I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest. And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process. Either we are a nation of laws or we are not. And if we are not, then all is lost.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices. Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work. They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

@teslatakedown.com Thousands showed up today in Tucson, Arizona for the #teslatakedown. Resist!

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

1,320 people, woo-hoo!!! Brief footage KVOA at 9pm. Story (paywalled) at AZ Daily Star: tucson.com/news/local/a...

Over 1300 people stood up for humanity in Tucson, Arizona today. Keep it going!

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

Reminder: Protest at the Tesla dealership in Tucson this morning! We'll see you there.

Your tax dollars at work: “Those trapped at the camp include at least eight children, as well as women fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan and Christian converts fleeing the government in Iran. None have been charged with crimes, according to Panamanian officials.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/w...

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, and other contractors have pitched Trump WH on proposal to carry out mass deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases, a private fleet of 100 planes, and a “small army” of private citizens… www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

He nails it.

Confused...they’re convicts, right? Insurrectionists? No particular singing chops? A choir only when they had nothing else to do? And they’re going to the Kennedy Center? This isn’t Kid Rock performing at an Inaugural Ball, this’d be like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog tap-dancing at Carter’s funeral.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Have information you think the public should know about the Census Bureau or other parts of the federal government? I'm a @npr.org correspondent who's available via the encrypted messaging app Signal at hansi.01

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Spirited demonstration downtown confronted Sen. Kelly at his office, then on to the Federal Building, then on to Sen. Gallego's office where they were met by a staffer prepared with dozens of comment sheets for everyone to fill out. And it's working! Sen. Dems will block a vote on Vought tonight!!!

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Maybe I'm crazy, but when the new authoritarian leader is executing a blitzkrieg to consolidate power and demolish the pillars of our democracy, maybe the opposing party shouldn't vote for his bootlicking nominees who were selected for their blind fealty. I'm crazy, right?

This.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Listening to the mother of former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone describing on @joy.msnbc.com how she has been harassed and menaced is making my chest so tight. If your police union hasn’t condemned this conduct if, as a Member of Congress, you’ve condoned these pardons, you are a disgrace.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

The fire hoses are been opened and the damage is being done with ferocious speed and severity. It’s hard to breathe and harder to believe the depth and breadth of the damage to our country and the world.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)
