Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This is some sick shit

Defying the Supreme Court’s ruling is an ALARM that our democracy has ended. Any of us could be kidnapped and taken out of the US. Remember that Kilmer Abrego Garcia was in the US legally, married to a US citizen, has US citizen children, and is a member of a trade union. PROTEST NOW!

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Thank you Casey Wasserman & #LA28 for recognizing that Huntington Beach -- ground-zero for MAGA extremism -- doesn't deserve to be showcased when the Olympics come to beautiful, diverse, welcoming Southern California!

AOC: I heard that someone was flying a plane with a banner that said this is Trump country… It sure don’t look like it today. I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

Where are we ordering our Handmaid’s wardrobes from since we are boycotting Amazon?

🧵: We’ve been tipped off about a kidnapping, potentially ICE, in Santa Ana on N Parton Street & Civic Center Dr, by the OC Central Justice Center. 10:15AM. Several men, wearing unofficial law enforcement type gear, grabbed a Latino man off the street and stuffed him into the back of a vehicle. /1

Every Dem politician should follow @booker.senate.gov and finally stand up for the American people!

🎈 Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! PLEASE REPOST handsoff2025.com

Was at the dentist this morning. Dentist: How's it going? Me: Eh, haven't been added to any confidential Signal chats! Dentist: ...what? Neither dentist nor her assistants had any idea about the top headline on every single news site yesterday. Talk about it. GET PEOPLE to follow the news.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

ABSOLUTELY CHILLING.

Hiya. Please continue helping others by sharing ways for them to get involved & to stay connected docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Let me know if I am missing any, so they can be added. Getting involved, staying connecting, & tuning in: #GetInvolved #TogetherIsBetter

Absolutely *not* a bribe.🙄

This is an excellent highlight of our friend, Tory Johnson, who has championed Black Lives Matter in Huntington Beach and continues fighting for a safe HB for black folks and all others. It's worth the read. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social @socalextremismwatch.com @daisygardner.bsky.social

The HB CC just doxxed a BUNCH of citizens. Resident Proud Boy Luke Dennis showed a video he took of the signature petition that HB citizens signed to protect the library. This is an EXPLICIT crime - and the video was reviewed by the new City Clerk (endorsed by Calvary Chapel) before it was aired

Dictator shit

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Please call Padilla and Schiff this morning! There is a very short script regarding Cloture (Budget bill) vote today. They need to vote NO to stop 47 and musk! 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

What the f*ck, Chuck⁉️ This is what we’re dealing with in our current Democratic leadership… “It’s a disaster in a few weeks if there was a shutdown, everyone would be complaining…” — @schumer.senate.gov Chris Hayes makes more sense than Schumer. Watch this.

Keep this in mind: Elon Musk’s net worth is tied to Tesla stock—he uses it as collateral for loans. Tesla lost 48% of its value in months—sales are down, investors don’t trust him, and JPMorgan says there’s no historic comparison. Hype built his empire. Reality is catching up.

Donald Trump just congratulated Chuck Schumer on his decision to vote YES on the Republican CR. @schumer.senate.gov , you are on the wrong side!

THE INTERVIEW PETER THIEL SCRUBBED FROM THE INTERNET Billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel gave an interview in 2011, in which he tipped his hand about his anti-democratic plans and neo-monarchist philosophies. Since then, Thiel has erased the document from the internet. We obtained a physical copy. 1/6

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

America does not need a ‘resistance,’ or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Many folks spoke at the HB CC meeting last night in solidarity w/ @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Pat, caught on a hot mic to Gracey (who came up w/ the MAGA plaque): "See what you started? Gracey: "...Trump Derangement Syndrome." Pat: "Oh, fuck 'em." @socalextremismwatch.com @mjszabo.bsky.social

HBCC mtg last night. Yes, that’s exactly what it looks like and she did it probably five times in succession.

A little update on last night’s HB City Council meeting. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2QM4abn/

Trump spoke for 90 minutes—and didn't say one word about the stress the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck are facing right now.

Whelp, that felt pretty good flipping off the HB City Council tonight. Thanks for letting me say the 2nd half of your speech @chriswarcraft.bsky.social!

We've spent TRILLIONS on defense in the past 10 years, and Russia just quietly invaded us from within without firing a single shot.

Hey @daveminca.bsky.social , @adamschiff.com , @alexpadilla4ca.bsky.social , you guys might want to read this thread and take some notes. You don’t even have to break any laws!

And, just like that, the shining city on the hill has become a seedy Atlantic City casino, morally and patriotically bankrupt.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Seems like Hegseth's Stand Down Our Defenses Against Russia order should be getting a bit more attention.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
