate science more than they love their children.

I strongly doubt the rest of the planet's 7 billion citizens are going to tolerate allowing one insane grandpa to do this to all of them for much longer.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
