I love this city so much. LA you are brave and strong.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

While families are working hard to make ends meet, Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to jam through tax giveaways for the richest Americans—millionaires and billionaires who are getting richer by the day. Billionaires don’t need another break—working people do.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

This is not normal.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

Even though they were not who they were looking for and are US citizens, they terrorized this family, smashed their home and stole all their money. They left with no point of contact to complain or retrieve the valuables they took as 'evidence'. They're thugs & thieves and must be held accountable.

Love this and second it...now you have two signatures if you need them!

Thank you, Canada!

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Keep holding people accountable! Don’t despair, keep fighting for justice. It’s worth it.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Morning shake. #earthquake

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

We really really have to do this.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov! This is the energy we need! www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

It is catchy...Tesla in Distressla!

Someone needs to invent a pharmaceutical drug that treats greed, which I consider to be a mental illness. Prove God wrong.

Adding to this list that our democracy is in crisis as are US civil liberties and human rights. Also we have turned all our closest allies against us. Winning.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

True.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I won’t vote to give tax breaks to billionaires.

If it walks like a 🐓and talks like a 🐓…

All together now!! Don't buy stuff tomorrow!

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

They are not playing by the rules. We have to stop responding as if they will.

I love this neighborhood.

My mom was the school nurse for many years at a very crunchy school. In the 90's when that dr falsely linked vaccines to autism, a large group of the parents decided not to vaccinate their children. Guess what-they had a whooping cough outbreak. This will 100% kill people. It is maddening.

He stands to personally gain nothing. #NewYorkerCartoons #CookieMonster source: https://www.instagram.com/p/DGBJmewMWI2/?igsh=MW1lYWN2aWRmZzJr

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.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

I found this hopeful. Remember just because he claims to have the power to do something, doesn't mean he does. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.
