Look at this sweet, innocent baby —small, scared, utterly alone in a courtroom. No lawyer. No protection. No justice. Trump cut legal aid for migrant children, tearing away their last lifeline. They say they care about families. But this? This is sanctioned cruelty. @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social

👍🏽❤️

Happy Easter to those who celebrate and Zissen Pesach to my family.

Happy #Caturday. Loki the adventure seeker is not so sure about the pool.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

i get that the tariffs are really bad but tbh if you're screaming louder about the tariffs than you are about people being kidnapped and sent to torture-prisons for having tattoos or writing op-eds i am gonna be suspicious of you

ELIE MYSTAL: “This is what fascism looks like. I don’t know what y’all expected it to look like… People are being abducted and disappeared from our streets. These people haven’t even been charged in court.” 🇺🇸

He did it John. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

One person stepping up and and meeting the moment is the kind of courage we need in this moment. If we do only what we’ve been doing, nothing is going to change. @booker.senate.gov is showing us a different path 👊🏻🇺🇸🔥

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

"Life ain't about the degrees you get, it's about the service you give" -Sen. Booker More of this.

NEW: DOGE is trying to gift itself a building worth $500 million, court filings show. It's the culmination of a dramatic battle between DOGE and the United States Institute of Peace, a Congressionally funded think tank. www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

Heimdall, the Terrorizer, is finally asleep after a morning of zoomies. Happy belated #Caturday.

And don’t forget 🥰

Happy #Caturday! Don’t forget to take a break today.

Happy International Women's Day! May we all embody this energy today and always.

“The most anti-veteran administration ever”

If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.

The RA’s got me down. My favorite nurse is cheering me up this #Caturday.

The biggest man in that room.

Are you kidding me/us? I’m nearly speechless. I believe in us. I believe in democracy. But the ways Trump/Musk are breaking apart the U.S., tearing down what makes our nation great, and destabilizing our international alliances & destroying our world peace is nothing short of a disgrace. Speak out.

Donald Trump is embarrassing the United States on the world stage. We are a country that stands up to dictators and fights for democracy. Minnesota stands firmly with our allies in Ukraine.

Amen to that.

Millions of tax dollars already being wasted so Big Brother can interrupt breakfast. This ad ran during the @todayshow.com I promise: if you accept govt money to run threat-filled govt propaganda in my kitchen, to my family, I’m no longer watching your show. Please RT to send the same message.

Does anyone here want to keep the immigrants but have all republicans rounded up for a roadtrip to Russia? ✋🏻

SHAMEFUL! The truth behind teacher pay in Florida: Florida ranks second-to-last for teacher pay at an average salary of just over $53,000 a year. That’s $16,000 less than the national average&$7,000 less than the salary of an average Florida worker. cbs12.com/news/local/t...

It is essential that every Jew DENOUNCE JD Vance and Musk praising the AfD German far right party. As a third generation survivor of the Holocaust, I am absolutely SICKENED! I am grateful that my grandparents who survived concentration camps and watched their family die are not here to witness this.

Every day the news goes from bad to worse. Joy is a form of resistance & I needed some joy this weekend.

It’s been a rough week. This was a good reminder 🩷

Dozens of US middle school students at a U.S. military installation in Germany walked out as part of protests aimed at Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The main organizer was a 13 year old girl. #3E #EndImpunity

please stop bringing Ye's trash from Over There to Over Here

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️
