“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

More fake ICE agents doing horrible things. Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

The "misinformation" in question here is that gender-affirming care reduces suicides among youth. It merely reduces depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal ideation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

They're gearing up to deport millions of working families. The Republicans are deeply evil.

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

I think Zohran Mamdani demonstrated pretty handily that he’ll protect Jewish New Yorkers when the seniormost Jewish elected official in the city was detained by jackbooted thugs and he was on the scene demanding his release in minutes

When liberals want to make other liberals fear someone, they talk about all the people that someone will hurt. When conservatives want to make other conservatives fear someone, they talk about all the people that someone will help.

“For 30 or 40 miles…I staggered on, fearing every instant I should be …crushed within the jaws of some disturbed alligator. The dread of them now almost equalled the fear of the pursuing hounds.” -Solomon Northrup, Twelve Years a Slave

I love Brad Lander and hope he refuses to listen to the “consultants” who forced Tim Walz to tone this kind of talk down

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

They said they were going to do stuff like this in Project 2025 and we all said, he that’s bad, and then they said, that’s not what we’re going to do, and then the press just fell for it again and now we don’t have climate dot hecking gov.

Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Jake Tapper is just very deliberately finding new ways to disgrace himself every day, in a desperate effort to assuage Trump and keep right wing viewers on board. the word for this is "collaboration."

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

The hateful, xenophobic, and anti-Muslim attacks on Zohran Mamdani and our Muslim colleagues cannot go unanswered and must stop. Anti-Muslim speech and its normalization undermines the safety, dignity, and rights of our communities and erodes our fundamental democratic values. We must reject hate.

This excellent piece is about Voice of America being dismantled, but it could equally be about US AID or higher education. At a conference in Korea where US-educated university leaders here are talking a lot about democratic values. Will their students be able to visit the US?
