A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

If you thought Trump and his sycophants have forgotten about elections, you are wrong. The GOP voter suppression and election subversion war machine is already preparing for the next election.

For months, Trump’s border czar Tom Homan has baselessly claimed sex trafficking is up 600%. Media outlets, including CNN, have failed to fact-check him. But in today’s media swell, fact-checking is a responsibility—not a luxury. @joshlevs.bsky.social explains.

Sound up! 🔊 These extraordinary women, unceremoniously fired by DOGE, have bravely spoken out about the environment of chaos surrounding their agencies. In some cases, their own supervisors had no idea they’d been fired! Thank you, @perri4health.bsky.social, for sharing your niece, Sarah’s, story!

ICYMI: Yesterday (3/17) the Acting Chair of the EEOC sent threatening letters to 20 of the largest and most powerful law firms demanding “information about their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) related employment practices” to “root out discrimination.” www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeo...

What the hell kind of Stasi bullshit is this, FBI? Just following orders?

He is so f#cking delusional!

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

US Institute of Peace Says DOGE Has Broken Into Its Building

I was arrested in Washington DC on March 12. It was my first arrest and it only lasted a few hours. Guess they didn’t enjoy our sit in as much as we did. In the end Schumer caved and the bill passed. The further they go the less chance we have of saving our democracy!

I have been trying to contact ABC news to tell them I will no longer be watching their news programs. We need mass media to provide us with the truth, the whole truth. They are not providing enough information about the damage the current administration is causing. Bye bye ABC news!

This makes no sense!!! It makes traveling more dangerous!!

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Justice for Sonya Massey! Tell Congress to pass The People’s Response Act! QUICK SIGNATURE: action.momsrising.org/sign/2024PRA via @momsrising.org #youthandfamiliyjustice #PRA #policebrutality action.momsrising.org/sign/2024PRA...

Trump’s cabinet is made up of inexperienced, incompetent and unqualified buffoons. Meet Linda McMahon, a billionaire and professional wrestling promoter, serving as Secretary of Education. IDEA stands for ‘Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.’ This fucking clown doesn’t have a clue! 😡

@ppfa.org has compiled and saved web pages scrubbed from the CDC’s site due to Trump’s executive orders on removing any material relating to LGTBQ+ healthcare. Save this post or bookmark the link to keep this valuable library: www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/for-he...

"We had a federal government that was protecting us and now we simply do not." @mintimm.bsky.social discusses the crucial role of Democratic governors in protecting women's rights under the Trump administration.

Schumer said we had to keep the government open so Trump and Musk couldn’t shut down agencies

Collaborators with the fascists.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Let's be clear: Trump visiting the DOJ today is NOT NORMAL. He will use this time to threaten his enemies with deploying the DOJ against them and to declare that he is weaponizing the federal government against his opponents.

FLOOD THE LINES!!!

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

Apparently, you can't say or write "cancer moonshot" or "peanut allergy" without permission if you work at the National Cancer Institute. 🤷‍♂️ www.propublica.org/article/nati...

“This is going to be a massive loss of life overall,” a surgeon who formerly led USAID’s global health initiatives tells TNR. “Children are likely already dying, and will clearly be dying in large numbers.”

Tell Congress to reject the cuts to SNAP (food stamps) benefits that hardworking families rely on to put food on the table! via @momsrising.org QUICK SIGNATURE: action.momsrising.org/sign/reject-... Please join us so our children can be healthier. The wealthy already take too much from all of us!

🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying. WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

Trump’s false denial that he called Zelenskyy a dictator is a classic disinformation tactic. Deny even verifiable facts to cause public cynicism, disgust, and, ultimately, disengagement from politics.

Per @gregsargent.bsky.social: “You may have seen Elon tweeting that a contract for peanut/milk paste for starving kids has been restored. These contracts have NOT been restored.”

open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe... GOP goes lower than I ever thought possible!

The federal civilian worker payroll totaled $271 billion in 2022.  The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.  Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

🔥🔥Sen. Tammy Duckworth, during our Veterans Town Hall earlier today, said exactly what all of us are thinking: "Let's call this what it is. It's a middle finger to our heroes. It's a slap in the face to the sacrifices our Veterans have made."
