🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

So let me get this straight. White people who wave around the Confederate flag claiming “it’s my heritage” are just fine … But Brown people waving the Mexican flag in a state that used to be part of Mexico because it’s their heritage is a crime … Got it.

The legal rationale given by Trump for seizing CA's National Guard was 10 U.S. Code § 12406. This statute allows the President to deploy National Guard units under very limited circumstances, NONE OF WHICH APPLY HERE. This is unprecedented and completely lawless! 1/ www.latimes.com/california/s...

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

I really don't care that Melania has spent only 14 days in the White House since Trump's inauguration 108 days ago. But Republicans would have had a fit if Michelle Obama or Jill Biden ditched the White House and spent their time grifting with a new meme coin and a $40 million deal with Amazon.
