Are they trying to kill us? Trump proposes a $40 billion cut at HHS—one-third of its discretionary budget. Cuts would hit chronic disease program, rural health initiatives, and HIV work. It would eliminate funding for Head Start. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

EMERGENCY RALLY, WEDNESDAY, anytime 3-6, El Salvadoran consulate in St. Paul. Join the Hands Off coalition of ITC, MN 50501, and Women's March MN in supporting those who have been arrested without due process and sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. mobilize.us/s/rnkdyM

Unions Form Pro Bono Legal Network for Federal Workers Targeted by Trump ... BRAVO... told ya unions were crucial to democracy fight. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/b...

Marco Rubio is exactly the kind of henchman from whom Marco Rubio’s parents fled their native country.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

@freedomandtruth.bsky.social I can’t figure out from your webpage who you are or who your partner is (crush project 2025).

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

This part

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Our ecological responsibilities: •Every landscape needs to manage the watershed in which it lies. •Every landscape needs to support pollinators. •Every landscape needs to support a viable food web. •Every landscape needs to sequester carbon. - Doug Tallamy

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

#handsoff @indivisible.org @chestercntyresist.bsky.social @indivisiblechesco.bsky.social #handsoffchesco The Daily Local News will be reporting our crowd size at 6,000 strong, and they are also calling it the biggest rally ever in West Chester. I am so proud of you, Chester County! 💙💙💙

Kutztown Pa #HandsOff fantastic turnout.

NEW The HR Department of the Social Security Administration sent an email to the entire staff today warning of "abolishment of organizations and positions, directed reassignments, and reductions in force (RIF)" The email asks staff to "volunteer" for reassignment before these actions take place.

Russia state media pretty happy at least

Lesson 13: "Practice corporeal politics... Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them." ***There will be chances to practice corporeal politics all over the USA on April 5th.*** Find yours here: handsoff2025.com

So, tariffs on all allies, but not on Russia? Weird. 🤔

It’s been over a week. HOW are Hegseth and Waltz still serving? It’s long past time for them to be fired or resign.

Waltz must resign. Hegseth must resign. There must be accountability for this Administration’s dangerous disregard for our national security.

Participating in the deportation of lawful residents without due process is an extreme violation of the law & frankly, criminal. Those who participate in these lawless, gestapo-like disappearances should face harsh accountability. Saying you were “just following orders” isn’t a defense.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Hopefully Strom Thurmond took some time out of his busy schedule burning in hell to get the news that he was just beaten by a black man.

Trump’s ICE just “mistakenly” kidnapped a man with protected status and no record married to a U.S. citizen with a disabled child who is a citizen and sent him to an El Salvadoran hard labor prison — and say they can’t do anything about it In our names 🇺🇸

VICTORY: A federal judge ruled Monday that Pennsylvania must count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots, finding that a previous law rejecting such ballots violated the First and 14th Amendments. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Imagine being so rich you can do absolutely anything, and you choose to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money… Yeah, that’s exactly what is going on here, isn’t it?

CARTOON OF THE DAY #2 🇺🇸 (From @adamzyglis.bsky.social )

This needs to be said more and loudly.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

The 3.5% rule: “no government has withstood a challenge of 3.5% of their population mobilized against it during a peak event.” That’s 11 million Americans need to mobilize. LETS GET IT DONE 4.5.25 #MomSky
