Our local manufacturing capacity is increasing. We’ve produced a similar but sturdier Cybertruck, named the Bergerblock (Left Photo.) We’ve also produced a facsimile of the humans we expect to purchase our Bergerblocks. Our artisan designer named it “Fragilis Masculinis” which is Latin, we think.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

For folks who can't seem to handle multiple thoughts in your pretty little heads: Yes, bad shit is still bad. That does not, however, change the fact that it is news that, following Friday's hearing, State has confirmed where Abrego Garcia is and that he is alive.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

#ProudBlue #MomSky We are seeing this daily from way too many in Congress. The GOP has completely given up their power to the Executive branch. Every single one of them needs to be primaried.

Massachusetts providers shouldn't be punished for helping young people coming from out of state access necessary, legal abortion care. Yesterday, I joined state AGs in urging the Courts to block a Tennessee law - one of the most restrictive in the country - that would criminalize just that.

Nationwide organizing (like our work to help mobilize millions last weekend) takes a lot of resources, so our resistance grows bigger and better when you pitch in. Please consider a donation to build momentum and fuel our organizing during the congressional recess: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Vaccines do not cause children to have autism. Vaccines cause children to be able to grow up to be adults, because children can stay alive instead of die from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles. Also: autistic children are delightfully amazing and we love them. ❤️

Echoing points made by others today, in a country where getting an abortion or gender affirming care or protesting a genocide can be felonies, I am going to need everyone to stop talking about "the rule of law" and "innocent people" and "criminal records."

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.
