Senate Bill 1 has officially been signed into law. We remain steadfast in our commitment to First Amendment rights and stand prepared to enforce them. This legislation is unconstitutional and cannot stand. abc6onyourside.com/news/local/g...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Dean Treanor stands completely firm against Ed Martin, telling him the letter suggests a clearly unconstitutional act, and asks Martin to confirm he won't do said unconstitutional act (with the implied threat of a lawsuit should he not).

SB 1 / HB6 is a solution in search of a problem. There already is diversity of thought in higher ed. If this bill passes, there will be LESS diversity, not more. But then, that’s the point, isn’t it. Diversity as defined by white, male, republicans.

The richest man in the world is now more than a full month in to literally destroying the United States government without even a fig leaf of a legal justification for doing anything he's doing, and no one has stopped him.

Elon spent $290 million to buy the Presidency… … then fired the head of the ethics watchdog agency who investigates conflicts of interest … then fired federal workers … now is giving himself government contracts for federal agencies That’s not efficiency. It’s corruption.

Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."

VA official says it's "absolute chaos" there. Even Trump appointees are afraid to act out of fear of angering the public or the White House. "It's leading to paralysis. ... The best employees are starting to look elsewhere. I can't overemphasize that enough." www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Look, I WANT to support independent journalism. I absolutely do. But a model where I have to pay a subscription, even if small, to every individual journalist, across an array of platforms, is not the way.
