Tell Your Senators: VOTE NO on SAVE Act! Dangerous bill has already passed in the House—now headed to the Senate This isn’t just about one bill—it’s about the direction of our country We’re watching an effort to drag us back 75 years—where only wealthy white men held power Take action today!

Preferably, the stupidest people in America & the President & his Cabinet wouldn't be the same people, but it seems that's where we are. Get your kids vaccinated. MEASLES IS HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS with ~90% of unvaccinated contracting the disease after exposure! It is deadly. thehill.com/policy/healt...

One man or a thousand should never be allowed to prevent food for children, medicine for the sick and freedom for those oppressed And no government should support it. 💙

Evidence suggests the Trump admin is engaged in a broader practice of revoking student visas beyond just targeting people who expressed pro-Palestinian opinions. They are now seemingly going after people for any minor infractions. I heard that one student with a jaywalking ticket got a visa revoked.

“We understand that the current administration seeks to censor anything it deems ‘diversity, equity & inclusion,’” he wrote. “But there are no federal or State laws prohibiting the principles of DEI.”

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

they made ‘idiocracy’ reality

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

This headline from the Toronto Sun belongs in the Louvre

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep its basic functioning has to discourage lying. rewarding it instead is suicidal

Keep an eye on North Carolina. The GOP effort to overturn the state supreme court race is a blueprint for Republicans nationwide, @ariberman.bsky.social reports www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

A divided D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated two members of independent federal agencies who were wrongfully dismissed by President Donald Trump as part of his effort to hollow out the government.

The Trump administration is comfortable disappearing people to foreign gulags partially because the Trumpis Justices on the Roberts Court have enabled him at every turn, rewriting the Constitution when necessary to accommodate Trump's lawlessness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump's cuts put children in danger. The CDC’s Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, which helped cities like Milwaukee address lead hazards in schools, has been eliminated. Without public health experts, kids at risk won’t get the help they deserve. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/02/h...

John Roberts is the Roger Taney of our time. And the ghost of Dred Scott is hovering around a gulag prison in El Savador. We are no longer a nation of laws, but of man. Really vile, soulless men.

Who lost their jobs at the FDA? The people who determine if a costly drug is ready to be a generic The people who test food and drugs for contaminants and deadly bacteria in several labs were let go The people talking to overseas drug safety regulators to get ahead of foodborne illness & deaths

Mike Johnson changed the House rules so that a vote for Congress to reclaim authority to do tariffs will never be scheduled, by declaring the rest of this Congressional term one single calendar day. www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/house-quie.... He could fix all of this before the US markets open.

As in the 14th Amend Sec. 3 insurrection case, & the Trump immunity case, this Court when dealing w/Trump continues to rule as though they are facing a hypothetical scenario rather than ruling in the context of an actual executive whose conduct demonstrates the worst case scenario of abuse of power.

The court was packed by Republicans for a moment like this.

make america great again means turning the clock on america’s political economy back to 1890, make america healthy again means doing the same for public health

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.
