Disappearing mothers and toddlers, denying them access to lawyers, deporting them without due process - this is not what a democracy does to its citizens and families and to their kids.

Zeteo commissioned this poll from Data for Progress and it is pretty clear that the Democratic base prefers the progressive/leftist position on every issue from Israel-Palestine to healthcare to even immigration. Full poll results and analysis: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.

Starting to think that the SC ruling "Mango mobster can do whatever he likes, no matter how criminal or deplorable, he can have someone murdered or assassinated at his whim, he can steal from the Treasury, pillage the country, he is above every law of the USA"....might have been bad. Just saying.

What happened today with Abrego Garcia is a call out to all of us to continue pushing to take back our country. We do not have to concede defeat. We have to play to win. We have to fight to win.

Make sure that if you’re able you join @50501movement.bsky.social on Saturday. @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social gang, encourage friends and family to attend. Volunteering, community clean up, or generating as many post cards as possible to Congress is also an option. #handsoff #50501movement

There's a world where Dems won the House 218-217 in November and Rs now have a working majority bc Grijalva and Turner died. Sorry to be unsentimental but I just don't respect people who run for office in their 70s after cancer diagnoses. Move on. Spend time with your family.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town. I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Senator Booker is about to read The Unknown Soldier, and he's getting choked up. And so am I. This comes during a discussion about Trump and Musk GUTTING the Department of Veterans Affairs. He will break the Senate speech record in three hours and 20 minutes.

Important, on #signalgate. People need to stop misspelling Waltz as Walz.

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

West Bank settler extremists deserve to be seen as the Jewish equivalent of the KKK in the post-Reconstruction US South: Violent extremists acting officially independently of the state, but with tacit state support, knowing they will not be punished. If you reject that comparison, ask yourself why.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Dear Chuck, shut the f*ck up and vote NO, that is the assignment.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

A thing that I think is passing a lot of people by is that Columbia is a place where there is a *lot* of Jewish life, progressive and otherwise, and calling the place "antisemitic" is another way of saying that progressive Jews are the real fascists, which I think is just despicable.

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.
