We’re standing strong with Judge Hannah Dugan, targeted and arrested today by Trump’s thugs on bogus charges — all because she had the courage to block ICE from using her courtroom to hunt down immigrants. We see their cruelty, and we won’t be silent.”

Important work and coverage here by ACLU. Please support them. If US citizens are forcibly removed from their country of citizenship though it is something worse than a deportation. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Arresting judges. Threatening allies. Lying about trade deals. Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House. Floating a 2028 run. Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic. We must retake our democracy.

So rarely do archaeologists find a snapshot of a single moment in time. The Fenwick Treasure (other than being stunningly beautiful) is hugely important for understanding what happened when Boudicca burnt Colchester to the ground almost 2000 years ago. On display @colmuseums.bsky.social

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

The top 7 health insurers reported $34 billion in profits last year, while over 100 million Americans have $220 billion in medical debt. Medical debt is a uniquely American term to describe how private companies exploit sick people. Your debt is their profit.
