I know I was late to the justice party…but disappearing people seems like the basic decency party

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

The Heritage Foundation has a DoGE survey out. We should definitely not take the survey that messes with their algorithm. secured.heritage.org/the-heritage...

Joe Harris, oldest WWII paratrooper who paved way for Black soldiers, has died. He was 108. The Compton resident was a member of the "Triple Nickles," a World War II combat-ready unit who trained as some of America's first "smokejumpers."

People: OMG! We had a massive turnout, and there were no police. Other People: Same in my city. It was so unexpected! Black People:

See how we don’t storm the capitol when we’re upset? Very demure. Very mindful. #HandsOff

NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled. Roberts and the three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

April Plank Challenge! Brought to you by @praxisyoga.bsky.social Day 1 is 20 seconds, pick the safest plank style and just start!

Unpopular opinion: I’ve signed a few of these open letters, but frankly, that is not enough. Faculty need to organize AND unionize. I began my #ProfessorLife in a union shop (Wayne State) & I’m now in AAUP-AFT’s at large chapter. Best time to unionize was yesterday. Second best is today.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Johns Hopkins tells faculty not to ‘intervene’ in potential ICE detainments on campus

Musk is trying to buy votes in Wisconsin. Resend this if you’re from Wisconsin and you’re not for sale.

A man slated for deportation has captured conditions inside the Krome Detention Center in Florida. He says some people have been confined like this for up to 30 days. At least three men have died at Krome in the past five months. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8248mFR/

Two special elections for congressional seats in Florida could change the balance in the House. Dems have raised a ton of $, but Repubs are still favored to win. Dems need to get EVERY REGISTERED DEM VOTER to the poll & every Republican voter concerned abt social Sec. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Shameful act by their admin that clearly fails to protect their faculty, students, and the importance of education.

There are scores of anti Trump/DOGE/Musk protests planned for April 5 handsoff2025.com

Incredibly shameful. I know it’s tough, but I think the long history will not look kindly on this.

The dems who voted for the CR still don’t get it. And @schumer.senate.gov , we don’t give a shit about your gym stories. You’re acting like everything is fine.

Musk staffers are joking about how upcoming Social Security changes will restrict access by requiring in-person visits while simultaneously shutting down offices. They are touting the cost savings from limiting access.

"Tesla has recalled every Cybertruck it has sold in the US after admitting that the glued-on panels on the unconventional pick-up truck have been falling off..." lol. lmao www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

DOGE's next kill: a program which maintains livable residences for low-income residents around the country.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Our latest: Senate Dems leaned on small donors last month with asks to "stop" Trump and Musk, spending up to $788k on ads on Meta alone. Then Schumer and others voted with Republicans on cloture, empowering the Trump admin in funding decisions.

TSA Says Its Credit Cards for Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Are Cut Off The statement follows an alleged internal email which said requests for dog food and vet visits had been put on hold.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Twice per day at various locations throughout this country (and the world), a meteorologist walks outside and let's go of a balloon with an instrument pack attached to it that radios back info it observed as it ascended. That info is mission critical to the success of our economy. 🧵

Miller and Homan must be so pleased with themselves. Fucking monsters: A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

@michaelbennet.bsky.social stay strong and vote no on reconciliation! This is the ‘do’ in DO SOMETHING.
