They are arresting/deporting people 'they' think shouldn't be here without due process. They are arresting judges. They are planning to arrest journalists. They are tanking our economy...on purpose. They are antagonizing our allies. They are pro-Putin and his invasion. 1/2

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process. More of this.

I rose on the House floor in opposition to occupant Trump’s hostile attacks on Black history. Black brilliance exists in every corner of this nation. And I want every single person to walk into our Smithsonian museums & see our accurate history on full display.

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history. Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30. It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

We would save $650 billion per year in government spending by passing universal healthcare with Medicare for All. That is way more money than DOGE will save, and way more beneficial than anything they’ll ever do.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

I’m trying real hard not to react to every announcement 47 makes. This outrageous plan to send 30,000 migrants to Guantanamo detention camp though!?!?? Anyone in South Florida knows of a protest, demonstration, rally, anything—please let me know because I want to be there.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

I’ll never understand how America was unable to do what Brazil did after Bolsonaro (a.k.a. “Trump of the Tropics”) led his own January 6. He became INELIGIBLE to run for office for 8 years! I expected the same, if not better, from the nation once regarded as the world's model for democracy. #sad
