A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

“Under the Biden administration, ICE primarily focused on detaining public safety & nat’l security threats. As long as they did not have criminal records, Cubans with I-220As were not taken into custody. That appears to have changed” www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

"Living in lazy luxury, Howard Lutnick cannot understand what missing a single Social Security check means for millions of Americans: They can’t eat, they can’t pay their rent, they can’t live." - @alaw202.bsky.social As someone on SSDI and a fixed income I wholeheartedly agree with this 1000%! 👏👏

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

I've been at DOJ for so many important speeches & presentations. Today, my heart is filled with sadness for my former colleagues & our country as a convicted felon who doesn't understand justice or the meaning of the rule of law & why both are essential to our democracy stands there.

More than 79 million people get health care through Medicaid, including over 1/3 of all children and nearly 2/3 of nursing home residents. Trump and Republicans want to rip their health care away – just to bankroll tax cuts for the rich. We can't let them.

4 in 5 Americans support raising taxes on the rich — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by slashing funding for nursing homes and school lunches.

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then, he says he “trusts” Putin. Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid. It’s clear that Donald Trump is putting his fragile ego before our national security — siding with Putin over U.S. allies in Europe.

A group calling itself the 3rd Term Project is calling for a Constitutional Amendment to let Trump have a third term in office. This move is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. We should take it seriously. The man who would be king certainly does. joycevance.substack.com/p/speaking-t...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered $21 billion of cheating and returned it directly to Americans. That little agency is proof that we can make the government work for people. Trump and Musk want to take that away, but we won't stop fighting to protect it.

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ? This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked. Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues. @bsky.app w 100m users changes political discourse.

If you're one of the 40 million people with student loans, Elon Musk’s team may have gotten access to your Social Security number, income data, and personal information. I'm leading 18 senators in an investigation into DOGE’s actions at the Department of Education.

Treasury Department As long as Musk has this access, he can retrieve people’s sensitive personal information. Social security numbers. Bank account numbers. Tax returns. Musk now has the power to extract that information for his own use, to boost his finances or strengthen his political power.”

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?
