That’s not a townhall, it’s a campaign rally

Wisconsin.

Well. Bye.

Next week, I will guide a discussion on the ongoing Measles outbreak with the recent past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. This event is digital and open to anyone for free. Thank you @rweingarten.bsky.social and the @aftunion.bsky.social Link: event.on24.com/wcc/r/490311...

DOGE is a rogue group of bandits, no one elected them, no one appointed them, no one confirmed them. #handsoff

DOGE has spent the last six weeks on a supposed crusade to audit the government and stop fraud, waste, and abuse. But two federal auditors with years of experience say that DOGE’s actions are the furthest thing from what an actual audit looks like. wrd.cm/420UPoq

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is not cutting waste, fraud and abuse. This is chaos and anarchy.

You and your circle can do something now to make our future better. Join us tomorrow night (3/19) for Courage, Not Compliance - a training for people who want to learn how to organize their community’s leaders to pledge to resist Trump’s illegal, immoral agenda. Link in next post to register ❤️

"The opposition party cannot afford to give an inch. Brute power must be met with brute resistance...the Senate Democrats who voted for cloture don’t understand that imperative. But their voters do." ICYMI @mondairejones.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-reckonin...

Last August, a contract worker was electrocuted at Tesla’s Giga Factory in Austin. The company has decided to contest the $49,650 OSHA citation. In case you forgot, Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla.

100%. They will ignore the court orders.

Democrats in Illinois, if you want to help defeat Elon Musk's Supreme Court candidate in Wisconsin, join us on Sunday, March 30 as we knock doors with friends to our north. www.mobilize.us/operationswi... A right-wing court is bad for Wisconsin and for all of us. Let's go help Susan Crawford!

We have been invaded by criminals, picking locks to break and enter - DOGE is illegal

We the People!

Watch this and then tell me you’re not ready to run through a wall for working people. We have always set the agenda that matters. Cheers to the @apwu.bsky.social and their members who not only fight for our rights every day, but also deliver essential service for the entire economy. #USMailNot4Sale

“anti-DEI” is white supemacy

Support unions, join a union, form a union, strike!!!

The touchstone of most authoritarian regimes is not the kind of total control that most people feel in their day-to-day lives. It is that the regime is only selectively bound by law, producing constant low-grade anxiety as to whether, how, or against whom power will be exercised.

Looks like we are deporting innocent men to the Salvadoran gulag for having tattoos in Spanish that say things like "strong like my mom" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

THIS is how it should work. Thank you @wired.com for this move!

Stop messing with our Social Security! Stop firings, stop office closings, stop new requirements that force people to apply in person. WE PAID FOR THESE BENEFITS. #handsoff

Valid visa and now gone. BTW, she was here to SAVE LIVES. Doctor and Professor Is Deported to Lebanon Despite a Judge’s Order www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Shameless is right. No evidence, no due process.

Privately owned building, independent agency not part of federal branch, broken into by pirates.

⭐The good news: people are resisting the MAGA agenda and they *are* having real time effects on policy and those in power. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/resi...

This is just breaking and entering, sanctioned by the DC Police.

This was the state of the computer supply rooms. Workers had to physically scavenge to get a functioning set up.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

WTF

Leavitt: "It's only because of the United States of America that the French aren't speaking German right now."

This week, we’re holding Elon Musk, DOGE, and their billionaire friends accountable for their anti-worker actions at events across the US. We won’t let anyone gut the essential services that working people rely on without a fight. Find an event near you: www.mobilize.us/aflcio/

"President Donald Trump has scrapped Biden-era executive orders that raised the minimum wage for federal contractors to $15..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I mean.

Yeah, because trans people are the problem, not renegade billionaires who get rich at the expense of the rest of us. Sure. And, shut up Carville.

Trump just invoked this very same law to target people *inside* our borders and he’s already deporting citizens. Roberts said history repudiated Korematsu, but SCOTUS never actually overruled it. What makes anyone think he won’t do this again? Who’s gonna stop him?
