I believe in due process.

A “prison” is most typically defined as an institution holding inmates ... sentenced for a crime. And of course, most sentences have an end date. However ... Bukele and his government have boasted that people placed in CECOT, “have no chance of getting out.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

I believe in due process.

No. We are not living beyond our means. We have simply been denied the means to live.

The terrifying part is that no one, yet, knows exactly how they’re using the information they stole or exactly what information was stolen.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. Tell your Senator to reject this harmful legislation.

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

I support due process.

They're stupid, impulsive, and they're making this bullshit up as they go along. They are NOT playing "3D chess."

Sorry, America. We can pay cancer research teams or we can pay to fly Trump and his entourage to a UFC fight in Miami. We can’t afford both.

No one can convince me that Trump “backed down”. He succeeded at manipulating the market and making more money for himself. #OrangeMonday #HandsOff #BanCongressionalTradingNow

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

Hats off to all the #HandsOff protestors yesterday! Next step for the US, work towards a general strike ✊ generalstrikeus.com If you are (rightfully) worried about privacy when signing a strike card, follow their own instructions below, give a false phone number and get a temporary email address.

Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Booker was not performative. Firstly, politics is always a performance. But 'performative' is when someone does something for 5 minutes because it's the hot topic of the day: aka, Nancy Pelosi in kente. Booker is embodied. He brought the fire we've been begging to see. He was a warrior. Respect.

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

we all understand that this just means we have to yell at our reps more, right

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Senator Booker broke Senator Thurmond’s record for the longest speech on the Senate floor. Thurmond used his time to stand in the way of progress. Booker is using his to stand for it. This is powerful. This is the America we’re fighting for. This is our moral moment & we must all answer the call.

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

46 Democrats voted WITH Republicans for the Laken Riley Act which allows the detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants simply charged with non violent offenses. Where is the Democratic Party with their outrage over the kidnapping of innocent men sent to die in an El Salvador prison?

Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Any cop pulling up a mask and obscuring their face should be fired. How is this legal? This is what you see in Georgia and other countries that have authoritarian regimes.

Good for Jenner & Block! A great law firm shows what courage and professional leadership looks like in a difficult time. They deserve our thanks and support. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 65 is out! The daily tracker documenting the latest in corruption, power consolidation, civil & human rights abuses, and weaponization of government news. While everyone is focused on Signalgate there was a lot of really important news today

On this day in 1911,146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

OTD in 1949 Operation Priboi started. USSR forcibly deported *90,000* Baltic people to 'inhospitable parts' of Russia. 70% of those deported were women & children under 16. Imagine mass deporting children today....
