“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” — Gandhi On April 5, something remarkable happened. Across more than 1,400 cities and towns, Americans stepped into the streets—not for spectacle, not for violence, but for protest. jimvincent.us/one-saturday...

Contrary to its public narrative, the agency cast a wide net in its California immigration raid, setting the stage for a legal battle over how the government carries out mass deportations. buff.ly/pM77fg0 📸 Kevin Clancy

I want to point this out because it's easy to miss this detail: SCOTUS's ruling on the Alien Enemies Act is so horrifically bad that 𝗔𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Trump has disappeared $9 trillion dollars. Just so you know, it would take approximately 24,658 years to spend $9 trillion at $1 million per day. Glad I could clear that up

“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

2022: undocumented immigrants paid $96 billion into Social Security/Medicare—yet these Trump marks have no clue they pay into the system & get nothing back. Just going to say it—Dems don’t have a messaging problem. We have a stupid people problem & encyclopedia-length memes won’t reach these folks.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Wait. 😳😳😳 Chuck Schumer is starting a book tour THIS WEEK? Oh. fighting for the American people inconvenient for you? No time to devote to fighting for democracy? It’s time for you to step down. We don’t have time to spare and you’re going on a book tour. UNBELIEVABLE. @schumer.senate.gov

Do not visit the USA. Nazis will arrest you. American tourism is dead.

🚨 A woman was assaulted by brown shirts in Idaho at a Town Hall meeting. Let me repeat that. A woman was assaulted during a TOWN HALL MEETING by brown shirts In Idaho. While men sat there, watched and some cheering it on, including other women. She’s a doctor. Her name is Dr. Teresa Borrenpohi.

Here is a thread of all the emails, links & numbers to call regarding Teresa Borrenpohl’s unlawful arrest after being dragged from the Town Hall meeting in Kootenai County, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. 🧵 👇

After asking questions and making remarks about Medicaid, Teresa Borrenpohl was told to leave a town hall in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. After Borrenpohl refused to leave, men tried to carry her out, then forced her to the ground. Clear violations of her constitutional & civil rights! PREPARE FOR THIS.

This is the Fb profile page of Ed Bejarana, the speaker at the Idaho town hall who mocked a woman being forcibly removed for exercising her first amendment rights by telling her “your voice is meaningless right now” and calling her “little girl”. He also has an instagram profile.

Want to help amplify the message? If there’s an organization or person you’d like GSUS to partner with, comment on their posts mentioning us, email them (respectfully) sharing that you would like them to and why. We have to cut through the noise to build more momentum. #generalstrike #uspolitics

Perfectly captured.

Among the USAID reports now taken offline by Elon Musk's "Doge" is the one I used on Tuesday to prove the US has spent exactly $0 on condoms for Gaza, not $50 million — false information the White House press secretary said she got from Elon Musk's "Doge" www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Bad Journalism: 1. Reporting TikTok may shut down Sunday w/o mentioning that the bipartisan law was a Donald Trump demand. 2. Failing to report that Trump's money man Elon Musk wants to buy the app. 3. Failing to report the Trump says he's now pro TikTok because these days "I'm a star" on the app.
