Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

We are literally living in the Upside Down

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

We are not safe

Right on cue…

This didn’t age well

I’m shocked

Don’t drink and text.

Horrifying

(1,4) In honor of Senator Cornyn pimping a book for Trump, let's focus on books and messages that will help in this time. Below is the final paragraph from my book Find The Helpers.

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Be like Tina.

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Full stop

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.

Evil doesn’t even begin to describe this. Pay attention

Do they even hear themselves?

Sanders: We are not a poor country! There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get. This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively. I will repeat the facts once more: Russia is a terrorist state. Putin is a war criminal

It only took two months.

You can’t hold the armed forces together this way. Or the country.

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

Police are investigating a report of fake ICE agents targeting a Ukrainian grocery store. An SUV with an “ICE” decal circled Sunday—then bolted when security showed up. These impostors are appearing nationwide,, preying on people already living in fear— in the shadows. It’s calculated and cruel.

Same.

Amen!

The prison guards in El Salvador must have a reason for hiding their identities: They are up to no good. And the United States is complicit in their abuse.

Seriously, WTH

I smell waste, fraud, and abuse🤨

Yep

Remember when the Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala Harris

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed. The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that. So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

FFS

Most media is CORRUPT!!
