When police stop you—whether while driving or simply while existing in public—they are well within their legal rights to HANDCUFF and ultimately ARREST you, for even the most minor infraction. Not nearly enough people know this. But Black people do. The rest of America is about to find out. Soon.

Deporting people without due process makes you the "illegal." We gave Nazis captured in the US hearings before deporting them. Remember, MAGA cares more about the due process of Nazis than of nannies.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

There is a reason why millions of workers want to join unions. There is a reason why greedy corporations oppose unions. Union membership means higher wages and better benefits. Let’s grow the trade union movement.

Trump and Musk are trying to write into law their assault on our government — gutting programs and services that benefit everyone so they can pass a giant tax giveaway for billionaires. We will fight this disastrous budget plan with everything we’ve got.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

The Trump Administration admitted in court it NEVER should have abducted Mr. Abrego Garcia and is defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return — and Bukele is complicit in this illegal scheme. That's why @kaine.senate.gov and I are forcing a vote on our bill to hold them accountable.

You can’t claim to care about the chronic illness epidemic while actively undermining public health and encouraging the spread of diseases like covid and measles. Many chronic illnesses can be traced back to a viral infection. Allowing contagious diseases to run rampant creates more disability.

There are many people, including children, that have been excluded from society because they are in a group that is known to be more at risk of serious outcomes from COVID-19. Instead of providing safer places and people to interact with, they are mocked and excluded further.

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the government can expel legal residents from the country based on 'past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful.'"

"Among the rare times that the Supreme Court has reached a 9-0 decision, it is no longer a verdict. It is an order. It must be followed, or the offender has committed the ultimate betrayal of the American people. This is the unforgivable sin against the constitution itself." - Bill Clinton, 1993

There’s a measles outbreak in the Canadian province of Ontario that’s twice the size of the one in Texas. Over 1000 people are sick. Why isn’t this getting more media attention? People need to be informed of the risk & how to protect themselves. Vaccinate, wear a respirator, isolate when sick.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

If you care about social justice, wear a respirator. If you want to fight fascism, wear a respirator. If you care about your health, wear a respirator. A well fitted respirator protects against Covid, measles & more. It’s a simple & easy way to resist while practicing community care.
