I think its so fucking corrupt that our Governor & her Daddy have PACs that give the supposedly separate but equal legislature candidates money. How do they repay those favors? -by letting her get away with theft - passing her huge omnibus bills without fucking reading them. #arpx #arbluedots

We’re at war and it’s about time we start to act like it. newrepublic.com/post/196844/...

Wait… The Marines detained a veteran on his way to the VA today? Donald Trump’s Gestapo is vile.

The Marines are trained to defend our country—not to handle traffic stops and tape-line enforcement. Using them for petty civilian detentions isn’t just unconstitutional—it’s a waste of our national defense. Every minute spent policing U.S. streets makes us less safe where it actually matters.

The day before Trump celebrates the 250th birthday of the US Army, he has Marines illegally detain Army veteran Marcus Leao.

HISTORIC ESCALATION: U.S. MARINES DETAIN AMERICAN CITIZEN IN LOS ANGELES 🇺🇸 For the first time in modern U.S. history, active-duty Marines have reportedly detained a U.S. citizen on domestic soil; without the invocation of the Insurrection Act. Let that sink in.

Important thread by an outstanding mind and expert in this. Will add a couple of things: 1. I suspect that the Marines were told that detaining civilians was allowable. Need clarification on what their operating instructions are. 1/

Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man. A veteran.

The first civilian detained by Marines in Los Angeles was a Black man. You can’t ignore that this reflects a pattern of unequal treatment based on skin color. Racial profiling is illegal and unconstitutional. Don’t let this be buried under the wave of lawless behavior coming from Trump’s regime.

MAGAts boycotting Walmart because of Christy Walton's support for #NoKings protests are apparently blissfully unaware that much of the rest of her family is firmly in bed with some of Arkansas' most regressive politicians. #arpx www.cbsnews.com/news/walmart...

Tomorrow morning. No excuses. #ARProtest #ARBlueDots #ARpx #LittleRock #Resist #Arkansas

Arkansas's federal delegation is despicable. We must replace them all. #arpx

So all 4 Arkansas Republicans supported whacking funding for NPR and PBS, which in our state are operated by a state agency (Arkansas PBS) & 3 state universities (U of A, UALR & ASU) that will now have to deal with holes in their budgets. Gee, thanks guys. #arpx www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

If the counterprotesters succeed in provoking us, they win and our message loses. #NoKings @nokingshs.bsky.social

House plan to shift costs of SNAP benefits to states would create $100M hole in Arkansas' budget. Sen. John Boozman's plan reduces it to $60M. But, that $60M still has to come from somewhere. And the pockets of hungry people could be where legislators look. #arpx buff.ly/rGzU6Bm

Board that oversees prestigious Fulbright scholarships resigns en masse in protest of Trump administration's interference; State Dept. functionaries have canceled 200 scholarships awarded after year-long process. Program named in honor of late Arkansas Sen. William Fulbright. #arpx buff.ly/Buh9821

Dozens of Mayors from across the Los Angeles region banded together Wednesday to demand that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear across their cities and sparked protests across the U.S. www.thehindu.com/news/interna...

The Trump Justice Department is forcing some of the government's most experienced civil rights and environmental lawyers into what insiders have dubbed the "rubber room," according to a CBS News investigation published Wednesday.

This regime will be responsible for countless more deaths...the first term was bad with the horrible COVID response, but all these cuts are going to have so many long lasting effects. 🤬

For decades, Sec. Kennedy has spread lies about vaccines. Now, his misinformation will lead to preventable illness & death. Firing independent experts is a dangerous move that makes it harder for Americans to access vaccines that are safe, effective & essential to saving lives.

"What's happening in California would never happen here in Arkansas": oh, what would that be? People getting health care?

I promise you even if the murder rate was triple no one is choosing to move to fucking Arkansas from California. We can watch the Razorbacks on TV from the beach, herb
