BREAKING: ABC News announces they will NOT be renewing Terry Moran’s contract and with that I will NOT be watching ABC News ever again. I stand with Terry Moran 💙

trans men are men and trans women are women. They need to be normalized and all that means is to be accepted as members of society and allowed to live their lives in peace and safety. Is that too much to ask? If you're with me and you're willing, please repost this thank you.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Guess what Trump is lying. Again. #AbolishICE

"abolish ice" should be a standard position for anyone on the left, including politicians. you can't claim to be anti-fascist or pro-immigrant without demanding that the government's chief tool of anti-immigrant fascism be dismantled.

"What they want is for people to look at who's rich, who’s important & say, 'That’s just the way things are. That’s the way they're supposed to be.' They don’t want people looking back at the past & saying, “This is because of slavery or Jim Crow or because women were excluded from the workforce.'”

Trump clearly want to instigate catastrophic situations so he can declare martial law. Too many people talking about how he’s all over the Epstein list.

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him. THAT is a warrior.

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Y’all. This is what we’re up against. Suspicion of murder for a miscarriage. Interrogating women who have just lost a pregnancy. This is monstrous cruelty.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Amen

I haven't seen any other members of Congress taking about ICE (and whoever else is helping ICE) wearing masks and removing badges to hide their identity. Call your Rep &. Senators! Ask them to talk about why ICE / DHS are hiding their identities! 🚨(202) 224-3121

Yes. We must run Dem candidates in every race. Jess is absolutely correct.

It happens every few generations: It’s what drove Confederate oligarchs to attempt succession in the 1860s; robber barons to murder union organizers at the turn of the 20th century; and it’s why wages have stagnated since the Reagan revolution. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/f8tpkYv

What is a world when you steal healthcare from the most vulnerable among us to make the richest Americans even richer?

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

Class and dignity in everything.

We are in such a mess! Thanks for the update Sen Murphy!

Yes they are

Seems simple enough.

You think?

Medicaid is the glue that holds America together. It is the largest provider of health insurance in the United States. It’s essential for Americans with disabilities, pregnant mothers, 50-64 year olds, those suffering from addiction, rural hospitals, and our economy in general.

💥 Companies keeping DEI programs outperform stock market Over the past 6 months: companies "sticking by their DEI programs — including Costco, Levi Strauss, and Ulta Beauty — have posted stock gains." S&P 500 down 4.7% in the same period. www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/ar...

😢

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are. After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

I can’t wait for #caturday to post this. Ezzy in the tree. Watch to the end.

Trump wants to be the Pope, “reopen Alcatraz,” and is posing as a Sith Lord from Star Wars. Plus, he says kids should just have fewer toys because he’s crashing the economy. 1) Weird 2) Trumponomics sucks 3) Grinch behavior

I realized no one else is doing the work of speaking to mainly rural folks in the heartland. Call me the Temu AOC, but I think helping regular folks fight the oligarchy is worthwhile. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Trump & Musk spent millions trying to seize control of the WI Supreme Court On 4/1, WI voters rejected the Trump-Musk schemes 3+ weeks later, Trump had ICE arrest a WI judge Now they're threatening to arrest WI Governor Tony Evers First they came for... We are next apnews.com/article/wisc...
