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.

Illinois is and forever will be a beacon of progress and equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the nation. We know that people are hurting right now and looking for answers. That's why I spent the afternoon hearing from folks on what we can do to support them right now.

After being told by the Supreme Court to bring Abrego Garcia home, and that it was illegal to send him and others to a foreign gulag without due process, the Trump administration this weekend sent 10 more people to the Salvadoran gulag without process.

also it’s obvious but it needs stating: the idea of turning into salvador into a giant lawless zone of gulags for americans who displease the administration is not authoritarian: this is one of the first major acts by MAGA that id classify as literally arendt-style totalitarianism

It's not that Elon is so much worse than Zuck or Bezos, it's that Elon is vulnerable and the others aren't. Tesla is Elon's only real business, and it's falling apart on its own. If we all help it fall apart faster, and take down Musk, the others will notice. Call it billionaire domino theory.

Talks like a normal intelligent person, says what she means, doesn't hedge anything and makes her position clear, appeals to both logic and emotion, humanizes the issue. Just miles ahead of Schumer and Jeffries.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

"Parking is a government-mandated tax on new housing and small businesses that we want, and the result that we get from it is more pavement, more air pollution, more tire dust, 6PPDQ pollution, and we know that it drives more traffic." - @masonthompson.bsky.social

wow the three month orgy of breaking long-standing agreements, abrogating contracts and shredding the constitution has damaged the full faith and credit of the united states that the entire global financial system rests on? might've been a bigger deal that Tim Walz' national guard retirement idk

Talked to @peterhamby.bsky.social for this piece and I explained that while many Americans may not care about or share certain opinions on transgender children, immigrants, and criminal justice, EVERYONE hates a recession — and you're seeing this already crop up in polls. puck.news/honeymoon-ov...

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in direct opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

It's really, really important to emphasize that the only way to stop this is impeachment. Wall Street, normies, Congress members, etc ... They all need to understand we're not going to recover via Congressional repeal of tariffs. The crisis is deepening because trust in America has evaporated.
