Shoutout to Daniel Bice of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, who’s been on the Judge Dugan story all week. You can catch up on his coverage here www.jsonline.com/staff/264800...

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

Donald Trump’s attacks on @ActBlue are authoritarianism in action.

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

In the new SCOTUS Alien Enemies Act case (AARP v Trump), dissenting Justices Alito & Thomas complained that @ACLU gave ND Texas Judge Hendrix less than "45 minutes" to rule. This timeline shows that Hendrix failed to act in the face of 14 hrs of dire warnings: 1/2

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Because Lee Gelernt and the other attys at the @ACLU DO NOT SLEEP on what must be done.

Bring it you fascist fuck.

This is outrageous. Republicans are blocking every single Democratic amendment that would make the voucher bill even slightly less devastating for our public schools. This is straight out of Project 2025 — an authoritarian takeover of our state is happening before our eyes. #txlege

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

I am so PROUD OF Senator Chris Van Hollen for FIGHTING lawlessness in our country. So honored to know him. Thank you, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov you're a patriot and hero!

Says the guy whose charity was shut down by the state of New York for making illegal campaign contributions.

Hey, #SurferSky: get loud about how you feel about El Salvador hanging on to an innocent man. No freedom, no riders. #BoycottElSalvador

On Social Security Day of Action, I stand with the over 2 million North Carolinians that depend on Social Security. They've paid into it, and they've earned it. Alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social, I will keep fighting attempts to close field offices and make benefits harder to claim.

Illinois is and forever will be a beacon of progress and equality for the LGBTQ+ community across the nation. We know that people are hurting right now and looking for answers. That's why I spent the afternoon hearing from folks on what we can do to support them right now.
