Thinks about this: Trump is more unpopular now than he was at this point in '17, and yet more institutions have bowed to him now, all based on myth of him having more popular support and a claimed "mandate." Time to wake the hell up. Columbia, the law firms, Newsom, etc., all miscalculated badly.

@santiagomayer.com Hey internet stranger, I just want to send you a shout out, from one struggling independent political/civics educator to another. If I had a job, I would donate to your organization. I see how hard you're working, and the vitriol you get for refusing to give up. Keep going.

On Thursday night, Senator Chris Murphy and Congressman Maxwell Frost went to GOP Congressman Rich Hudson’s district for a town hall and were met with a massive crowd of voters who are fired and up and ready for change.

Trump is terminating grants for a program that helps advocate for children who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. Is that the Republican Party's platform now? Abandon child victims of crime to make room to cut taxes for billionaires?

My T-Mobile bill was due last night, and I forgot to log in and pay it because I was dealing with a medical emergency. Woke up to FOUR TEXTS threatening to send me to fucking collections because my bill was 6 hours past due after being a customer for TEN YEARS. Y'all just fucking evil.

“She was scheduled to work 104 hours as part of a regular schedule that runs eight hours a day, Monday through Saturday. On top of that, she added 64 hours of overtime, including eight hours on Sunday, the paystub shows.” This article is infuriating

This is what fascism looks like: Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

I bought this “¡No pasarán!” shirt to support Pussy Riot in 2012, when government arrested and charged them with "hooliganism". I wore it during the last Trump Administration when I protested against infant deportations and child concentration camps. I wear it today bc this fight still matters.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

Scammers know people are vulnerable right now, and they’re exploiting that vulnerability with increasingly sophisticated tactics. Staying informed, cautious, and loud about what we see can protect others too.

This seems like a huge deal. F.B.I. Director Kash Patel said on Friday that agents had arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement.

Oh my gosh, folks. These ARE PARODY ACCOUNTS ran by someone as a parody. They say "parody" right in the names! Unfortunately, it gets cut off when sharing posts. Watching people fight with these accounts all day is frustrating; you're wasting your time! This isn’t Trump! Media literacy!!!!

As a ciswoman, I can't understand what it is to be trans but I can understand what it is like to be afraid of the violence of men, as a survivor of childhood and adult SA. Please know there are those of us who WILL fight and WILL put OUR lives on the line to protect you. Sisters, NOT cis-ters.

MAGA's new hobby online is bullying female survivors of breast cancer by claiming breast removal scars "prove they are trans". Imagine being so big of a worthless piece of human shit that you sit behind your keyboard and shit death threats out of your Godless mouth about breast cancer survivors.

Why would they offer support to survivors of sexual violence when it seems like the President, his Bankroll, and majority of his electorate are rapists.

Trump said no exceptions to his tariffs. Then, Apple CEO Tim Cook went to work “behind the scenes” — and poof, iPhone tariffs are cut. That looks like corruption, plain and simple. I’m pressing Trump officials — and Tim Cook himself — for answers. www.youtube.com/shorts/-RZH8...

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.
