Sending an all-female crew into outer space for a few minutes, at the cost of millions — while women down here on earth are dying without reproductive care… is a choice.

Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

According to the Oval Office chats

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Here is Senator Rubio (2017) calling on the Chinese government to provide due process protections to prisoners and calling on the U.S. not to send anyone there unless China proves is it abiding by int'l human rights law - standards Secretary Rubio is helping the US and El Salvador violate today.

We don't know who wrote this but it resonates. Keep holding on to that ember of hope. Goodnight friends. Get some rest. We rise to fight again tomorrow.

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

In an Instagram post, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries backs a ban on stock trading for members of Congress:

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

This is the crowd for Bernie and AOC in a state that voted for Trump by over 36% last year.

So we had an earthquake today, and something amazing happened…

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

They deported 10 today without due process. Who is next?

Unvaccinated adults are uniquely vulnerable to the measles, because the disease only becomes nastier and deadlier with age. And the virus is finding them, @sarahzhang.bsky.social reports:

Appalling 🍊 actions & Pamela Jo words today support this.

Reasons why daily supporting neighbors & different communities should be everybody's business. So we never get to days like today, where our executive branch & DOJ stand up for criminality, disappearing people in foreign SuperMax prisons. Ignoring SCOTUS entirely. Constitutional / human crisis.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

Senators need to step in and defend the rule of law, they need to support the Supreme Court decision. Pamela Jo won't oppose 🍊. The DOJ is useless. We need to bring the innocent home. Abducted without due process cannot be allowed.
