This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

Now the justice department is telling its agencies they can ignore court orders. I don’t think people realize how dangerous this is. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

If you know anyone in NC, get them to check their ballots! Including our military personnel overseas and their families.

Katherine Clark: "What they are doing here is wrecking the infrastructure of Social Security so they can rob the benefit ... it is an outrageous ripoff of the American taxpayer that we are seeing from this administration."

WHAT THE F**K!

Lamont: DOGE says we’re just getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse—that’s nonsense. All they’re doing is pushing costs onto the state. When we get cuts, we don’t get any notice. All of a sudden, the portal turns off and they stop paying for daycare, they stop paying for Health Department services..

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

keep in mind this is just the markets reaction to the announcement of the tariffs. they haven’t even been implemented yet lol

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Powerful message that’s important to hear and spread.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

As part of my partnership with the American Federation of Teachers, please find the below summary blog post on the highlights of our recent National town hall with the American Academy of Pediatrics. sharemylesson.com/blog/what-we... @aftunion.bsky.social

Cory Booker's floor speech began at 7PM. Midnight now, still going strong. Fascism = dehumanization. It's fueled by sadism, based on cruelty, & sees others as less than human. At this moment: Booker & Chris Murphy showing their humanity is 💯 fascism's antidote. Whether they even realize it.

No lies told here.

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

Are we great again yet?

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

What these thugs are doing is lawless. If you see something, say something. Stop them. Yell. Record them. Demand a warrant. Give them hell and don’t give in. How dare they do this in front of children! How dare they do this in America!

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

UPDATE: Individuals attending the town hall yesterday hosted by Rep. Victoria Spartz in Westfield, Indiana had to prove they are constituents by showing proof of address. This was NOT a crowd of “paid protesters” as Republican lawmakers and commentators continue to insist. In fact,…

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

I have been sanctioned at least twice by Russia. Same evil incompetence vibe. Authoritarianism is not actually efficient.

Everything old is new again. Not just racism and misogyny, but also voter suppression and dirty politics. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
