AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

For RFKjr to be in the position to be any kind of a decision maker for the healthcare for any human being is insanity. It's an ethical crime and a complete abdication of critical thinking.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

If you have ever wondered how the leaders of America’s most powerful institutions would react if a despot sought to seize power in the US and strip away our most basic freedoms while destroying our economy, national security and institutions…now you know. They’ll roll over and play dead.

The Republican assault on democracy is one of the worst crises in U.S. history. So why won’t the media say directly that Trump is trying to become a dictator? Why the soft, incremental coverage? It’s as if an asteroid hurtled toward Earth and the media focused on the process of naming the asteroid.

“The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.“ James Talarico

German businesses heard a similar pitch in 1940. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

To be clear, not a single Democrat voted for this.

In 3 months the US has been reduced to an authoritarian kleptocracy.

House Republicans just passed a sweeping anti-voting bill that historians are saying is the most anti-voting piece of legislation to come out of Congress in the nation's history. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/XS8aePRgFU4

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

People were informed about Trumps tariff announcement prior to his social media post or official announcement. This is a clear case of insider fraud and market manipulation.

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.

roberts and the rest of his crew of flunkies are such rigid and monomaniacal ideologues that they will happily destroy the country if it allows them to bring their twisted vision of the constitution into being

And no one in America doubts why he's doing this.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
