Lauren Miller, who was a plaintiff in the lawsuit over SB8, testified against SB31 in the TX Senate last week. We should be listening to women and the advocates who work so hard to help women. Please contact your legislators. #txlege

People are DMing me on Twitter in response to the absolute decimation of Alabama’s CDC funding. $140 MILLION cut overnight and effective immediately. I feel so bad for those people

The more things change...

Bill giving immigrants without legal status 72 hours to leave Tennessee advances in House tennesseelookout.com/2025/03/26/bil… The first offense would be a misdemeanor, but would rise to a felony if someone is charged a second or subsequent time.

The people in power want to destroy all that Frances Perkins was able to accomplish for millions back in the 20s & 30s & tens of millions since. Worker safety, SSA, unemployment ins, labor laws & more are threatened today. Never forget the Triangle Shirtwaist fire 147. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

On this day in 1911,146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

114 years ago, a fire broke out at the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist factory in NYC and killed 146 workers, mostly young women. They were trapped inside because the owners locked the fire escape exit doors.

If “every single one was here illegally,” why not give them due process and prove that? Why sing the alien enemies invocation in the dark of night and then rush people on to planes and defy a court order to turn them around?

🔔 Heads up— 2 House Ed Committees this week, 1 Tuesday 1 Wednesday Lamberth’s bill to block undocumented kids from schools is the ONLY bill Weds, but we would not put it past Sexton & Republicans to spring it Tues to duck protests 🦆 More: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Undocumented immigrants pay nearly $100B in taxes and receive no benefits or representation. Trump is about to explode the deficit by using the SSA to find and deport them. www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/20...

"Give the power to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1850s -- and the pro-segregation argument in the 1950s.

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

My GOD Why isn’t mainstream media screaming this from the rooftops?

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Orwell, 1984

❤️‍🩹 @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @sierakowski.bsky.social have raised $1,200,000+ towards ~4 armored evacuation vehicles. Together, we continue raising funds towards UNITED24’s Medical Aid program to help Ukrainian medics. Thank you to everyone who joins in: donorbox.org/support-ukra...

Just a friendly reminder that while voters won't have another chance to remove Schumer until 2028, the Dem senators can remove him at any time if they just get together. He may be able to stay in the senate, but he doesn't have to remain leader. It's time for something new.

Chuck Schumer needs to go home and play with his grandchildren. Let someone who has the stomach to do negotiation take over the Minority Leader position. We need someone with a spine and some steel gonads. - Elizabeth Warren?

For anyone who thinks it won't happen to you because you dont have brown or black skin. you might want think again. vancouversun.com/news/bc-woma...

My latest at Joy's House on Substack: What are we becoming? www.joyannreid.com/p/the-daily-...

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history. Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30. It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety. This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Al Green and Jasmine Crockett are my leaders.
