Following court orders: mandatory. Following the Constitution: mandatory. Hope that clears things up.

We're watching public schools on shoestring budgets around the country protect their students while Ivy League Us with massive endowments sell out theirs. B/c public schools are schools who serve the kids, while Big Us are hedge funds and it's clear what they serve.

If you build a machine to oppress people, the People Oppression Machine will constantly search for new targets. There is no off switch. This has always been true.

The world knows about climate change mostly because of great American researchers, and that work has been largely centered at NOAA. Trump and Musk are now shutting down that brilliant work. They are contemptible, short-sighted, and sold out www.science.org/content/arti...

Question: if Tr*mp is such a big strong bestest most powerful leader, how come he's too weak to get Abrego Garcia back from teeny tiny El Salvador? He's so impotent he can't extract one little dude from a torture prison he's funding with our tax dollars? Huh.

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

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?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

This era of mass grift—driven by one of the most corrupt administrations in American history—isn’t just a crisis. It’s a massive opportunity for the Democratic Party to lead an unapologetic, system-wide anti-corruption campaign.

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

I spoke to a new group who just started organizing in Kansas City. This is their fourth meeting with about 80 in attendance. They organized an empty seat Townhall last month. Keep at it, friends.

Hey look at that - I just hit a 100k friends here! To mark the occassion, here are 10 thoughts in no particular order: 1) Organize where you live. 2) Build a community that people want to join. Welcome newbies. 3) The fascists want you to give them power. Don't.

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE. Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal. This is an assault on every single taxpayer's rights and will destroy lives.

After yesterday, I will be reminding myself (on and endless loop) of the truth that "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." We are just starting to reclaim our power. It's ours. This is our country. These are our lives. The power lies with us.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

People with a pathological need for control, when faced by something too large or complex for them to feel truly in control, will use the power they have to tear down and diminish the thing so it is easier to control. This is what Trump is doing to the US.

This is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with no criminal record. He has a wife and three children. His family is waiting for him to return home to Maryland, but at this point, it’s unclear if this will happen. He is only 29 years old. This is a travesty of humanity.

So the plan, as I understand it, is to raise taxes on all of us in the form of tariffs, deplete our retirement funds so we have to work literally to death, and hollow out the government. All of this so trump can pass tax breaks for Musk et al.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving. I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

If it's true, as the White House claims, that the jackboots can yank a father from his house, fly him to a hellhole in El Salvador with no due process, and say there's no recourse because US courts have no jurisdiction in El Salvador, then it seems we could give Stephen Miller the same treatment.

Lawlessness is intentionally removing prisoners from the US courts' jurisdiction so you have no accountability when you deprive them of their rights and do other awful things to them. The thing you monsters forgot: The courts still have jurisdiction over YOU for doing that.

This is my friend Pam and her husband Ron. He is a Vietnam veteran. They have both been involved in POW causes for decades. Yesterday, at a hands off rally in St Joseph, Missouri, a man drove around them in his pickup yelling at them. MAGA folks are not patriots. They never were.

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.
