The US government has targeted thousands of parents for deportation since Donald Trump took office in January 2025. A Guardian analysis of government records has found that, during the first seven months of his presidency, the administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 children. 🧵

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

If Reform was in charge, we'd be at war with Iran by now, Farage would've put half of us in internment camps & would be asset stripping the country of whatever the Tories didn't take. Oh & if there was another pandemic, you wouldn't stand a fucking chance.

People aren’t just missing Obama. We’re missing what this country felt like. We need that again. 🕊️ #SheShed

Just so we understand.

Fuck Donald Trump Forever #FBaRmy Saturday Suck It You Pedo Nazi Fake Bitch Made Mothafukkin Cunt Rapist!

The Republicans will continue to weaponize the law against us until we have absolutely no recourse to stop them. I encourage Gov. Spanberger to work outside the confines of traditional politics to impose the voter-approved map. If courts want to set a precedent, then Her Excellency should as well.

Pretty cool how one side gets to cheat and the other isn’t allowed to win fairly

Chelsea Perkins murdered the man who raped her. She pled guilty and took full responsibility. She was given 22.5 years in prison. Jesse Mack Butler raped and strangled two children. One sustained such severe neck injuries she almost died. He got community service.

Netanyahu has definitely been the worst American president of my lifetime

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection.

While families get hammered by skyrocketing gas prices, Big Oil is cashing in on the chaos. That’s why we need to pass @whitehouse.senate.gov and @khanna.house.gov’s Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act and stop oil executives from profiteering off people’s pain!

I'm a registered Democrat, but once upon a time I might have voted for a Republican if their values aligned with mine. Not anymore. I'll never even consider voting for a Republican again. Their party has been eaten alive by bigotry, misogyny & everything else I hate. They're all tainted now.

NEW: Louisiana's delay of the primaries following SCOTUS' ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act has sparked confusion in the Bayou State. If the suspension is left to stand, hundreds of Louisianans who already cast a ballot risk being disenfranchised. Jacob Knutson explains where things stand👇

The White House ballroom lawsuit just escalated. The preservation group suing Trump says DOJ made multiple “false statements” in court and delivered this brutal line: “All of this may be standard fare for a social media post. But in a federal court filing, it is neither appropriate nor permitted.”

The Regime Got Caught Hiding Proof That Vaccines Are Safe—And That’s Not Even The Best Story Today #TrumpsGasProblem

This is amazing

Absolutely 💯

another huge W for Brazil

Trump is desperately wagging the dog trying to save himself. From the environment, abortion, guns and yes even Iran Trump is trying to reignite the classic political fights to try and energize his miserable base. Let's knock it all down on Coffee With Texas Paul, live at 11 am Eastern.

Republicans on SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act using wrong DOJ data from tRump’s Justice Dept. Alito claimed Black turnout now beats white turnout—by counting non-citizens & felons in the math! GOP’s desperate voter suppression playbook exposed. mcsp.short.gy/gbi6

All I'm saying is the Dems in Virginia have to pull what the Ohio GOP has been doing for the last decade or US democracy is right and truly fucked

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

We murdered two more people in a boat today. One survived the strike.

A nasal spray with nanotech that crosses the blood-brain barrier after stroke that can be used at home or on the way to the ER to minimize damage. Wow. China seems to have a lot of nice things. You'd think we could, too.

I like this, because it feels a little bit evil. Just the right amount

🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 Ukrainian cadets have completed their initial flight training in the Royal Air Force of Great Britain, necessary to begin training on fighter jets.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

With this lawsuit, FL parents & educators are making it clear: They believe public schools are the best place for kids to get a good education. We must strengthen, not abandon, our public schools. www.wgcu.org/2026-05-05/f...

It’s all a big pile of lies. bsky.app/profile/john...

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - the separate bathrooms were for blacks. As we saw in Virginia today, the past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.

If Black votes didn't matter, they wouldn't be working this hard to steal them. You don't spend millions of dollars and pass dozens of restrictive laws to stop something that "doesn't matter."

They don’t like him. They hate us. They will give up everything to destroy the rest of us.

The GOP is using the budget reconciliation process to try and shower even more taxpayer funding on ICE and Border Patrol. We need every Democrat loudly united against this legislation. Send your Members of Congress an email and urge them to use every tool at their disposal.

BREAKING: ABC has accused Trump's FCC of violating its free speech rights — arguing that regulators had a "chilling effect" on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with.

Trump gave the $6.9 mn contract to paint the reflecting pool to a crony, violating government contracting rules.

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Donald Trump already tried to overturn an election. Now he’s talking about building a White House ballroom with 6 inch thick blast resistant glass. This is not normal presidency behavior. It is fortress coup energy from a man who clearly has no intention of willingly letting go of power.

Part of what we're seeing is the long-foretold victory of Lee Atwater's covert racism strategy. Forty years later and journalists still have no ability to accurately describe a racist who doesn't use the n-word in public.

Between racial gerrymandering, cutting federal funding, firing military leaders, dismantling civil rights, & trying to rewrite history itself—it’s very clear this Administration has an agenda & a dark one at that. We must push back with everything we’ve got. Because, we 👏 are 👏 not 👏 going 👏 back!

This is your regular reminder from me that the word idiot derives from the Ancient Greek word idiotes, which meant someone uninvolved in public affairs - someone who only cared about their own life. Someone who didn't vote. …
