Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

Anna Paulina Luna didn’t want to talk to her constituents. So I did.

All of this undertaken in our name. Remember that.

More of this.

Trump says he will withhold federal tax dollars to Maine colleges unless the Gov of Maine personally apologizes to him.

A group of Voice of America journalists have sued Kari Lake and the Trump admin — alleging their shut down of the network was unlawful and unconstitutional. The journalists say the government's acts violate their First Amendment rights and usurp Congress's control of the federal purse.

Millions of Musk dollars to elect an extremist $100 payments from Musk The real power is not with the billionaires - it’s with the people, WHEN WE VOTE Elect Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Vote “NO” on the unnecessary constitutional amendment. Wisconsin already has Voter ID

They want to erase the heroic deeds of Black Americans, women, people of color and LGBTQ individuals.

➡️ Trump’s order revoking humanitarian parole applies to about 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who came to the United States since October 2022. “They arrived with financial sponsors and were given two-year permits to live and work in the U.S.” www.npr.org/2025/03/22/n...

Here’s what’s happening!

We need common sense border security solutions. This isn’t it. Pulling agents off their jobs hunting down child abusers makes our communities more dangerous. www.reuters.com/world/us/tho...

Trump’s attacks on institutions that challenge his agenda require a unified response, says Jason Stanley. “Universities need to band together.” WaPo’s @karenattiah.bsky.social adds, “People’s lives are at stake…All of it can be gone in an instant.” #Velshi www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Trump has been aggressively challenging the authority of the judiciary and concerns about a constitutional crisis have grown. And yet Trump continues to attack the courts. “It is hypocritical, it is lawless, and it is a provocation.” Harvard Law Prof. Emeritus @tribelaw.bsky.social says. #Velshi

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

We need a “March of the Elders” in every city and county on one day. More like a rally. But a show that elders are still citizens, still have voices, still make demands and still care about the future of this country.

It’s just so stupid.

We have arrived at the point where Iran’s supreme leader is critical of the Trump Admin’s record on civil liberties and human rights.

It’s important to understand that concepts like "interests," "nation," and "sovereignty" mean nothing to either man. It doesn’t signify to them that the US thrives or doesn’t thrive, exists or doesn’t exist.

The DEI purge at the Pentagon is White Supremacy. The dismantling of the Dept of Education is Christian Nationalism. The rampage by the kids in DOGE is just petty dumbfuckery.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

hugely important and this will be massively felt across the country

Holy cow❗ People apparently _returned_ from El Salvador for mistaken identity etc. in Alien Enemies Act deportations. This new development appears to show that the Trump administration's claim that they know all detainees sent to El Salvador prison were properly vetted may be dangerously false.⬇️

ICYMI, some thought-provoking reading before we head into the weekend. Bruce Robbins, author of Atrocity, wrote about Mahmoud Khalil on @thenation.com

Reminder that 'savvy' political fact checkers spent the entire campaign telling voters that Trump was not going to do the things he obviously was going to do.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

In other words: Putin is the boss, since whatever he says is true for us.

It's time to use our voice, use our power. WE are the ones that we have been waiting for.

This will HURT Arizona & America Beginning April 11, 2025 All CANADIANS staying 30days or longer must register as a Foreign National!

This just doesn’t do it.

Breaking NYT: The Trump Pentagon is scheduled on Friday to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military's plan for any war that might break out with China — providing Musk access to closely guarded military secrets. Musk is a leading supplier to the Pentagon and has extensive financial interests in China.

Statement from the family of the late Medgar Evers.

Just because Trump is uneducated doesn't mean he has to rob our kids of theirs.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

From top to bottom this admin is about corruption.

This is a virtual example of what Woodrow Wilson did in federal workplaces after his election.

"Stuff you didn't like:" Torture Warrantless surveillance Drone-killing of US citizens 👀

Shorter DOJ: We've only found a couple dozen lawyers willing to make these dogshit arguments with their licenses.

Trumpsters pretend that the courts are out of line, even that judges should be impeached when they don’t like the rulings, but that’s hogwash. Even Chief Justice Roberts is calling out that crap, which is saying something.

It's the billionaires vs. the kids of America. Donald Trump and Elon Musk side with the billionaires. I'm siding with our kids and our teachers every time.

When you can’t win in court, set loose your flying monkeys to intimidate judges and their families? That’s the America we want?

Now is the the time to make our voices herard Louder than ever 💙🌊🦋 #Resist
