I live in Texas. No one did jack shit to protect those people. There was no advance warning from anyone.

Muskrat vs Taco - a brief reenactment. #Musk #Trump

This hits hard.

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

When Laura Loomer calls the new Pope a “woke Marxist,” you know he must be doing something right.

This is fascism.

SIX MONTHS AGO.

Taking the drug made one writer feel so sick she quit and focused on healthy habits instead of her body size. Turns out, 65% of people using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss quit within a year.

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶 This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops. Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta. Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Back in January, I reported on DOGE entering an agency system, exporting the data, OPM server info left open to the public, and someone signing in from a foreign country using a DOGE account. Almost identical to what the Whistleblower reported to NPR this week www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Oh my God, I just had a full night’s sleep and Cory Booker is still going… www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

HAPPENING NOW: @booker.senate.gov has held the Senate floor for over 15 hours to declare our nation is in crisis, and he’s reading YOUR MomsRising stories. Thank you Senator Booker for speaking out on the issues our families care most about. Tune in and cheer him! Read more stories here:

Don’t know if I’ll ever understand… We all knew what was coming. Project 2025 was a clear blueprint. We knew he’d try to steal the election… and yet… not one vote challenge. Not one. “When we fight, we win”? We needed you to walk your talk on November 6th to prevent all this.

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated. The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

Detain him with plainclothes masked men, send him to a Louisiana jail and don’t tell his lawyers where he is or you’re not serious about stopping shit.

In case you were wondering who's in charge

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

I’ve asked this question before. Now I’m SHOUTING it. Where the HELL are the Democrats? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/where-the-hell-are-the-democrats

This is what happens when you allow incompetent people to run our government🤬

Sadly this is far to true!!!

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has canceled his book tour because he doesn't want to have to face the consequences of his actions from angry constituents.
