“We need to remember how we got here, from Selma to Seneca Falls, we are here because of the power of the people! Change does not come FROM Washington. It comes TO Washington. Power cedes nothing without a demand.” 🗣️ From the ROOFTOPS, Senator Booker!! @booker.senate.gov #MomSky 🔥

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

The greatest trick this fascist administration is trying to pull, is convince you that if you love America you must be willing to destroy America.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending US citizens to El Salvador for crimes.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there. Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains. Bring him home!

Some moments stop you cold. This depraved act is one of them. I’m deeply grateful that Josh, Lori, their family, and the Governor’s Residence staff are safe after such a terrifying act at their home. God bless our first responders.

So what we have learned (not for the first time) is that when this government makes mistakes (of which there are many) that deprive you of your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.... too bad. Don't worry, I'm sure all those gop "constitutional originalists" will speak up any time now.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

60% of Florida voters approved a $15 minimum wage initiative in 2020 — a bigger vote share than Trump ever got in the state. But the state GOP is now trying to gut the law by carving out exceptions for major categories of workers. "Party of the working class".

Mark your calendars. And also decide... what next? What more can I do in my family, my community, any place I have a forum to use my voice? This looks different for everyone and that's ok - but pick something. While the world is watching protests, what we do when no one is watching also matters.

Strom Thurmond set a record when he filibustered the Civil Rights Act in 1957. Senator Cory Booker just broke that record. And he did it fighting for every single American. I would dare say, in so many ways, he is our ancestors' wildest dream.
