An alarming declaration not only attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions, but also a thinly veiled call to action for the MAGA mob. Trump’s contempt for the rule of law is evident in both his words and actions. He is wildly attacking our government, including the U.S. Constitution’s system…

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act to increase penalties for disclosing taxpayer information. Every single Democrat and Republican voted for the exact same bill last Congress. They won't even take it up for a vote now. Wonder who they're trying to protect now?

Make the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and his “DOGE” bros prove that they are in compliance with the existing federal court orders. Put some teeth on these court orders. Non-compliance=contempt of court

Elon is going off on a tirade against the judge who enjoined DOGE from accessing sensitive systems. Make no mistake, this is an attempt to incite threats and violence against the judge and intimidate the judiciary as a whole.

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

FYI: Just last week, Trump FIRED the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee. That explains why he’s forcefully deflecting the DC crash, and the new Philadelphia crash to “DEI”.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

We need to go beyond calling on Dems to reject RFK and others (though I think Whitehouse may be on board--not sure abt Fetterman). We need to get better at assigning responsibility to Republicans when they confirm and the inevitable happens. You will be responsible for the dead children.
