I know those of you with GOP senators and reps think calling or emailing them is useless, but they're wavering right now. Make sure they know how you feel about the ballroom, the slush fund, Trump's corruption, and ICE. Even if you don't think it'll change their vote, make sure they hear your rage.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

Let me be blunt: Democrats should gerrymander the ever living shit out of every state where we have unified control of government. If we need to gerrymander our way to electing a Congress that will ban gerrymandering, then we should fucking do it. open.substack.com/pub/santiago...

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

Virginia, go out and vote YES today. Fight fire with fire and take on MAGA's power grab. Did my part.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account. I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either. You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

There is something you can do about all of this — make your plans for May 1. This country needs a united show of power, energy, and hope. indivisible.org/events/may-d...

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

It costs $130 + a $35 facility fee to obtain a passport and an extra $30 for a passport card. In California, fees for certified copies of vital records are between $18 and $31 each. How is the SAVE Act not a poll tax?

That concentration camp where they had Liam is still filled with kids and families. Every one of them is another Liam. They all must be freed, and ICE must be abolished. Find your organizing home and get to work.

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed. ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos. 9 TOTAL. ABOLISH ICE.

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE. It ISN'T a done deal. Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet. That's the way this shit works. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.

We need Democrats in Congress to grasp this moment. Trump’s thugs are shooting, abusing and killing people in our streets with impunity — and we need leaders to stop this lawlessness now. Wake up: This five-alarm fire will get worse without loud and focused opposition.

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

Trump’s January 6 project at its most fundamental is a shameless brazen effort to steal the country’s history, a common possession every bit as iintegral to the democracy as the Wash monument and White House. In that sense , it’s of a piece with Stalinism and other vicious authoritarian movements.

Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

Congress can’t keep calling itself a coequal branch while acting like a spectator. If it won’t defend its constitutional role, this president will gladly take it.

We have to impeach him.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

Billionaires have set up this game where they have everything, while workers compete for the scraps. But what if we stopped competing. What if we worked as a team and changed the game so everyone has what they need.

The "Citizens United" decision in 2010 made corporations & unions "people," with 1A free speech rights, so can spend unlimited $$ on political ads in elections, leading to a surge in "dark money," Super PACs, & vast influence of wealthy donors, despite concerns re corruption & fairness. #ProudBlue

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

The man who now has a member of his cabinet giving orders to murder people once said he could shoot someone and get away with it. It’s the same man who called for the execution of five innocent Black teenagers. We should not be surprised by who Trump is. Because he told us who he was.

Doing your best to literally destroy life-sustaining ecosystems while also sanctioning the torture of people is hard on the spirit, wow who knew

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe. Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social is 💯 right. While MAGA is falling apart, the leftovers are dangerously faithful to Trump, and they will see his murder-laden posts as a call to action. Rhetoric that inspires violence must be challenged by republicans. #momsky

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

This.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

ATTN: if you’re on the sandwich guy jury, my Signal is in my bio. I’d love to talk after the trial. I’ll keep you anonymous. Please share widely.

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Brooklynites: with SNAP benefits expiring as of today, here are two ways you can help feed neighbors: donate to CHiPS, the food pantry/ women's shelter in Park Slope: www.chipsonline.org. Or leave food in the community fridge on 6th Street between 4th and 5th avenues, next to the Postmark Cafe.
