“Unless we tell them prices are high, no one will notice” is the same limousine energy that got us into the current mess. People notice the price of gas. It’s the disappearances to foreign work camps that need flagging.

Is... is he trying to suggest that this some new scoop? No one has ever claimed they were his biological children, they've been described as step-children the entire time.

4/22 - Phone Bank to Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia Home! www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

My sister informed me that yesterday it was Ezra Klein warning that "the crisis is here" and today it's the Pod Bros. Now that these white men are saying it, I guess it must be true.

Residents of the mostly Black communities in Louisiana’s ‘Cancer Alley' have said they get most of the pollution but few of the jobs from the local petrochemical industry. A new study backs them up: grist.org/equity/in-lo...

Hey y'all! As Georgia state reps we don't get staff. Everything you see us do is usually ourselves or we fundraise to get some support both during and outside of session. I know things are crazy, but if you're able, please chip in what you can so I can keep my office staffed!

At the mouth of Olvera Street, the Hernandez family's La Carreta photo op stall is still here, with a pending court date to challenge the City's eviction attempt. Generational legacy vendors are core to the landmark's success; we stand with the donkey! laist.com/news/olvera-...

My "let's impeach the President" flyer has people raising a lot of complaints already answered by my "let's impeach the President" flyer.

1/2 Hey SoCal! There are a few major demo/mutual aid fairs happening Saturday 4/19—let’s focus our energy on these big ones and show up strong! Drop any I missed. We got Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, LA, Redlands…..

this is why we need to bankrupt Tesla ASAP, there's a limited window where Musk is totally dependent on Tesla for cash, and we need to take it down before he's able to replace it with this steaming pile of corruption #TeslaTakedown

So Politico IL just casually amplified a J6er. Cool 😎

When “free speech” becomes a weapon, sexual freedom is often the first casualty. Save your spot for an expert-led Zoom event on April 24 exploring the erosion of human and #sexualrights under current US executive orders. Hosted by @woodhullfreedom.bsky.social: www.eventbrite.com/e/weaponizin...

The court’s ruling sends a clear message: no one can bypass the law to raid government data systems for their own purposes. This is relief for the millions of people who depend on the Social Security Administration to safeguard their most personal and sensitive information.

Grok has caused a 60% increase in air pollution in Memphis in the past 10 months

Head Start, an early childhood education program for low income families, is on the chopping block. Growing up, my own mom was an aide with the program; it’s helped countless young mothers, including the one who tells her story here. www.kqed.org/news/1203596...

Yes, this is an opportunity for Dems to absolutely drill down. 71% of people find it unacceptable to deport people in the US legally.

I got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell him.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations. Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

In this Teen Vogue Take, news & politics editor @leximcmenamin.com analyzes the April 17 Florida State University shooting and the politics of the alleged gunman. Read more here ⤵️

Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze. I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies. Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.

Observe that the one that complied and the one that didn't comply are treated exactly the same way.

Re: everyone's new favorite senator.

I pushed the Biden Administration as relentlessly as I knew how— they were always worried about losing Republicans when it came to COVID. Little did they know that Donald J Trump personally secreted SARS-CoV-2 out of lab containment (pictured here), cemeting MAGA as beyond the reach of reason

I wrote something you can point to whenever someone tries to bludgeon you will issue polling

BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit denies DOJ's request to allow the Trump admin to end protected status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S. while litigation continues. A district court had blocked the administration's effort to end the relevant TPS action in a stark opinion in March.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

The president can already deport members of violent criminal gangs without the Alien Enemies Act. "All it does is virtually guarantee that innocent people will also be deported," @lizagoitein.bsky.social tells C-SPAN.

Been thinking a lot about my family. I got married when I was 28. My mom got married when she was 19. My grandma - 17 (they lied about her age and, allegedly my mom was born “3 months premature,” too). My great grandma? Just 15. I was the first to not teen marry. The first to go straight to college.

Trump has pretty good instincts about when he's going to be in trouble, politically or otherwise, so him explicitly giving himself plausible deniability now in his statements should be interpreted as an acknowledgment that he sees some danger in the policy in general & re Abrego Garcia specifically

For those unfamiliar with the trucking industry: 80 blank sailings means, give or take, about 1,000,000 cargo containers that had been scheduled and booked for delivery which just disappeared.

Marco Rubio told the Parkland survivors to their face, on a stage, that he would continue to support school shootings and every Democrat in the Senate voted to confirm him for secretary of state because they care about being friends with him above anything else

NEW: In a landmark ruling, Michigan's supreme court has struck down mandatory life without parole sentences for youth up to age 21. What this means: Nearly 600 Michiganders who expected to die in prison will now get a shot at a different outcome. I took a few days to write about what's next:

Last December, Chris Van Hollen wrote an op ed entitled "History will judge Biden harshly on Gaza" in which he -Called for Smotrich and Ben Gvir to be sanctioned -For US and international law to be enforced and for an arms embargo -For a total embargo on settler goods -For recognition of Palestine

Just in time inventory means that those containers *were* the inventory expected to be on the shelf tomorrow, next week, etc. Unlike with the great depression, stores don't have months and years of stock sitting there, the supply shortage *and* tariff price increase hit just in time as well.

A Georgia mother was forcibly removed from a school board meeting Tuesday night after saying just one word out of turn.

Having to disprove that you are not administratively dead is the stuff of dystopian fiction

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley demand the State Department release an internal memo showing they had no evidence Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization." + Any other docs related to her arrest.

This is #Solidarity‼️ ✊ Come out to show yours at an action this weekend in DC, NYC, Philly and other cities across the country 📍https://www.mobilize.us/nteu/

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”

I really love how effective blocking here.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can’t move forward with firing hundreds of workers.

There is one remedy for tyranny built into our Constitution: impeachment.

I’m hearing a lot of people describe Trump actions as what one friend calls “flailing flex.” But this critique comes from cult of competence, cousin to myth of meritocracy. Fascism proclaims efficiency but Trump’s method is “flail til the other guy fails.” It’s their ethos…

Uhhhhhhhhhh idk gang but an Indiana house resolution "recognizing the importance of repentance" & acknowledging "the need for divine providence, choosing to humbly submit its ways to the Lord, Jesus Christ" gives me a real bad feeling in my belly fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/...
