youtu.be/uKDM8G1PqbM?... A smaller video to talk about where we are at right now, where I’m at, and some of the motives behind the rampant cruelty and lies. It’s important that we aren’t silent, even when that’s difficult. It’s also important that we remember that they aren’t all powerful.

youtu.be/zMndfvxVeRo?... Spent all day trying to find this, long speech but well worth it! Love to see it @govpritzker.illinois.gov

youtu.be/-aQyVuxaUUU?... I did make a new video, just a little about me and what I believe and value. It will be pinned on my channel.

Absolutely disgusting behavior from everyone involved. This isn’t about politics, it’s about humanity. And still, Republicans continue to fail that test because their only guiding principle is gaining more power, especially at the expense of the weakest members of our society.

They’re arresting judges now

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

youtu.be/FpJbethbm1o?... He is lying, gas isn’t below $2 in any state, and eggs aren’t down 92% (that would be less than $1/dozen). He is lying about something that you can debunk in 3 min by checking any grocery store website. If he will lie so brazenly about that, what else would he lie about?

youtube.com/watch?v=y7WR... New video out a bit early. I talk a little about Kilmar, but also talk about something the left could really use right now. Unified leadership.

This is my country, it is your country, and we have a say in who we are, and how we become what we want to be. We have a say in what we do, and what we value. It is wholly un-American to shake down and threaten the people to silence dissent. The most core patriotic duty we have, is to dissent.

Trump said he wanted to take away due process for immigrants–something conservative judges think is unconstitutional—and he did. He says he wants to ship American citizens to foreign countries, believe him and do not wait to speak out against his abhorrent actions.

The people running our country are sick. They lie, they distort, and they seek to hurt people for the pure joy that they get from doing so. We should remember the little people who facilitated this, and they should not know peace and quiet in public until they have undone the damage they caused.

Fear is the greatest weapon they can wield. They can do a lot to coerce us into giving them that weapon, but at the end of the day, they cannot take it by force. Don’t be silent out of fear of reprisal, be loud to prevent the continued erosion of our values, our rights, and our morals.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

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.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

When he says “home-growns”, he’s talking about US citizens. He wants Bukeke to build more torture prisons in El Salvador for Americans. Not me saying it, Trump saying it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

At this point as a matter of law, principle and morality Trump has to be impeached. Flagrantly violating a Supreme Court order to facilitate the return of an innocent man sent to a slave labor gulag with no due process is so immensely evil it's earth shattering.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

The idea that there’s a loophole for due process if they just ship you to a slave labor gulag immediately is so offensively stupid that it’s hard to wrap your mind around.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Trump is defying the Supreme Court, they illegally removed Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, and are refusing to bring him back. If they can do this to anyone, they can do this to everyone. Stand up, speak out, don’t let our rights be taken by this wanna be tyrant. This is America, here we have no kings

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

Absolute disgrace to this nation. He should never have been nominated, let alone confirmed.

This is what we mean when we say that it’s dangerous to have a conspiracy theorist in charge of the biological sciences in this country. Even worse, the mass firings have left him unchained and unchecked. Everyone is less safe with him in a position of power.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

youtube.com/watch?v=CXFR... My latest video was just posted. In it, I talk about the devastation that we’re seeing in the HHS. It’s a tragedy not just as an American, but also as a scientist, to watch our government willfully destroy our scientific expertise at the behest of conspiracy theorists.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

Absolutely brutal

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

Just so we’re all clear, this is highly illegal. If they can falsely say that someone is in a gang (as they have done) and then ship they out of the country before lawyers can challenge it (as they have done), they’ll refuse to bring them back (as they have done). This could happen to any of us.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Oh good, at least we can count on them getting to file habeas petitions while in a motherfucking El Salvadoran gulag. 🤦🏼‍♀️

75% have no criminal records. Just sit with that. www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Great turnout today at one of the hands off protests in NW Indiana!

youtube.com/watch?v=uaMK... I took some time to discuss the tariffs, and how absolutely nonsensical they are. Also some positive things about the special elections and the use of the filibuster by Sen. Booker!
