20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Until people can admit it is a thing, we will never be able to address it properly or move past it.

This man is a stain on our nation

It's *possible* (though not credibly likely) that US officials can't order El Salvador to return a prisoner. But it's essential that those officials be held criminally accountable for sending him there in the first place.

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

I applaud Rep. Al Green, You can't just sit around and do nothing. Once again. Black folks leading.....

I’m not a lawyer or anything but I feel like you can draw a pretty direct line from John Yoo being allowed to slip back into the comforts of tenure and the occasional NYT oped to what’s happening with the CECOT and doj

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

If you have the sheer skill to bankrupt a string of casinos… Your next challenge is bankrupting a Western country.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

No wait, let me guess. Is that because YOU NOW OWN TWO HOMES??

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

Doge not saving you money

On Thursday, House Republicans passed a budget blueprint that moves them one step closer to cutting taxes for the rich while at the same time slashing Medicaid and food stamps.

If the president can spend a quarter of his days in office golfing, corporations can give workers a four-day work week.

One Canadian visitor to Palm Springs, California canceled his $7,000 Airbnb reservation. It comes amid rising tensions between the US and Canada.

☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.

What a wonderful idea 👇🏼

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

BREAKING: Arsonist Targets Dem Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sleeping Family

The home of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was set on fire this morning — while he and his family were inside — Shapiro says. No one was injured. The incident is being investigated as arson by state police.

Donald Trump's tariff exemptions are just the latest example of his obvious corruption.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

So happy Missy got to do #Coachella her concert was one of our favorites last year.

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

These children were robbed of their childhood and I don’t know what it would take to show them that life could be different

Can a U.S. President be charged with treason? Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

They are calling it Bernicella 2.0. Listen in to the LA Fight the Oligarchy rally. youtu.be/UQjX_SuQRZA

Another huge crowd today in Encinitas rallying for democracy! #StopTheCuts #HandsOff @indivisible.org

What if there was an opposition party that just said "If you give us a majority in congress we'll remove these freaks and criminals from power"

Still laughing China said we BEEN here for 5,000 years 😂
