People ask me how I don't succumb to despair. 1. We don't really have that luxury 2. If I feel hopelessness creeping in, I reframe the situation to accurately see what's happening and what is to come: I am reminding myself that a post-Tr*mp era is coming and we decide what it looks like.

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

To ensure fair elections in 2026, we must stop the GOP’s voter suppression bill in the Senate. House Republicans have passed legislation that would restrict access to the ballot & end online and mail-in voter registration. Tell your senators to protect voting rights by rejecting this dangerous bill.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

A commenter told me not to refer to CECOT as "America's Auschwitz" bc it "minimizes the atrocity of that death camp" to do so. They clearly don't know what CECOT is. Auschwitz didn't start out as a death camp. It started out like CECOT. I chose the comparison bc they follow the same trajectory.

Bluesky keeps deleting Doaa’s account, please keep donating and sharing to help her and her family.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Say it with us: “constitutional crisis”

TRUMP: If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court. REPORTER: And the lower-court judge as well? TRUMP: I'm not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.

Despicable. This is your sign it can happen to you. Fight back. Fuck ICE. Fuck 🍊 and his gestapo.

Good things will still happen

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Humanity is getting a very quick refresher course in how evil, dangerous psychopaths can simultaneously be utterly pathetic losers. There is no contradiction!

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

I have been screaming about this since Feb. Our tax dollars are being used to traffick innocent men to an El Salvadoran gulag known for brutality and human rights violations. Our tax dollars are funding this. We are paying them millions to hold these men captive in a foreign country.

The people telling you to "be cool" while THEY fuck up your 401K are going to be fine financially, no matter what happens. Fuck that. Be pissed. STAY pissed. And vote Republicans OUT. Every last cowardly one of them.

Holy fuck, I missed this. Ideas? Or fuck no. Fuck you ICE, we do not tolerate thought crime here. Come out and try it you gestapo fucks.

Every DOJ lawyer on this case is despicable, and without courage nor ethics. I don't know how these attorneys sleep at night arguing for an innocent man to be illegally held and held and held and held some more at a torture prison.

🚨NEW CAP analysis: Trump's latest tariffs will cost families $4,600 per year🚨 📈Berry, banana, coffee, and nut prices UP 10% 📈Playstation 2 UP $700+ 📈iPhone prices will more than DOUBLE This is not a pause. Trump is betraying the middle class. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

The endless failure of all three branches of govt to stop this nightmare must cement the reality in all of our hearts and minds that there is no savior coming. As I have said since Nov 6: they will not stop this. We, The American People, will stop this. We must save ourselves.

Excellent reminder. The Tr*mp regime swiftly negotiated the release and return to the US of two men accused of rape and sex trafficking. But they can't return an innocent man who they are paying to keep in a torture prison?
