How a would-be dictator acts.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Say it with us: Constitutional crisis

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

NEWS: According to a whistleblower, Musk's DOGE stole "sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets" then tried "to cover their tracks." The right wing is not about efficiency. They just steal from all of us to benefit themselves.

PERSON.

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

Trump is and always has been #weak.

THIS! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Due process rights are fundamental to our nation–Trump taking them away from one person, is a threat to every one.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

This.😆

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?

The United States government kidnapped and disappeared Abrego Garcia and sent him to El Salvador, without due process. As of today, the DOJ is defying the judge's order asking for his whereabouts and to facilitate his immediate return. This is next level authoritarianism.

The attack on law firms and the judicial system must stop or we are doomed.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Co-signed.

Separation. Of. Powers. Mike Johnson is appalling.

“Trump Backs Down”

Folded like a cheap lawn chair, he did.

Nearly 800,000 children depend on Head Start—and Trump just slashed the workforce supporting them. No plan. No input. Just damage. I’m leading the call to immediately reinstate these critical employees and protect the programs that families and children rely on.

We need to try!!!!
