“When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.” - Desmond Tutu Division is a choice. So is nurturing our shared humanity. Good night, fellow humans. 💚

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump admin from implementing a new system she says is "actively" and "haphazardy" purging "non-citizens" from voter rolls using inaccurate data. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

"If you eliminate the independence of traditional independent agencies, the practical result of it will be that the American people will be less rich, less safe and less free." Amit Agarwal on the implications if SCOTUS rules in Trump's favor in our case challenging executive overreach.

Trump lies, ducklings die.

I have to do another video on the reflective pool debacle. They are trying to say it was sabotaged by the left. They are unable to see a flaw in their God king. The Trump administration dumped hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae and it stripped the paint.

No declaration of war. No due process. No congressional authorization. The UN’s top expert on counter-terrorism & human rights says the U.S. is committing extrajudicial killings at sea. 211 dead and counting. Where is Congress?

FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK: Marco Rubio just had a man arrested and jailed, and is seeking to deport him, because he publicly supported Petro and opposed a presidential candidate in Colombia that Donald Trump would prefer to be elected. He committed no crimes and had an asylum application pending.

Yikes… this is how they’re trying to fix the algae problem… the birds don’t stand a chance…😕

The administration’s plan for civil servants to sign NDAs threatens to muzzle federal workers from speaking out about what the government is up to. Here's how you can comment on the proposed changes before 6/26 ⬇️ ** You don't have to be a policy expert to submit a comment **

In their third open letter, Delaney strikers thanked community members for their support and asked them to keep fighting for justice for everyone unjustly detained at the GEO Group facility. “We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going.”

I just want to repeat again: The American people saved 26 million lives — because we could It something we should be proud of. Our leaders should tell us about it. Not decry it as some budgetary sin while signing our names to a slaughter.

These weapons are toxic, especially to children, who breathe more rapidly, pulling in more contaminated air than adults relative to their body weight. --> my latest, with @mayatmiller.bsky.social @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social @mariamelba.bsky.social

With its decision in Louisiana v. Callais, SCOTUS turned a blind eye to our history of racial discrimination. It held that considering race *to fix* racially discriminatory maps is itself discrimination—destroying the voting rights the 14+15th amendments were created to protect. What this means 🧵⬇️

🇺🇸All is not lost 🗣️ There is still time to channel the outrage of this injustice and mobilize voters to seek equal access to the ballot, advocate for fair districts, demand alternative methods of voting, and preserve the rights we have enjoyed thanks to the sacrifice of so many Americans.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

OMB is unilaterally making cuts it couldn’t get Congress to agree to in the law, now in a much sneakier way. Read Protect Democracy's Cerin Lindgrensavage’s detailed breakdown of how that works ⬇️

Porsha Ngumezi died at a Texas hospital after bleeding heavily during a miscarriage. The medical board’s discipline of her doctor felt like “a slap in the face,” her husband said. “What kind of justice is this for Porsha?”

A four-hour documentary from 1969 about life in Nazi-occupied France chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. "The Sorrow and the Pity" is more relevant than ever:

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Show me your budget and I'll show you what you value: "Across all government programs—federal, state, and local—$2 are now spent on seniors for every $1 spent on children." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Trump is gutting the Forest Service after a record-breaking wildfire season in 2025. Newsflash: we can’t prevent forest fires without the essential employees that make the research into them happen.

The DOJ quietly closed 23,000+ criminal cases in the first six months of Trump’s second administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/4e5vZLL

What a way to prove the point. Three prompts: -Please stand if you know a victim of sexual assault -Please stay standing if that person reported it -Please stay standing if the perpetrator was punished www.instagram.com/reel/DWl-QGM...

1. BREAKING The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate.

I took a blank sign and asked everyone what did they want to work TOWARD?

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social Moorestown, NJ

see you there

@timmiller.bsky.social I don’t know about mail in voting, but the SAVE Act would disenfranchise anyone who cannot prove their citizenship if they need to register to vote. Women who have changed their names, people who can’t afford passports or locate their birth certificate.

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

RIP, Robert Mueller. Bill Kristol quoted from this Yeats poem this afternoon (www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-cele...).

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

Listen to Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández—Republicans wrote the SAVE America Act to block citizens from registering & purge voters for before midterms. MAGA cannot win with more people voting, so they need to rig the system by making it harder to vote. ☎️ 202-224-3121 NOW #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

“No deporting US citizens” is a CONCESSION???

photo ID paired with a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or similar document all presented in person. Don’t let them gaslight you. For most Americans, your Real ID (the one the government forced you to get) gets you through airport security. That’s it. Please help us spread the truth!

The Trump administration is slowly dismantling the federal disaster management system that protects the nation from chemical catastrophes, such as fires and explosions at high-risk facilities. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump reported making $1.6 BILLION during his first term by shamelessly monetizing the presidency at every turn. His net worth jumped by $3 BILLION just last year. So, yeah, we're not impressed that he donated his $400,000 presidential salary.

The best thing to have is enough.

This week’s MD-08 Local Hero is Mike Stein. Along with family & neighbors, Mike volunteers with the City of Rockville’s excellent Snow Shovel program. After this week’s huge storm, they helped seniors & people with disabilities in Twinbrook dig out from the snow, sleet & ice.

"Caterpillar Inc, which imports raw materials and parts for construction equipment, said it expects the president’s levies to cost about $2.6 billion this year." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying. With support for abolishing ICE growing and a bipartisan backlash prompting Trump to at least feign a more conciliatory approach in Minnesota, this is the moment to exert pressure. bit.ly/4aoo0an

Don Lemon has been arrested, and the federal agents who killed people in MN walk free. What's wrong with this picture.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Here’s something positive for your Thursday morning as we close out the 12th week of January. 332 cold-stunned sea turtles were rescued this week, thanks to tireless work of multiple organizations and agencies. Feel free to share some positive news that isn’t behind a pay wall. #TimelineCleanse

😞🙏

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Worth knowing. popular.info/p/the-corpor...

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.
