Always remember that Trump pressured his GOP puppets not to pass an immigration bill in 2024 because he wanted to politicize that issue in the election. None of them cares whose lives they wreck.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

I'm so proud of my fellow Americans that stepped up and spoke out today. It warmed my heart and gives me so much hope for restoring some sense of normalcy to this country. Thank you all!

Good to know somebody is still working on the things that matter while I slack off

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck

True story bro.

This country makes me feel very conflicted today. I cannot believe the horrendous behavior of ICE and the federal government but I am simultaneously emboldened and proud of the people standing up for human rights and their neighbors.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Got shadow-banned on that lovely right wing cesspool that is Facebook. Comments mysteriously deleted and posts hidden because I've called out this right wing authoritarian bullshit. Bluesky FTW

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

*five years ago* Charles, he found dumber ones.

I just hope I survive long enough to see the traitors get what they deserve. C'mon leukemia, just give me that grace

Can someone explain to me how shooting a Tesla commercial is going to bring down the price of eggs?

Yes, millions of people will suffer but at least it's for a good cause: because one old asshole wanted to avoid going to jail for crimes he committed

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Ok that made me laugh

Great turnout in Portland, OR for the rally today, even though the Capitol is in Salem! Heartwarming to see other folks sharing in the frustration with this fascist coup. We're not in this alone

When a guy with 34 felony counts of fraud tells the Dept of Justice to stop enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act... I don't even know the punchline. This is so brazenly ridiculous. This guy needs to be removed from office yesterday.

Really confused why any of us should be paying federal taxes until this coup is sorted out. Until we have control over the Treasury department again, I will be deferring.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Luna loafin'

Guantanamo will be our Auschwitz

NEW: Appropriations democrats sound the alarm bells on the impoundment crisis trump created when he blocked congressionally appropriated money.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like this admin is way over their skis and we're seeing a perfect storm brewing with no agricultural labor due to fear of deportation, tariffs on at least 3 of our biggest food importers, and a looming Influenza epidemic. Hungry sick people don't follow orders...
