Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

Trump is responsible for Ras Baraka's arrest. There is no other way to put it. ICE likely checked with the White House before doing it. Trump needs to be impeached and removed for this abuse of power. Contact your Members of Congress right now, here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

What we witnessed was a political kidnapping of an elected official and I don't know what more to say than that.

Dear ICE Agents: When your parents told you that you could be anything you want when you grow up, they didn’t mean masked kidnappers.

Is everyone in DC just ignoring that the Supreme Court told Trump to return Mr. Garcia? Are we just going to move on to the next ruling or just let him choose which ones he wants to follow that work for him? What's going on with SCOTUS?

OTD 2 years ago in OK, I chased the most incredible storm of my life. I documented 8 tornadoes, including two sets of twins and the widest tornado I've seen (1.3 miles). The structure and lightning was unlike anything I had seen. It was a true behemoth of the plains. Real time clip:

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Anyone pretending that the U.S. and El Salvador simply accidentally deported the wrong people is being willfully dishonest. The truth is, they’re avoiding the uncomfortable reality: they’re okay with the fact that deporting political dissidents into near-certain death. Ghouls.

Where are all the people who said to me... * "You're over reacting." * "The Courts will never allow it." * The Constitution doesn't allow that." * "You're comparing him to Hitler? You sound ridiculous." Is it sinking in yet or are you still in denial?

MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just told Call to Activism exclusively that she’s calling for a formal investigation into “insider trading” among Trump’s friends: "Did Trump or those with inside knowledge help wealthy investors cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?"

They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.

I never want to hear how Republicans are better on the economy ever again. And Democrats, stop asking questions or being tentative. Blast those motherfuckers every day until kingdom come like you're at war - a war of messaging. Because you are. MEET THE DAMN MOMENT.

Maybe it’s just me, but there’s no reason any decent honest human being should be visiting the orange felon for any reason at this point seeing as he’s a convicted felon who is actively destroying the country. LA Dodgers and The Eagles are a disgrace.
