One more time – a little louder – If the White House is looking to establish peace between Russia and Ukraine – Tell Russia to get out of Ukraine. When Russia leaves there’s instant peace. See how easy that is?

This, right here..

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

In the late 1940s into the 1950s, the US sought to ideologically deport individuals, including those who had lived in the US for most of their lives. "Should Miss Liberty Be Deported?" is a pamphlet in 1950 calling on the public to help challenge these deportations. Ch. 5 in "Threat of Dissent" 🗃️

✅ Reduce Staff ✅ Reduce Office Space ✅ Require Both for Clients ⁉️ Claim System Broken ⁉️ Dismantle System Yet, apparently, my senators do nothing to prevent it. @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov What’s the plan? It’s our money! 💰

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

For the fourth day in a row (at least), Trump has refused to comply with multiple court orders and refused even to answer questions in federal court about why he is violating them. It is no understatement to say we are facing a constitutional crisis.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

popular.info/p/are-the-pe... That's the problem, we don't know. Trump is desperate to get more migrants detained especially for a big moment on Fox News. That's why there's due process, which these people with TATTOOS didn't get.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸

“If anyone is being detained or removed based on the administration’s assertion that it can do so without judicial review or due process, the president is asserting dictatorial power and ‘constitutional crisis’ doesn’t capture the gravity of the situation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u... Wow.

Hey, this can happen here 👀 What will you do today to save our Republic? Looking at you @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. What will you do?

MAGA rubes who are all about freedom and arming themselves against tyranny are celebrating a President being able to kidnap, detain, and deport individuals without due process. A cult is a helluva drug.

“This is getting real scary.” 👏 I’m also scared about ICE and the now plausible possibility that any of us could disappear without due process because of some thugs. And, my senators are doing little about it @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov

“If it continues like this, democracy [there] will not last another six months." 🚨 @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov What did you do today to save the Republic?

"If it continues like this, the United States will not score as a democracy when we release [next year's] data," said Staffan Lindberg, head of the Varieties of Democracy project, run out of Sweden's University of Gothenburg. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

What will you do today to save the Republic? 👀 Looking at my senators, hometown mayor Pete, and rock-star governor. What’s the plan? @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov @petebuttigieg.bsky.social #BigGretch

“America is in a race between Trump’s attempt to tear down the government and rule of law and the Democrats’ attempt to make Trump so unpopular that other institutions are capable of resisting him. Yet I fear only the Trumpists recognize they are in this race.” www.thebulwark.com/p/hey-democr...

Rachel Maddow reported on huge anti government protests in Eastern Europe against pro-Putin governments. The largest one was in Serbia where 325,000 protested. The prediction is that the protest in Serbia will bring down the government.

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory Myrlie Evers-Williams was born on this day in 1933 in Vicksburg, Miss. She is best known for working more than three decades to seek justice for the 1963 murder of her husband Medgar Evers. At 92, she is still fighting for civil rights. /1

I was online all weekend. I only just learned of the storm that hit the south and left over 40 dead. That’s the power of flooding the zone with chaos. There aren’t enough deep breaths for this shit every day.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

I'm just saying..

Leftists vs Liberals vs Dems. This is what this is about. Everyone needs to stop fighting with each other and, URGENTLY, recognize the enemy. A fractured opposition is a dead opposition. We all need to get very serious now.

Republicans Take an Axe to Programs for Children and Farmers

My 88 year old mother just told me: "We need a strong group of Dems to organize us to help "take down" Trump and Musk and save our democracy. I will stay alive until both of these assholes are locked up for being traitors." P.S. That's my mom on the bottom right -- the other two are the assholes!

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

Does anyone here have it figured out, yet?

“Trump did not declare the end of judicial authority in a speech. He demonstrated it in practice. This is how democratic systems collapse—not with a single act, but with the normalization of defiance, the expectation that a ruling can simply be brushed aside.”

I can attest. I've had delicious hamburgers in Mexico.

Republicans Hate Dogs

Hey @mcuban.bsky.social. You asked for local news. Our Representative in MI-01 is outright saying the opposition is fake and part of a global conspiracy. All these groups did was invite him to a town hall. Bergman is the worst. www.traverseticker.com/news/local-i...

Veteran Who Ripped GOP Rep At Town Hall Defends 'Necessary' Act: They 'Aren't Serving Us.’ Jay Carey, who served over 20 years in the U.S. Army, said he feels like the "days of being cordial and respectful are over" because "we’re not being respected." #MomSky apple.news/ARzI_3HSyQoW...

Celebrity worship has got to end. Worship dogs, they never disappoint and we don't even deserve them.
