🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI. Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

For our friends in 🇨🇦 facing what could be the most consequential election of their lifelime- learn from US and save your nation from the redtide that has infected US 💙 vote and vote smart💙

Gotta love those crazy socialist ideas!

A president who doesn't care about the Constitution. An attorney general with no regard for the Law, An FBI unconcerned with civil rights... What could go wrong?

If they were arresting judges in another country with an authoritarian-inclined (even if democratically elected) government, we'd be alarmed. We in the U.S. should be alarmed.

BREAKING!!! THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT Illinois Governor JB Pritzker just announced that he's launching a boycott of El Salvador because of their cooperation with Trump's deportation policies. The boycott includes: đź§µ

The FBI is arresting judges. We just blew through Constitutional Crisis and into fascism.

BREAKING: The constitutional crisis has arrived. We knew it was coming, just not when.

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond? By garnishing their wages. When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond? By extending their tax cuts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This eugenics-language focused registry of entire groups with disabilities is terrifying.

ABC let Trump’s border czar lie on air. Again. As Josh Levs explains, “When networks know guests will lie—and air them anyway—that’s a failure.”

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

While Kilmar Abrego Garcia is at the forefront, we must also remember others unjustly deported. Frengel Reyes Mota, a 24-year-old father with no criminal record, was sent to a torture prison in El Salvador with no removal order. He deserves to be remembered. Please share his story.

The mass deportations are not only destroying the lives of the numerous men we hear about, but also of women and children. This whole situation is horrifying. "CECOT is the face of this crisis. But it’s not the only face. It’s not the whole story."

Stand up, fight back. The longer we wait, the harder this gets. Let's keep building toward that general strike @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

Day 138. New, free & fair Parliamentary elections, and the release of the regime prisoners. We cannot stop in our national freedom struggle. Help us avoid costs by targeted sanctions, no handshakes with the regims, and calls for new elections. #GeorgiaProtests đź“· Giorgi Burjanadze

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (sound) #MomSky DAY 20 APRIL. 2025 "IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL" It's happening every day Attacking Immigrants Attacking Our Universities & Dept of Education Attacking Independent Journalism I AM SO THANKFUL FOR YOU, WHO PROTESTS FOR RAISING YOUR VOICES KEEP FIGHTING

MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just told Call to Activism exclusively that she’s calling for a formal investigation into “insider trading” among Trump’s friends: "Did Trump or those with inside knowledge help wealthy investors cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?"

Can we please not forget that ALL the people sent to the El Salvadoran prison deserve due fucking process? ALL of them. Every single one of them.

What kind of retaliation do Republicans need to grasp that it is not too late to speak out against the party of thugs they empowered--until they can't speak at all? "Four death threats... because you're not supporting Jim Jordan?" -Kristen Welker "That's right." -Former GOP congressman Ken Buck

If your senator is breaking filibuster records, flying to El Salvador in defense of their constituents, or putting holds on every damned Trump nominee, celebrate them now. Show them they have support. If your senator isn't doing any of that - ask them why not.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

In our rapidly deteriorating Republic, brace yourselves: as of today, simply existing could land you in a Mega-prison in El Salvador—no crimes required! The chilling reality of freedom slips further away. #WakeUpCall apple.news/A5hhqbIGeRTW...

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

If we are serious about opposing fascism is the US, then we must all do our homework about Christian Nationalism URGENTLY

Women want reproductive rights. Not a penis to space for 11 minutes.

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

boston globe editorial board: harvard is making the right decision, and universities should band together to fight. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/o...

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Just so it’s clear, there’s now a precedent for a Democratic President to ship the orange felon and his disgusting corrupt immoral acolytes to any prison in South/Central America and they can disappear without a trace as we all rejoice without giving a single fuck.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Once again sharing this info. Please share with your friends and loved ones in the National Guard or active duty military.

There we go. Support this man.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.
