It’s time to put EVERYTHING on the line. Trump’s bill is an apocalyptic nightmare and includes provisions transferring MORE power from the courts to the executive branch. This cannot pass. Use your bodies to block the entrances to the chamber if you have to. @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking it. . . If septuagenarians would retire from Congress, the “big, beautiful bill” of death wouldn’t have passed. And why aren’t replacements / proxies appointed immediately?

1 of 2 Republicans who opposed the bill described it well, “We’re not rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic tonight. We’re putting coal in the boiler and setting a course for the iceberg.”

“There’s no doubt it’s a heavy-duty vehicle that can take some punishment, even from small arms fire, but you can’t weigh the pros without also asking: ‘Are people shooting at me because they think I’m an idiot or a bad guy?” 😆

Fascism : Baraka was with protestors on the public side of the gate, “I’m not on their property. They can’t come out on the street and arrest me,” Baraka said. Minutes later several Ice agents, some wearing face coverings, surrounded him and dragged him back through the security gate in handcuffs.

Golly, I wish I could be heartened by this polling. But the fact 4 in 10 Americans still generally approve of Trump is fucking harrowing.

I guess @kenmartin.bsky.social is determined to prove the DNC hasn’t learned anything. As if the DNC was ever neutral in primaries, between progressive challengers & centrist incumbents / dynasty candidates. Just ask @sanders.senate.gov supporters. Hogg deserves more confidence than the DNC.

Yes, more of this! Elected reps fighting for constituents’ Justice. Joining LA Rep. Troy Carter, U.S. Rep @benniethompson.bsky.social , three Democratic lawmakers from Massachusetts — Sen. Edward J. Markey, Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Rep. Jim McGovern — where Öztürk lives. ✊🏼♥️

I’m very pleased that the presidents of colleges I attended signed on to the letter defending academic independence and integrity against the Trump administration’s fascism ✊🏼Evergreen State college in WA, The New School in NYC, and Skidmore College in NY (where I just did a summer program).✊🏼

This is gonna hurt a lot of Americans. Only 40% of borrowers are current with their repayments. Lots are about to lose their tax returns, see their credit scores plummet, and then have their wages garnished. All while prices sore, and layoffs abound.

Clear message here: unions that fight for our rights will be punished. Those that obey in advance can keep their collective bargaining contracts (for now).

This nice lawyer generously believes the letter was not meant for her but for one of her clients. If I were her, I'd be moving my money into a foreign bank account and buying a one-way plane ticket to somewhere nicer than that Salvadorian prison.

This is just insane. If this doesn’t make your blood boil and your stomach churn, you need a psychiatrist, and possibly meds and a padded room.

The overlap of fascist & stupid in the ven diagram of the Trump administration grows. A week before taxes are due, a new requirement under which taxpayer data be provided to federal immigration authorities to help them locate migrants causes a mass exodus of IRS leadership — cause it’s illegal.

Holy shit. The senate Dems DID something real, and got four R’s to join them, “Democrats used a procedural maneuver to force a vote on the resolution, which would terminate the national emergency on fentanyl Trump is using to justify tariffs on Canada.” 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇦

Knock on wood & don’t hold your breath, but it looks like the senate might stand up to Trump on SOMETHING. Would those four R’s vote against Trump if Booker hadn’t done what he did? If Crawford hadn’t won in WI last night? Don’t know, don’t really care, but I want more.

I was skeptical about the seriousness of Booker's action today. I watched the last hour or so. I stand corrected. That was pretty incredible. MORE. OF. THIS. ✊

I’m 💯 percent in support of this tactic, but why didn’t Booker or other senators use it to disrupt the actual business of the Republicans’ heinous agenda? Doing it afterwards looks more like a stunt.

This is an nightmare, an abomination, “Trump-administration attorneys told the court to dismiss the request [to return the Maryland father, Abregi Garcia] on multiple grounds, including that Trump’s “primacy in foreign affairs” outweighs the interests of Abrego Garcia and his family.”
