I'm attending Citizen Action of New York's event, “New York Stands Up: Mass Mobilization Call” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/citizenactio...

Start. Paying. ATTENTION. 😎✨

The. More. You. Know. 💫

Your School House Rock moment.....🤔

76% of Trump’s budget goes to the military and police. He’s gutting social safety nets while giving over $1T to the Pentagon — which hasn’t passed an audit in 6 years. He never cared about fraud and waste. He cares about having a militarized oligarchy.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

Qatar offered the jet directly to Trump, not the DoD. His team says the Air Force will “accept” it to dodge the Emoluments Clause, then donate it to his library so he can use it personally later. Using the AF as a loophole proves he’s just laundering a jet through the Pentagon.

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

To be clear - even the city of Nashville has no proof anyone ICE has arrested was a violent criminal or a gang member. (And due process is a thing) All anyone has is ICE’s word, backed up by @GovBillLee & Blackburn. Maybe the media could point that out instead of parroting their talking points?

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

I said this a few months ago, and I'll say it again: Part of our job as citizens is to make ICE as uncomfortable and frustrated as possible. Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any way to increase their anxiety. Make life as difficult as possible for them. (thread)

David Geier is RFK, Jr.’s pick to lead a federal study on autism. His father Mark Geier (1948-2025) was a de-licensed physician who wrongly testified in more than 90 cases that vaccines caused injury or illness. He had his license to practice medicine suspended or revoked in EVERY STATE. (Cont.)

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

Who would’ve thought we’d be living these books out? We are in perilous times.

Why?! 👇

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

Typical

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

I call 🐂 💩.....

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social, Brandon Johnson, didn’t hold back when asked about meeting with FOTUS officials to save federal funds, saying, “Outside of a 2016 Cubs World Series ring, I’m not kissing a ring.” What a delicious, strong #CupOfJoe he delivered! More please!

Trump used an emergency powers law to impose tariffs — but that law contains no reference to tariffs and no president has ever used it for this purpose.

Many native-born American immigration lawyers have received official letters from the government demanding that they self-deport. Apparently DHS used a list of aliens including many who listed their attorneys’ contact info by way of a care-of address. The country’s in the very best of hands.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

There we go. Support this man.

“This highly unusual step of directing armed law enforcement officers to the home of a former DoJ employee who has engaged in no misconduct, let alone criminal conduct, simply to deliver a letter, is both unprecedented and completely inappropriate.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On April 14, the agency plans to largely phase out phone services for people filing for retirement and survivor benefits or changing their direct deposit information, forcing them to file online or come into the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

BREAKING: The SAVE Act threatens our democracy by limiting poll access, banning online registration, and impacting women, seniors, trans people, and students. Contact your MOC and demand they vote NO on this bill. #HandsOffHerVote #HandsOffHerVote

This. We live in dangerous times.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

The pump don’t work cuz the vandals took the handles.

BREAKING: Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote. This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/NMeBG1rv

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, a military ID would no longer be valid to be able to register to vote. Our military put their lives on the line to protect this country, yet the GOP is trying to disenfranchise our military members. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/abj7w8PZ

69 MILLION American women will be DEPRIVED of their voice in democracy by the SAVE Act. Married women who've changed their names will be forced to fight for the right to vote. This is a SHAMEFUL ATTACK ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/Ce4b9JS7
