New Yorkers: Please remember to vote for Zohran Mamdani in the June primary and don't rank Andrew Cuomo because he killed nursing home residents during covid, stole money all over the place, and couldn't keep his grimy hands off of his female staff. Repeatedly.

Rich people are amazing. People will be going hungry out there, and they’ll be like yeah, but I went to space.

Bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Godspeed. I pray you can bring him home to his family.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Yes, please. Past time to show your teeth.

Where the fuck is Andry José Hernández Romero, the gay makeup artist renditioned to El Salvador? And why is he not in the news? www.them.us/story/andry-...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

IMPEACHMENT NOW!

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

ATTN: Join members of the legal community for a virtual rally to speak out about attacks on judges, lawyers, and the rule of law on Tues, 4/15. An independent legal community is critical to protecting civil society against abuses of power. Register to speak up for justice: speakupforjustice.law

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

Los Angeles, I’ll be joining the Fighting Oligarchy tour tomorrow! Speaking and then playing the drums. Join us!

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

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.

Maddow: They cannot defend what they're doing, they cannot commit to what they're doing, but they also can't even reverse what they're doing when they try to reverse it because they are so incompetent, they can't even fail properly

Not too late to stand in front of the offices and bring your staff, some muscle and some lawyers, congresspeople.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

I agree with this post

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Can you spell "Kyle Rittenhouse"?

You know what? I've been all for quote dunking on Adam Schiff this whole time, & nothing y'all are calling him out for now is untrue, BUT this week he's held a shadow hearing AND put a hold on Ed Martin's nomination. Is it enough? No. But it's more than he was doing, & I want to acknowledge that.

This isn’t my father’s GOP. It’s the MAGA party - one Donald Trump made in his own image hellbent on tearing government down to serve one person: Donald Trump. That’s why we need a new generation of leadership who understands this isn’t business as usual, and it’s why I’m running for US Senate.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

'Due process is a fundamental human right, enshrined in international law and many national constitutions, ensuring fair and just treatment under the law.' ALL HUMANS DESERVES DUE PROCESS.

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.
