Contrast is so clear: Do you want to live in Trump's America where disease spread, free speech is physically attacked and everything from government contracts to science depends on the whim of the mad king OR do you want to live in a free country, with vaccines and decisions based on merit

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

When federal agents arrested 30 year old Tufts graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk on March 25th, they were in masks, PLAINCLOTHES & not wearing badges. Without due process, this is kidnapping and trafficking. @housedemocrats.bsky.social & @democrats.senate.gov - we need hearings on this NOW!

This world absolutely frightens and confuses me. Is the president made of cheddar cheese? Is the job of the vice president to dispatch popes and fuck couches? I don’t know! But even I know that when you cut revenue by twice as much as spending, you get a bigger deficit.

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

The House GOP budget imposes austerity on those who need help—not to improve the budget deficit (it makes it worse), but to redistribute your money to those who need it least. It’s the reverse Robin Hooding of America.

#MSH45 | Night The gate on Spirit Lake Highway is locked. The mountain stands silent in the dark. Across the valleys and ridges, a few people settle in for the night—some returning home, others camping closer. Small choices. Nothing feels urgent. Yet, they will mean everything.

For at least half a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. But due to DOGE cuts, that is no longer possible in some parts of the country. America is infinitely less safe. Tens of millions of lives are being endangered by Trump and DOGE. GIFT: wapo.st/4k1Ha8B

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.
