If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Seems accurate

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

Hungary: Mass protests against dictator Orban in Budapest. Orban shut down public transportation to prevent people from across the nation from gathering in the capital. "The spring is here. The spring of the Hungarians. And we, together will end Orban's winter!"

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

This guy, who became rich off tax money, is fine now, but thinks other peoples pain is funny and cool. Tax elon

Jared Golden is just Susan Collins with tinier balls.

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

If only Rubio would listen to Rubio 🙁 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGtcq5W...

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Whoever puts this on their list of five things they did this week should get the employee of the year award

Government spending is the reason you know who Elon Musk is. #WelfareQueen

“Audacious”? Truly disgusting.

I think @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just said, Democrats in Congress are trying to fix stupid. 😂 “Every rational thing the opposition is saying to Donald Trump and to Elon Musk is just bouncing off that solid wall of stupidity.” And we need to keep asking them—what are you going to do about it?!

Stop privately discussing it and fucking do it. www.axios.com/2025/02/04/s...

NPR should raise money by issuing Tiny Desk Concerts for sale digitally and on vinyl.

Trump fired 400 FAA senior officials, the TSA head & 3k air traffic controllers. Now there’s been a fatal accident. He was supposed to be updating the public but instead gave an incoherent, shameless rambling speech blaming DEI hires and politicised a tragedy. He truly is a despicable waste of piss

Excellent post

Who loves old school Instagram? Anybody down to start using Flickr again? #Instagram #boycottmeta #flickr

Meanwhile S Korea nips insurrection in the bud

I have been thinking about this alot. I live a good life & relatively don't "struggle", but I am raising two kids and still have to be mindful about saving $. What are the working & middle classes supposed to do? Use Wal-Mart? (1)

How is this not the biggest scandal in America right now? Isn’t this unprecedented?? Maybe Dems in the Senate should take a break from voting to confirm Trump nominees & condemn the guy who said he wanted Pelosi ‘hanged’ on Jan 6th, & also condemn the guy who just released him from prison! Sheesh.

The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy and puts the safety of every American at risk. This reckless move must be reversed, and my colleagues and I demand that he comply with the law, no excuses.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Incredible. Please watch and share.

Reminder that Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Google are each facing federal antitrust lawsuits. They each gave cash hand over fist to Trump’s inaugural fund, which raked in a record $250 million. When I say money in politics corrupts our system, this is what I’m talking about.

This Jan. 6 rioter, who was described by prosecutors as a "Nazi sympathizer" and who compared Orthodox Jews to a "plague of locusts,” has proudly posted his invitation to Trump’s inaugural ceremonies.
