Amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity and equity efforts and a torrent of legislative attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, Pride organizers around the nation are facing a decline in sponsorships and visible corporate support: cnn.it/4hMRorj

In his boldest comments yet, the president told NBC News' Kristen Welker that he's been presented with "methods" to bypass the 22nd Amendment.

Lawful permanent residents fear they are not immune from President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

NEW VIDEO: New York Congressman Dan Goldman and I discuss President Trump’s growing threats to the federal judiciary and the rule of law, the politicization of the Justice Department and the president’s latest election executive order. Watch and share! youtu.be/mn2n3BWu31g

BREAKING: We, @aclu.org and CLEAR are joining Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team after ICE unlawfully arrested and detained her in retaliation for her political speech. Speaking out against a war, a policy, or a government is not a crime. The government must immediately release Ms. Öztürk.

A real American hero!💙🌊👇

Not a lot of talk about this one, so please help get the word out. Last week the Trump regime ended funding for legal representation for 26,000 migrant children who will now be forced to defend themselves alone against government attorneys in immigration courts. It's fucking monstrous! 😠

This is so true!

No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you should be appalled that a billionaire thinks he has the right to buy elections like this.

Trump has set up an “electronic mailbox” for corporations to ask him for exemptions to the Clean Air Act. The exemptions would allow companies to pollute the air with mercury, which can cause brain damage and birth defects.

A little context: In 1917 USA traded Greenland & $$$ for the US Virgin Islands-St. Croix, St. John & St. Thomas-under the logic that USVI were good for post-WWI US Naval security. 47 is a typical US president seeking to violate the terms of a treaty over stolen land en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_...

Buying votes.

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

workshopping how you’ll start a war in a groupchat is insane. accidently adding a reporter and no one noticing it at all is even more insane i can’t even believe this happened lol

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we, the American people, demand you stand with Senate Dems voting NO on the CR & Cloture. NO blank checks for Trump & Musk. NO gutting funds that help families eat while billionaires cheat the system. Stand up for us! Hold the damn line!

I'm going to be watching to see what Dems vote yes on the CR bill. So far I've shown incentive support, donating to those like Max Frost and AOC who've been rabble rousing, but I can also be calling out collaborators.

We recently re-introduced the PRO Act—one of the strongest bills to protect workers’ rights in generations. Proud to co-sponsor this bill and stand with the workers who keep RI running. Stronger unions mean better pay, better benefits, and safer workplaces. Let’s get it done.

❤️‍🩹 @timothysnyder.bsky.social and @sierakowski.bsky.social have raised $1,200,000+ towards ~4 armored evacuation vehicles. Together, we continue raising funds towards UNITED24’s Medical Aid program to help Ukrainian medics. Thank you to everyone who joins in: donorbox.org/support-ukra...

KEEP CALLING! It’s working. Anyone can call Schumer BTW. Tell the dems to vote no on the Repub “continuing resolution”. Republicans own the White House, senate, and Congress. If they can’t negotiate a CR, let alone a budget, this is their shutdown. 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump advisor, Robert Morris, was just indicted for raping a 12 year old girl.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Klein. In 2006, Mark showed up at EFF’s front door with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?” We did. And what Mark told us changed everything.

🤣🤣🤣

Protesters at the New York State Capitol chant "no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here" to "border czar" Tom Homan. Love this for him. 🍿
