Gangs all here to chew over Trump’s retreat.

Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself — I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

The world stands with Ukraine. We reject Russia and its Trump regime puppet government in D.C.

“This is not a smooth-running operation. Indeed, the extent to which Trump’s first three months back in office have been characterized by mistakes—from bumbling embarrassments to calamitous errors endangering national security—is frankly breathtaking.” @samsteindc.bsky.social

From the people who brought you the torment nexus from the hit book Don't Make the Torment Nexus, this summer you'll be able to taste the culinary thrills of Sinclair's The Jungle!

As cruel as can be. futurism.com/children-sta... @vtanger.bsky.social

~1,000 folks already signed up to join us on a *Friday night* to find out how to cure ballots the republicans are challenging in North Carolina to retroactively throw out ballots in ONLY ONE election from 2024. Our next fight to win, Democrats! ⬇️ NCDP.org/rescue

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.

We’re calling in the calvary! North Carolina Dems will be hosting daily phonebanks to cure the military and overseas voters we need to and we’re hosting our first event THIS Friday! join us to protect the last uncertified democratic win from 2024! ⬇️ www.mobilize.us/ncdems/event...

I agree with this take, but also: the people who own the means of distributing information are always going to (eventually) side with reactionaries to oppose movements in favor of equality. The people who own big companies don't want left-wing ideas to become too popular.

This is exactly the energy every Democrat should be bringing these days. Keep it up @maxwellfrost.bsky.social!

New sketch of my Druid, Celiwin Dreamspeaker. A little treat for me. #art #warcraft

wild how "sell high quality products at a fair price" is like some revolutionary business genius wisdom these days

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

Dem politicians who are doing something and saying something to oppose Trump’s attacks on American democracy are quickly rising in the estimation of voters. Those calling those efforts a “distraction” or providing cover for Trump are quickly squandering their political capital.

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL. Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.” Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.

Exactly right. Also: these deportations are a core part of the Trump agenda. It's not a "distraction" it's what he is doing

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

Democrats can win the battle of ideas if they chose to fight.

It’s been almost 250 years since we organized a political revolution to overthrow a king and constitute a new democracy. Maybe we’re overdue.

My heart is so full. I just drove past the biggest protest I've ever seen in my town. Hundreds of people holding signs and making a Ton of noise, demanding an end to this regime. And the best part? Traffic was at a Standstill as people honked and rolled their windows down to shout encouragement.

We out here #50501protest #handsoff #raleigh

As more and more right wing trolls come over here for lack of fights in the other site, please remember to not engage, block and then move on with your day 🙏

New Focus Group pod is up! How Trump voters feel about our new tariff regime. With the smartest trade guy around @scottlincicome.bsky.social.

If these idiots can manipulate Trump so easily imagine what Putin has been able to do.

Very important win for the FTC, as a judge rules against a motion to dismiss in a Robinson-Patman Act case against Southern Glazer. With big retailers demanding special supplier deals amid tariffs, RPA is going to become a key tool in the immediate future. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5lutk...

Here it is, folks. They're proudly saying if you support due process and you disagree with this administration's actions, you are now considered a terrorist. Even the #Trump -friendly Supreme Court said what they're doing is illegal. This is #fascism, and they're coming for YOU next.

Secret pod is up!

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.

The Bush administration disappeared people too, sent them to a different gulag at Gitmo and other black sites, kidnapped people off the street of Milan, tortured them, in the name of "a different kind of war." We didn't come close to holding them accountable. We're seeing the cost of that now.

This.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

No, Gavin: Trump Disappearing People Isn’t a ‘Distraction’ www.thebulwark.com/p/no-gavin-t...

Wait, ANOTHER one of Elon Musk's companies getting a massive government contract?? The Trump admin is firing workers & gutting Social Security but somehow there’s always money for Trump’s billionaire friends. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of America.

When rhetoric turns into reality, Americans don't like the anti-immigration extremism of the MAGA right. There's a lesson in there, @ryanlcooper.com writes. prospect.org/politics/202...

John Kerry, John McCain, Pat Leahy, and innumerable others spent *decades* building trust through diplomatic contact, including hundreds of millions in American funding to clean up chemical spills and unexploded ordinance. all torched overnight by a senile madman

Could be cute idk. Maybe we all skip work to go to the park near city hall

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

thank you senator
