Me too!

Read my joint statement with the Ranking Members of the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Department of Justice’s unwarranted targeting of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver.

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.

and by “parents” they mean “women.” getting us out of the workplace was always one of the key motivations behind the attack on DEI.

Shut it down.

Today can be a complicated day for some.

It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.

I'm shocked to learn there is bribery going on here. Shocked, shocked!

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

based on some reading i'm doing at the moment, there is a book to be written — if it already hasn't been — on defense of apartheid south africa as the great international cause of the american right

Wab Kinew gives an update on his strategy to deal with the homelessness crisis by *checks notes...* providing homes. Where's the blaming of the feds? Where's the inaction? Where's the menacing threats of arrests? Doug Ford does not approve. #cdnpoli

Please stop thinking what's happening in our country won't affect you. Remember, this happened to my white, green-eyed, red-headed granddaughter just because her name is Garcia.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

If you want to increase your wealth, you should take bees as an example. They collect honey without destroying the flowers. They are even useful for the flowers. Gather your wealth without destroying its sources, then it will constantly increase. Siddhartha Gautama

Donald has never liked the WORK of being president. He's too lazy for that and lacks the attention and ability to read. Instead, he likes the pomp, flattery and opportunities to use the office to make money. In other words, he is useless to the American people, other than trolling for the MAGA half.

Anti-ethnic cleansing protests happening in Worcester, Massachusetts. The people demand justice and for Trump's ICE regime troops to leave their neighbourhoods. #3E #StopICE #USprotests (@worcester_bumps) “GET ICE OUT OF WORCESTER” “WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS”

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

At this very moment our members are organizing a coordinated response to this attack on our community. To our elected officials we say: join us or we will hold you accountable. The spark of resistance has been lit in Massachusetts. Stand up for the people, now, or we will stand up to you too

If you thought Operation Whirlwind couldn’t get any more unhinged, think again. Ed Martin has been caught ghostwriting online posts attacking judges, including both federal and state officials overseeing cases tied to Trump and his allies.

🔥 Kimmel on @repstansbury.bsky.social gloriously trolling Marge for using a doctored photo to try to make a witness look bad

If you're a Catholic who is more upset that your new Pope cares about the well-being of disadvantaged people than you are about the President posting a picture of himself as the Pope you are not a Catholic, you're a bigot.

A Christianity that is offended by someone advocating for the poor, the immigrant, the hungry, the sick, the marginalized, and the oppressed, is a Christianity that is offended by Jesus. Therefore, it is no longer Christianity.

MUST-WATCH: JB Pritzker just trolled Trump so masterfully on Jimmy Kimmel last night, Donald is going to have many sleepless nights. Holy sh*t.

OMG are you kidding me

He keeps picking television personalities to run things because they’re all he knows. He doesn’t read. Not books, not articles, not academic journals, not even his briefings. All he does is play golf and watch TV.

J’offre mes prières et mes vœux à Sa Sainteté le pape Léon XIV pour son élection en ce jour historique pour les catholiques et ceux qui adhèrent aux conseils du Vatican. En cette période de défis mondiaux, que son pontificat en soit un de solidarité, de compassion et de dignité.

I offer my prayers and best wishes to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election, an historic day for Catholics and all who look to the Vatican for guidance. At a time of global challenges, may his pontificate carry forward a mission of solidarity, compassion, and dignity for all.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

oh cool another DUI hire

You don't have to be catholic to appreciate Leo XIV's humane view of the poor, migrants, the environment: open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Q: “What’s the difference between Donald Trump and trans people?” A: “There are trans people courageous enough to serve in our military.”

Dark money in the 2024 elections reached a record high of $1.9 billion, about double the prior record in 2020. New analysis from @brennancenter and @annalecta.bsky.social www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
