The hate required to craft this bill is astonishing. Missouri Republicans want to pay people $1K to turn in “suspected” undocumented immigrants—creating an army of bounty hunters. Not just licensed bond agents, but anyone can participate. Racial profiling run amok. This is state-sanctioned hate.

Over the past five years, Washington, D.C.'s iconic Black Lives Matter street painting has served as a powerful symbol of activism and a gathering place for joy and resistance.

Democrats can’t shut down the government. They don’t have the votes to do that. If the government shuts down, it will be because Republicans didn’t vote the way Trump wanted them to.

Fort Lauderdale resists Elon & Frump every Saturday. Today over 300 showed up and even the local news channel came out #TeslaTakedown.

It never ceases to amaze me how police always manage to take armed white boys into custody alive, but unarmed black men end up dead. All of the officers who stood by while Chauvin knelt on George Floyd's neck until he was dead, are as guilty as he is. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

They made a homophobic, anti-mask, misogynist the face of their company and then act like victims when decent people decided not to buy their vetbro beer. The punchline: the CEO of Armed Forces Brewing never served. It’s a marketing ploy. $300K from Youngkin wasted. www.whro.org/business-gro...

NBC: The Trump administration may start sharing confidential data with Russia. This is what US allies fear. May start? #ProudBlue #TrumpIsARussianAsset #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpIsANationalDisgrace #PutinOwnsTrump

You need to talk to the people in your life about what LLMs can and cannot do.

We must resist the learned helplessness of judicial supremacy—the notion that the Supreme Court, not the American people and their elected leaders, has the final word on constitutional meaning. Some ideas for how to do this in my latest at Weekend Reading: www.weekendreading.net/p/the-courts...

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

ICYMI: Trump has dropped investigations and enforcement actions against 89 lawbreaking corporations, including: -42 cases at the CFPB -15 cases at the DOJ -6 cases at the EEOC -7 crypto cases at the SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Happy Women's Day to all women in our resistance community! We honor all women who came before us, fought courageously for equal rights, and stood up against misogyny and the patriarchy. Know your power and stand in it as we continue the fight to preserve our fundamental rights and freedoms.

Trump's golf course in Turnberry, Scotland was redecorated by anti genocide protestors. #FreePalestine #EndImpunity

Thanks to President Biden, Trump inherited a strong, “envy of the world” economy. And, as we all know, Trump is very good at squandering an inheritance.

Breaking news: The Department of Health and Human Services has granted associates of the U.S. DOGE Service access to a sensitive child support database with troves of income data, overriding the objections of career employees.

Women's rights are human rights. They aren't negotiable on International Women's Day or any day. Here in Illinois, we celebrate the contributions of the incredible women in Illinois' history and honor them by continuing to push our state forward.

That is exactly true.

Continuing theme of dealing with MAGA: some ARE now waking up.We need to encourage them. It is a REAL, true cult & they're indoctrinated. It doesn't mean forgiving. Just use diplomacy. Berating them is not a winning strategy. Remember, our goal is that they leave MAGA. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Apparently, one way or another, the gqp wants to kill public education. When they talk about merit, the only merit you need is $$$. #ProtectOurPublicSchools #USDemocray #DemVoice1 Gifted article wapo.st/4icgl0j Call Congress. Tell them #HandsOffOurSchools

Amid deadly outbreaks of measles in the United States, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is happily harkening back to the days when “measles parties” were a thing: “They used to have measles parties, basically get all the kids together so they all catch it and develop immunity,” Greene declared on…

This is some excellent good trouble

Per @steveinskeep.bsky.social: “Here The NY Times identifies words the Trump administration erased or discouraged in federal websites and documents, along with many of the ideas that the words express.”

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

A bill that would ban pride flags from Utah schools and on government property throughout the state has passed both chambers of the Utah Legislature and now awaits approval or veto by the governor.

There's one thing teachers from around Illinois cite as an impediment to classroom learning: cell phones.  That's why this session, I'm moving forward with legislation requiring all our school districts to adopt a cell phone policy that bans their usage during in the classroom.

If your descendants get to live in a free country, it will be because enough of us fought against Republican fascism in the year 2025. If your descendants end up imprisoned in a dictatorship, it will mean too few of us did.

There are a bunch of great Resisters in this Starter Pack that are now focusing on being the opposition to the current administration. You are going to want to smash that follow all button you want these folks on your side. Let's go cause some good trouble. go.bsky.app/CTQjcu4

Spotted somewhere in Calgary, Canada. “There is no enemy like a friend betrayed”

What Putin would do. "Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations" [Finer point: Yes, this appears to be part of a broader effort that sweeps in Ukrainians, but it would be simple to make an exception/keep their temporary protected status.]

Just a couple of sociopaths justifying their cruelty.

Trump threatens DC homeless population

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

😜😜😜

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

Seen yesterday on a public bus in Heidelberg, Germany.

If a Supreme Court Justice dies or retires over the next four years (likely), Trump will nominate an absolute clown cultist to SCOTUS. And if the GOP has the Senate Majority, they will let it happen without question.
