Hell yeah

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

This is our chapter of the Civil Rights Movement. #HandsOff

From Washington, DC to California, Boston to Cleveland, Salt Lake City to New York City, America’s unions and working people turned out by the millions to tell this administration: #HandsOff our unions, contracts, rights, and essential services!

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Last night, every Senate Democrat voted for my amendment calling for a $17 an hour federal minimum wage while every Republican but 1 opposed it. The movement to raise the minimum wage to a living wage is growing. In 2025, a job must lift you out of poverty, not keep you in it.

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death. Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

Letting the Confederates off after the Civil War was a horrible mistake.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

As Trump tanks the economy, he knows he and his billionaire buddies will be fine no matter what. If you and your family have more to lose, make sure your member of Congress hears from you. www.huffpost.com/entry/financ...

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

If only they would

Meanwhile he's sending immigrants to this --- and excited to send Americans there too.

Instead of using “emergency“ decrees to move us toward authoritarianism, Trump should declare our broken health care system an emergency and move us toward guaranteed health care for all. When 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured, that’s the true emergency.

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.

Do not fly Avelo Airlines they will be flying deportation flights.

Important information for the NC Supreme Court election!

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social: “I have not met one person who says, yes, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos need more tax breaks — and that money should come from my mom’s Medicare, or our Social Security!”

Hey @mtsw.bsky.social, is there any heuristic that might help me make sense of this headline and image choice?

The president of the NCAA says there are less than 10 trans athletes across all competative college sports. LESS THAN 10 (also, "globalists" wtf) thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

I'm sure Americans everywhere can't wait.

Remember how we told you Trump took out a full page add calling for the death penalty for 5 Black teenagers accused of rape & even after they were exonerated refused to disavow his earlier public call for their execution? For him law exists for cruelty & draconian punishment.He will use & abuse it.

What did Trump’s "Liberation Day"do this week? Raised prices on Main Street, crashed stock markets on Wall Street, and put those with jobs at our ports at risk of losing them. Not quite liberating...

While Republicans hide, Cory Booker shows up and gives his constituents a voice. Who’s cutting onions?

All this must be fixed once these clownish bigots are removed from power. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I needed to hear this. Maybe you do too. “Fear has a way of being contagious… courage is also contagious.” — Kamala Harris Man, I miss her.

We’re DONE with power-hungry billionaires dismantling our benefits and protections. Trump and Musk think they can do whatever they want, but we’re gathering TOMORROW to tell them “hands off”. If you’re with us, join an action near you: MoveOn.org/HandsOffAction

A new analysis indicates Republicans’ plan to extend soon-to-expire provisions of Trump’s 2017 tax law, as well as their push to tack on additional tax breaks, would cost $7 trillion over the next decade, a figure that a group of congressional Democrats called “staggering.”

The unspoken "solution" to this is prison labor

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.
