NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

MUST WATCH: Ilhan Omar told the truth and white America lost its mind. Why? Because she pulled the curtain back: “Our country should be more fearful of White men because they are causing most of the deaths.” Mass shooters. Cops. Militias. Proud Boys. That’s not an opinion. That’s data.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

People aren’t broke because they’re “splurging” on iPhones and lattes, people are broke because corporations have bought up housing, control our healthcare, and are gouging at the register.

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Indeed, Pogo, indeed.

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

Stephen Miller claims on Fox News that returning the Maryland father who was wrongly deported to El Salvador would constitute a "kidnapping" and "invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty." "He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador," Miller lies. "This was the right person sent to the right place."

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Ah the kind of Making America Great again where the president of El Salvador wipes his ass with the flag and the constitution in the Oval Office, got it

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

American citizens who support anti-genocide protesters are not safe.

Absolutely evil

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday. The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

CNN: Stock market plummets MSNBC: Stock market craters Highlights for Children: Stock market down big FOX News:

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

I for one am a big fan of safe food, clean water, breathable air, and products that don't poison me or catch fire. More people need to ask themselves WHY corporations want to operate without regulations. It's certainly not because they're up to anything good.

Peter Marks cites RFK Jr.'s 'misinformation and lies' as a reason for his resignation : Shots - Health News

Yep

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.   They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.   That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

Unbelievable. Loyalty is like mud in their lungs.

I think I like the real leader of the Democratic Party. (He's leading but maybe too far ahead for some of them to see?)

Some really excellent words spoken here. Link to part two in the first response. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82VVchk/

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans: 1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk. 2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official. something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

Here’s something disgusting

This is amazing

I listened to this interview with Maria Ressa today. Very interesting insights. A little frightening. She is super sharp and concise. A good listen. “The death of democracy is a byproduct of letting tech remain the most unregulated industry globally”

Elon Musk is a lying sociopathic turd.
