Hey MAGA...you claim veterans and our military are important to you. Prove it. Stop turning a blind eye to the POTUS and his appointees using them as pawns, risking their lives, and outright threatening them for standing for the oaths they swore to our country.

Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights. They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means. As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

Same for autism. It's not more common. It's just that they're not being institutionalized and hidden from society, mocked as "odd" or "difficult". They actually have access to diagnoses and therapy and medications (although it's still arguably too difficult to get a diagnosis and therapies).

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Soooo...she's just going to pretend the deployment of national guard to DC wasn't just found to be illegal by a judge? And in LA in September?

🖤 All the love for those finding their voices and breaking out of boxes. Your voice deserves to be heard, and you deserve to live freely. 🖤 #poetry #poem #poetrysky #writer #poet #feminism #healing

Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Get TF out of my state!

This young man has it exactly right.

It's not even because they don't share his politics. They literally just advocated for upholding the LAW!

If you think this is a rare extreme...it's not. It's actually very very common. I've seen it happen myself. This is how people in positions of power today got there. Because of people like this. It is awful and wrong, but not surprising to those of us who spent our lives seeing it happen often.

🧵 NEW: US rules say countries with diversity policies are infringing human rights. The Trump administration is attempting to impose Project 2025 anti-DEI agenda on countries outside the U.S., citing Christian nationalist ideology. The EU has doubled down on DEI. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Every time they try to slip small word changes past with claims that it's not a big deal, they're testing to see how far you will let their power reach and how little you care about protecting your neighbors. Keep calling them out. They've proven that bullies back down when they receive pushback.

Live your life so you’re not the only living president and vice president not to be invited to a former vice president’s funeral

Poverty and disability often go together. It’s difficult to “try harder” your way out of financial problems when you lose your health. The pull yourselves up by your bootstrap mentality goes out the window if you’re bedbound. It can happen to anyone at any time. They aren’t moral failings.

Someone should remind him that: he will be held accountable for his words at the end of his life. (Matthew 12:36-37) He should be defending the poor and helpless (proverbs 31:8-9, isaiah 1:17) He should be seeking justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly (micah 6:8) I could go on and on.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!” This is tyranny These kids are traumatized It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers. And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

When Marimar Martinez was shot five times by ICE, they claimed she was the threat. She was “ramming their vehicle” and brandishing a weapon. She ended up with 7 holes in her body. All charges against her were just dropped. Now they need to charge the agent who shot her!

Its very very bad that the President publicly posts a statement that, were I to post the same thing about him, would have the FBI knocking on my door.

Given the military history of failing to protect minorities, lgbtqia+, and women with *clear* policy against discrimination, harassment, and assault, why would I believe their claim that the word change won't affect enforcement? apnews.com/article/coas...

I try not to *hate* people...but this man makes it real hard! He has tried and failed repeatedly to find evidence to support their conspiracy theories. He needs to shut up and go back to the dark ages! Signed, a neurospicy household.

Trump is calling for the execution of his political opponents by hanging at the same time the Coast Guard announces the noose will no longer be classified as a hate symbol. Really let that sink in.

THISSSSS! I. Don't. Care. What. Party. They. Belong. To. They all deserve to rot! And the victims deserve justice! Just because the right and religious conservatives may be down to cover for pedophiles and abusers doesn't mean everyone is.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

OR...orrrrrrrrrrrr, and hear me out now, Atrium...you could stand up to protect both your patients AND your medical staff? They need to focus on patient care. They shouldn't also need to worry about becoming bodyguards as well. youtube.com/shorts/wKSwJ...

This government is basically function on a “la la la can’t hear you” approach with information they don’t like. youtube.com/shorts/v8mVR...

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

More shower poetry coming at you. Might have to compile a second poetry book before long.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

Sickos are on the loose in Charlotte

Powerful.

I'm sure a lot of people in my tiny hometown are angry about this. But this makes me so happy! Go Charlotte!

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

I get it. I used to be someone who couldn't be bothered to learn about politics. But sooner or later, politics affect us all. I'd rather get in the fight now than look up and realize there is no one left to fight beside me because I couldn't be bothered. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

Explaining sexual harassment to straight men.

And also we would not have a pedophile rapist for a president and his henchmen.

Every time I learn things like this, it makes me really angry that these things were rarely included in our education. But at least it gives me a chance to learn discuss history with my kids. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
