Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 83-84 weekend roundup is out! The daily tracker documenting the latest in corruption, power consolidation, civil & human rights abuses, and weaponization of government news. Key Takeaway- Authoritarian Loyalty Tests

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

A very, very good question.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk. (They are not complimentary)

Truthout spoke to 3 organizers about their local rapid response & “deportation” (ie. state kidnapping) defense efforts 🧵 “The main question we face in New Jersey is how we cut all the tentacles from police collaboration with ICE.” ~ Haydi Torres

The President of North America’s Building Trades Union, Sean McGarvey, gives a passionate speech about the unlawful deportation of union worker Kilmar Abrego Garcia. ‘We demand you return him home to his family NOW! BRING HIM HOME!!’ #MomSky #Voices4Victory

ding ding ding ding we have a winner!!!!!!

This ruling is a disappointing setback in what we unfortunately knew would be a long and unnecessary process. I continue to stand with Mahmoud Khalil and will fight to bring him home and for every person’s freedom of speech. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/judge...

Very informative chart from Washington Post

I keep thinking about how women are most at risk of being murdered by abusive men after they've decided to leave the relationship and it's not exactly a subtle comparison to what's being done to the USA at the moment

The Portland DGK maps were incredibly useful and I highly recommend folks prepare them for their cities. It can also help in situations where a group needs to split and work autonomously for a bit.

Happening tomorrow at Foley Square in NYC.

When I was in 9th grade the coach told me my sweater made me look gay. I replied that was good, as I was trying to get his wife to leave me alone. And that's the real reason why I failed gym.

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

Members of Congress must serve their constituents, not their own financial interests. We need a stock trading ban on Congress, and I cosponsored legislation to do it.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register. I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.

Clearly, DEI was the duct tape holding America together.

The important thing here is that some brave people said NO and they WALKED AWAY

It goes down this way more often than people realize. You’ll just never see it on the news.

If you’re dismayed by the ruling today, here is an organization that I am currently working with to help abducted community members. Donations to this org will go much further than donations to ActBlue. #AbolishICE #ChingaLaMigra www.immdef.org

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend… “But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" …because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

All this SpaceX stuff has been a smokescreen by Elon Musk for Neuralink. You're not going to Mars, you're going to the warehouse.

we really need to establish whether holding people in these facilities constitutes constructive us custody amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...

Perhaps a standing man protest in prison garb (CCOT)and manacles standing facing ICE and DHS. Especially white women. Feedback? substack.com/home/post/p-...
