"I’m sorry that you’re living in a world on fire, and that the forces around you, especially government forces around you, are arrayed against you. But they aren’t the only voices and there are millions of people who do care about you and do love you" -- Dr. Megan Pickett, astronomer 🔭🧪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

ICE already can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

This is a fraud on the American people that would make even the Enron scammers blush. Senate Republicans are violating the rules to hide the cost of their plan and bankrupt the country — all to give tax cuts to billionaires.

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

My heart is breaking in ways I didn’t know were possible—but I’m holding onto outrage. Two U.S. teens were dragged from their home in SoCal as federal agents shattered windows, hurled flashbangs, & took their parents. This is cruelty. This is terrorism. And it’s happening on our soil. F*ck ICE.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

I don't think we talk enough about how dignity is also a human right. Food, water, shelter, education, health care, representation...all of those are human rights that everyone should receive regardless of who they are. But it's also a right to not have to beg for them.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.

They will go to incredible lengths to avoid admitting simple reality: -Forever wars were happening -Biden chose to end them -Trump is reversing that decision There is no 'supposed' about it, no inevitable trend, there was one (1) president who decided to stop warring for a second

Meislas While the circus grabs headlines, Senate Republicans are scheming to spike student loan bills by nearly $3,000 a year—forcing more people into default. All to bankroll billionaire tax breaks. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening right now. #DontKillOurMedicaid

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

A thing I feel that not enough people know about is that the US last year produced more oil and gas than any country in the history of oil and gas and of countries. We will break that record this year.

Seemingly lost in all of the NYT coverage is that what the Supreme Court did was effectively lower the evidentiary bar that state's have to meet to justify their bans. The lower courts that applied heightened scrutiny universally blocked the bans.

They’re banning gender care for kids by screaming about “sex change surgeries.” That’s a lie. No one’s cutting up children. It’s puberty blockers. It’s hormones. It’s reversible. They know the truth. They just don’t care. The cruelty is the point. #TransRights

I refuse to respond to Skrmetti by breaking up our community. It doesn't matter if you medically transition, socially transition, both, or neither. It doesn't matter if you're binary or nonbinary or genderqueer or agender. I see you. I love you. We will get through this. And we will undo this.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

They gutted social programs, shut down factories, outsourced jobs, and left entire towns to rot, and then they militarized the cops, constructed a bunch of private prisons, and built Cop Cities to crush any resistance, but they want us to blame immigrants for the way things are?

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2
