We continue to stand with Judge Dugan against yet another authoritarian attempt to silence dissent, punish dissenters, and intimidate everyone else from ever joining them. Obstructing fascism is our duty, not a crime.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The kids are alright 🥰 I stand with the University of Alabama College Democrats ✊

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

Class warfare

Read this judge! And follow him. He's a truth teller

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

As we look at an administration that will undoubtedly reactivate the draft because enlistment numbers have plummeted, they are actively stripping benefits from veterans. My dad was drafted. His stomach cancer was directly tied to his job burning munitions during Vietnam. Resist.

Elmo here is whining to Sean Hannity about Tesla dealerships being burned and Tesla's being vandalized even as he and his merry little band of barely pubescent hackers attempt to burn down our government.

I spoke with @audiosand.bsky.social for @npr.org All Things Considered about the fact that the "Anti-DEI" movement is an anti-Civil Rights Movement. www.npr.org/2025/03/17/n...

Every day I am amazed at friends who are trying to carry on like shit is normal. Here we are at our panel at SXSW about something they're defunding next week. Look at this great veteran employment conference as they're firing thousands of vets. Here's a pic of us touring the White House! Wake up!

Even if you were on Team Schumer before, you have to admit—his record against McConnell has been abysmal. Chuck has dropped the ball too many times, proving he’s no match for today’s Trump-led Republican Party. Even worse, the people believe he sold us out. It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to go!

I love this

Homan: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."

Everyone in media is again asking are we in a Constitutional crisis. STOP!!!! We have been in crisis for sometime and it is being organized by a Russian asset who happens to be President. The question that should be asked is how do we get out of this crisis? Who is left to defend America?

💯

Very proud to know this gentleman. Whether we’re GOTV in South Texas, becoming delegates in El Paso, representing our constituents in Chicago… or whether @algreenofficial.bsky.social is SPEAKING UP 🗣️ at the SOTU, Rep. @algreen.house.gov is *always* fighting on behalf of Texans and ALL Americans! 💙🇺🇸

There it is. Raskin always on point.

Elon Musk is now $122 billion poorer than he was at his post-election peak, due to Tesla stock plummeting. www.forbes.com/sites/dereks...

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

WE GOT THIS! Starts NOW - through the 14th. Don’t touch Amazon or anything Jeff Bezos owns.

Cruelty is the point

It was very very clearly an ambush

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Gay Valimont is the Dem nominee in the Florida special election to replace Matt Gaetz on April 1st. The House is currently 216 Dems & 217 Reps. 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗣 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 6 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀. Winning this critical election would put Trump & Elon's disastrous agenda on HALT!!!

If “cold-blooded” was a human… Nothing screams “patriotism” like cosplaying as ICE to terrorize immigrants. It’s pure cruelty, and CPAC is out here cheering for harassment like it’s a game. F*ck this dude!!!

This is the guy that every single Republican in the Senate is going to act like is unacceptable ad Deputy FBI Director and then vote for after pussing out again. Dan Bongino is a fascist monster.

“I’ll see you and raise you one.”

Project 2025 was just the stuff they were willing to put into print.

Joy Reid will always be an important voice speaking truth to power. For such a time as this.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

Whats their plan?

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist. Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

Very true

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

I agree. We will never be the same again. BUT, it could also be our chance to fix all that was wrong. Like health care for all, green new deal, etc. .but...when, and what will be left after all this is the problem.

"Shutting off their devices whether done intentionally or not marked an alarming new step, 2 people said.The US attorneys are responsible for the fedl response to threats, including coordinating with state & local law enforcement & signing off on court filings." news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...

Let’s be extremely clear about what is happening at USAID: The President is letting the wealthiest individual on the planet tear apart an organization that provides MEDICINE and FOOD to the poorest children on Earth.
