Okay, this is weird. This is the third article this week about our trip cancellation, and I've heard it won't be the last. Not doing something is getting more attention than anything I've ever done. But sadly, as history has taught us, the dangers are something that need to be discussed!

It's Easter, which feels like a pretty good excuse to reshare the spring flower enamel pins badges I made. They're #SciArt that changes colour in the sunlight to reveal a rainbow of hidden colours!

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Donald Trump did

Yup. Silence is compliance.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Thankful SOMEBODY is finally doing something!

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

If you love your library, listen up…

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

LOL

it’s the 110th anniversary of Billie Holiday’s birth: April 7 1915. in Episode 28 of my Black Girl Songbook #podcast, i celebrate the influence of Holiday’s music as it shows up in artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Diana Ross, and more. listen in www.theringer.com/podcasts/bla...

Correct.

We fight to give hope — a reminder that there are still those within the government standing up for what’s right. Since Saturday, we’ve faced relentless attacks. We know there will be consequences for our actions, but we will not back down.

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

This would be hard to explain if you had a time machine to visit 2010

Loser List.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

Kamala Harris: There were many things that we knew would happen.. I’m not here to say I told you so

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

Again.

We are concerned about cuts to IMLS and other agencies as well who support archival and research content. Libraries provide important services to their communities present and archive our past.

A girl can dream @barackobama.bsky.social

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.
