When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So, the gov't's request for an extension of time in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case got bounced bc it was filed by someone not admitted. (This is the one where they sidelined the attorney who appeared at the prior hearing.) The 9:30am declaration remains overdue.

Echoing points made by others today, in a country where getting an abortion or gender affirming care or protesting a genocide can be felonies, I am going to need everyone to stop talking about "the rule of law" and "innocent people" and "criminal records."

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland. The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m. As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline. A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled. As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

With the help of four Democrats, House Republicans just voted to pass H.R. 22 — one of the biggest threats to voting rights that we’ve seen in a generation. If you’re represented by Reps. Case (HI-01), Cuellar (TX-28), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), or Golden (ME-02), they need to hear from you today.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Due process just means making you follow the rules and letting judges determine if you did. How is that bad? It’s literally part of why we rebelled against Great Britain.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.  Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.  Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

“Missouri's 15 protests took place at the State Capitol, county courthouses, churches, schools and along busy roadways.” The “red” states are filled with a diversity of folks from across the political spectrum, same as the “blue” states. Even in the rural counties. We are all in this together.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The president retweeted a post that said the market drop was part of a deliberate strategy. Is that the president's strategy? HASSETT: Heh ha. The bottom line is the president has been talking about tariffs for 40 years. He's allowed to have an opinion. S: So that is his strategy.

I had the honor of speaking at this event, but rallies were held all over the country. Some estimates say more than 3.5 million people protested today. People ask all the time, "where are the protests?" The answer: everywhere but your living room, so get off your ass and join the resistance.
